The Banting/LCHF Thread

I don't ever exercise by the way.
How do you work that TDEE out?

Sedentary lifestyle. Your TDEE will be lower than someone of similar BMI who works out, for example.

I'll be sitting in the toilet more than my desk!!

Better than being too scared of going to the toilet because of kidney stones

Forgot to weigh in this morning, Friday is usually my weigh in day. This week I tried starting to use My Fitness Pal again to track exactly what I'm eating just to get some stats going, but after just 2 days I forgot to enter my stuff, guess it's just too much of a shlep to do it every day.
Anyway apart from 3 Castle lights I've being good this week, so expecting between 1 and 1.5 kg down tomorrow morning come weigh in.

Hey everyone. New to the forum, so not sure what I'm allowed to post here in terms of product placements?

There is a great sugar-free, preservative free and no artificial ingredient cool drink on the market. Would like to post the link here if I may

Ok great, thanks!

Have a look at www.footys.co.za for more info, or to order directly. Alternatively, if you have an Anjas Banting store close by, I know they are stocked there too. Great alternative for sugar replacer in cool drinks, good for the rest of the family and no artificial ingredients.

With Banting philosophy it is best to avoid processed foods.
If it doesn't look like a strawberry but a powdered version then it's not a strawberry.

Also it's not good to use too many sugar free sweetened products as it confuses the brain and make you crave more sweet things.

I get what you are saying, I have been banting now non stop for +- 7 weeks, have no cheated once, there are just some days you really really crave for something sweet (And i dont even like sweets), So rather than fcking it up by cheating, why not cheat with something like this?

Glass of Full Cream with a few drops CreamSoda Drink o Pop makes a wonderful drink. CremeSoda Kwik basically.

I found some low carb, sugar free gummy bears at the Health Shop in Rosebank. Scratched an itch I really wanted to scratch.

Sugarless confectionery.

Quite tasty. Everything they say about sugarless gums and their effects on the digestive tract is true.

Generally the Banting wannabes of existing recipes like bread, cakes etc are never tasty so I avoid them and just treat myself and cheat on the real deal

Saw and had to grab a box ....... have made 3 pasta dishes now and reckon still got 2 serves left from the box so pretty worth it.

 

[paddy_za]

[Mephisto_Helix]

[RanzB]

What portion of pasta are you having with each meal?
