I tried the Shepherd's pie last week, it was not a pleasant experience, I'll stick to my own cooking thanks

the title sounds a bit disingenous, but actually when you read what he has to say it's effectively that some alternative dishes just aren't as good as carb based dishes, sounds fair enough if you still crave pizza, bread or anything based on a regular dough mixture
Help. I started following a low-carb diet a few months ago. Everything been going fine. But in the last week I've started suffering with Restless Legs at night. I believe this is what's it's called anyway, it's an insane almost itching feeling in my feet and in the last few nights in my hands, like I have to move them but moving them doesn't help. I've read low-carb can mess with electrolytes, can this be what's happening to me? Does anyone have experience in this? Please tell me what to eat. A bowl full of sugar. An oven full of bacon. I don't care just please make this stop before I start hacking limbs with a knife. I can feel it start around 6-7pm and it doesn't seem to end until early hours of the morning. It is torture.

LCHF products are expensive because of the low demand. There are a few LCHF related subreddits which (for me) seem to be good enough as resources.

@FoamBone, like Sinbad said see a doctor. You can make an electrolyte beverage by drinking chicken broth with some extra spices, and iron you can get from spinach and liver.

I love focaccia bread. "But you can't eat bread on lchf!" you say. Well I thought so as well, until I saw this recipe:

(Google translated because it's in Swedish. "Fiberhusk" is probably psyllium husk)
Maybe it's just because I haven't had any in over 6 months, but eating this fresh out of the oven was just amazing.

I'm assuming you used psyllium when you made it then?

Just went to go stock up on my banting snacks..
big bags of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds and biltong.
Where can I find flax seed bread or other allowed bread products? Food Lover's doesn't stock it.

Thanks 
. Besides Flax Seed bread, are there any other alternatives?

To bread? Google "cloud bread". I used to make them and use them as the bread for bacon and egg with cream cheese sandwiches.
Also almond flour buns. I've made a roti-type of thing with that recipe as I don't have silicon large muffin tins.
