That is how it is in the low-carb world. When you low-carb, the way you eat changes radically. A whole paradigm shift is required. It's not easy at first, but it is very rewarding in the long run. You will not believe how good you feel and after doing it for a while, you won't look back.
You could start by offering a choice. For a snack, cheese and cucumber or meatballs. The next time, devilled eggs or celery with a little bit of peanut butter. That way they would feel like they have some say. You could do the same for all meals, and when there is a repertoire of things that they like, you can remove the choice.
Crisp fried pork rinds, which would be available where you live make a good snack.

A baguette has tons of carbs. 244 grams for a 14-inch loaf. A low carb way of eating is generally (for exeptional people) 100 grams and lower (for us mortals, 20-40 grams) per day.
