A reader shared this from a conference at Södertuna Castle in Sweden. Asking for LCHF resulted in this for the afternoon coffee break instead of baked goods. Not bad!
This is what day two looked like, without any instructions at all:
Have you had a similar experience at a conference?
The Real Association Between Butter and Heart Disease in Sweden
All the best Jan
I hope you can give me an idea about what to eat at breakfast....I like everything of LCHF in general, but when I wake up I really don't feel like eating meat or eggs or bacon....any suggestions?
Thanks,
Marina
But.. the big achivement is that its not another strange diet, many know about it.. mostly for reversing diabetes and for losing weight if one is obese.
Probaby there was some in that kitchen that was eating LCHF him/her self?
Otherwise they wouldnt have a clou, and thought that one need som biscuits or cake!
Leftovers from the day before.
A couple handfuls of macadamia nuts.
I know well enough to pack my own snacks (and rarely need to eat a "continental breakfast" in the first place, but in a pinch it's nice to have an egg or some cream cheese. I usually take an egg or two just in case I can't find anything for lunch, although I generally pack my own lunch.
The hard boiled eggs are about the best I can expect. If I asked for something LCHF, they would look at me like a crazy person.
You can eat what you want of course.
Here is something you might enjoy (although I would put "Roquefort" in place of "Stilton")

For a while I had a cow-share in a Guernsey that was grass-fed and so I got a regular allotment of raw milk. We got milk, cream and yoghurt, although the kids drank more of the milk than I did. The raw grass-fed dairy had a noticeable soothing effect on the gut. Unfortunately, at a town hall meeting the farmer embarrassed an ill-informed municipal Councillor, who took revenge by getting the farmer harassed by bureaucrats (endless environmental inspections but never cited for any violation). It got to be too much so he quit the cow-share arrangements to end the regulatory harassment. In our jurisdiction it is unlawful to sell raw milk (in order to ensure a monopoly for milk board quotas) and there is legal uncertainty over cow shares. The government does not want to push the issue directly (bad politics) so they do it indirectly through regulatory harassment. So we lost our supply and the kids no longer drink milk as they can't stand industrial milk now.

Dietary cheese whey protein protects rats against mild dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis: role of mucin and microbiota.

Abstract
Data from the literature suggest that the availability of the amino acids threonine, cysteine, or both, is limiting for mucin synthesis under conditions of chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Unlike casein, cheese whey protein is rich in these amino acids. The protective effect of cheese whey protein was examined using dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced inflammation of the large intestine in rats that were fed a diet containing casein, cheese whey protein, or casein supplemented with threonine and cysteine. The clinical markers diarrhea and fecal blood were determined using biochemical assays, and gene expression of inflammation markers was used to quantify inflammation. The effect of dairy protein on mucin production was determined by gene expression of rat mucin 2 (MUC2) and by quantifying fecal mucin excretion. Fecal lactobacilli and bifidobacteria were determined using quantitative PCR. Dietary cheese whey protein reduced DSS-induced gene expression of the inflammation markers interleukin 1beta, calprotectin, and inducible nitric oxide synthase, and diminished the clinical symptoms diarrhea and fecal blood loss. Moreover, cheese whey protein increased fecal mucin secretion without affecting gene expression of MUC2, suggesting enhanced mucin synthesis. In addition, cheese whey protein increased fecal lactobacilli and bifidobacteria counts. Supplementation of threonine and cysteine showed comparable effects. In conclusion, cheese whey protein protected rats against DSS-induced gut inflammation. This can most likely be explained by its threonine and cysteine content. Protection can be the result of both the stimulation of intestinal mucin synthesis and modification of microflora composition.
With experts who have 'so much knowledge', It's no wonder we are having a struggle to convince people of the benefits of ditching starch, sugar and grains. I hope she reads the stuff you find
We are fighting a losing battle.
For 'ROCK':
The other day, I reminded a vegetarian friend that his choice of lifestyle was only possible, because these days, so much fruit and veg is available to us out of season. The choice wasn't available to our hunter gatherer ancestors, and without meat they would have starved; maybe even in summer, they would have gone short of greens. Of course he told me I was being silly. He gave me the old saw, that we are not meant to eat meat! I think I will keep my counsel in future, and if he succumbs to diabetes, I shall know why; He won't be any the wiser, but it will be too late to help him, sadly. I hope that's not what is in store for you Rock...
But one can always skip baking and eat real food instead.
Nuts are fruits in a hard shell. Allergies vary. My wife is allergic to raw tree nuts from temperate zones (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans) but not if they are cooked. She is not allergic to tropical zone nuts (macadamia nut, coconut, Brazil nut). Same with other tree fruit. Allergic to apples, pears, peaches, etc., unless cooked, but not tropical tree fruit.
I spoke with one of my dairy artisans yesterday at the market. They have tried making mare's milk cheese but have a difficult time getting it to consistent commercial quality. I asked if they could make me some yoghurt.
Zepp, there's no reason to slam LCHF baked goods or impugn the people who eat them. Low-carb baked goods *are* real food; unlike their sugary counterparts, they are full of nutrients. If I use an egg to make an omelette, that doesn't make it more virtuous than if I use the same egg to make a muffin. I'm still eating an egg.
The only negative thing I see in this lunch is the surprising absence of dark green leafy vegetables (a good salad with a tasty olive oil vinaigrette would make an excellent complement to these very nice cheese slices.
