The Banting/LCHF Thread

Got a nice surprise in the (online ordered, delivered shopping) shopping bags the other day. 3 Huge fresh heads of Broccoli. I only realised after the delivery van had gone, so decided that a soup would be best out of them.

Made a Broccoli and cheddar soup, with crispy bacon bits and double cream mixed in. It was a hot day though, so soup was not exactly the best idea. I cannot wait for winter when I can whip out the blender and soup recipes in earnest.

Welkom. 13 maande vir my en ek kyk nie terug nie.

Since I started banting, my self regulation prevented me from over eating. That was until I discovered banting chocolate mousse. :wtf:
There are tons of recipes, but the last one contained cream, egg whites, cocoa, xylitol. I just cannot stop.

Hmmmm we use just cream, cocoa and xylitol, it is a very addictive dessert.
 
I have achieved my weight loss targets and exceeded them, but now I would like to get rid of remaining stomach fat. How do I do that? I hate GYM btw...
 
I have two questions
Besides broccoli and water what else helps with digestion? Cheapest option
My father is a diabetic and he's been Banting for the past week or so. Is this a good thing?

Have to reduce your bodyfat. If you're staying on banting then it should happen organically.

Anyone else find they get a flat week? Had my second one last week since starting, no scale weight loss but still feel less and the the following week is normally double loss, almost like a catchup.
 
Noakes was on the radio this morning driving to work. He said he estimates that 50% or more of the population is pre-diabetic. He mentioned a test that you can do...something someting blood glucose blah blah test. If your test approaches 6 then you are pre-diabetic. A study they did in Bellville Cape Town I think it was turned out that about 50% of people tested in the pre-diabetic range. That is scary.

Depressing, but I'm not surprised at all. I've lost track of how often I've seen people with a pie in one hand and a coke in the other, at 7 in the morning. If they're starting their day eating like that, it's no wonder their pancreas just get gatvol with all the blood glucose/insulin spikes and give up

Pie and a coke that still half ok i see ppl line up infront of KFC in the morning with the mini loaf and milllllions of chicken pieces

I cheated. Bought two burgers from Spar Diner .... had one now and the other is for tonight. I could not help myself. I JUST HAD TO HAVE A BURGER!!!!!!!!! :o
 
Haha, don't feel so guilty about it :D Remember, eating healthy is a marathon, not a sprint. Eating something you're not supposed to once in a while isn't going to kill you. If you end up going through keto flu again afterwards, just remember to up your electrolytes!
