Hi Pam.

Nice to see another Low carber from Dublin. I live in Swords, where are you?

The occasional tomato is fine, but bread is generally out, unless you make your own. There are some Atkins recipes, but I made one with flaxmeal which is as quick and easy as soda bread.

Check out GG Scandavian Bran crispbreads in Holland and Barrett health food shops. They have so much fibre that they work on Atkins. They taste a bit like chewing woodchips, but at least you can spread your tuna and mayo on them.
