The Banting/LCHF Thread

[maumau]

Wondering if frying/steaming all vegetables in butter is unhealthy. Still worried a bit about previous negativity about fried food.

Been chopping kale, carrots, cauliflower and putting them all into one heavy bottom pan. Generous blob of butter on each group, caraway on carrots, garlic on kale and lid on.

Less than 10 minutes later all vegetables are cooked to perfection. Pour what's left of the butter over the top, add cheese to the cauliflower and enjoy with meat of your choice.

Wow, that was written by a retard!

nd he advocates eating around 50g of carbohydrates a day (about the equivalent of what you would get from an apple)

I've just weighed one of my apples, and it weighs about 110g. This means that, according to the article, my apple is about 45% sugar. 5 seconds of googling tells me that apples are around 14g of carbohydrates per 100g.

What size apples is this person eating? They must weigh half a kg. Thats impressive!

And the choccy?

It's not choccy Recipe came out of Low Carb is Lekker. Tastes nice, not the same as normal cake but a good substitute.

Has anyone used a good baste for ribs? Found a couple online of course but would rather hear from you folks.

alright cool, thanks ...... look out Saturday, it's ribs time

 

[Ancalagon]

Baste them at the end. Use a rub first, baste them in the last 10 minutes. Cooking from raw or partially cooked?

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Partially cooked ones from the butcher here, I just couldn't resist

 

[Ancalagon]

Okay then you can pretty much baste immediately.

Add paprika, cumin and oregano - they go nicely with pork.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Will do, thanks again guys

I assume some sort of zero \ low sugar kind? All Gold won't work as it is like syrup (have not read up on their lite version though)
