The Banting/LCHF Thread

[faniebraai]

I had this for breakfast. Tasted great but I don't think that this yoghurt was the best choice regarding LCHF.

It even says SWEETENED on the side

You better hang your head in shame

Horrible recipe dude. NO one try this please.

Awesome recipe, you did something wrong, here are the reviews from the banting facebook page:

You can substitute the sugarfree peanut butter for cream cheese, your important ingredient is the baking powder, it doesn't rise without it.

lol hey I'm slowly setting into the lifestyle.
So I've seen some sugar free but high carb stuff, then I see some low carb with sugar in it.

The plain double yoghurt at Woolies has 7,5 or 9 grams of carbs in it.

You said that you want to max 13 grams of carbs per day right? Can't find that post.

Nett carbs of around 20g/day.

20grams per day, but that's very strict.

Yeh you see 7.5 or 9 is just too much, hence me not using yoghurt at all

And the meat that you guys make at night? Does the spice or basting sauce not contribute heavily to carbs?

FWIW their Double Cream yoghurt has less (IIRC 5g/100ml). I can't remember off hand but I believe PnP & Spar's double cream yoghurts are also around 3 to 5g)

20g net carbs is the threshold where 99.99% of people will be in ketosis. Depending on your body, weight, age, sex, etc etc. the actual amount can be higher, some people can stay in ketosis at up to 50g.

Use spices with no sugar, like salt en pepper, cayenne pepper, ground chillies, etc.

Bought a nice banting BBQ sauce at dischem this past weekend.

On yoghurt, trying out the double thick honey dew plain Greek youghurt. Claims 7g carbs per 100g with a cup being 125g. I just ate half the cup so should be around 3g carbs. As a treat though.

Well, there's your problem: Facebook.

Seriously though, I followed your incredibly simple recipe to the letter and the results were very poor indeed. I have no idea how you get the egg and peanut butter to emulsify. I had little sperm looking bits of peanut butter floating in mine and subsequently spotted around the base of 'the finished product.'

I'm quite convinced that we just have wildly differing views of the definitions of "awesome" and "delicious".

Fair Cape does a full cream sweetened with xylitol. They come in the little tubs so you can grab one as you leave for work. >0.1g NC.

You didn't mix it properly, an electric mixer works the best but a handheld does the job - you end up with a sticky kind of paste, so if it didn't emulsify I assume you mixed with a fork or something. I am trying to bake a bread using triple the recipe, will post pictures if it comes out.

so easy peasy banting bread, 3 ingredients: 3 x eggs, 3 x tablespoons sugar free peanut butter, 1 teaspoon baking powder
bake for about 30 minutes:

Sorry about *** photos, ****ty old iphone
In the bowl


after mixing


finished baking:


very fluffy, slightly harder than cloud bread:


Roll done microwave version in 90 seconds:


Anyhow there is a hint of peanut butter flavour, but still goes well with eggs and various toppings. Ok thats me out with this recipe, I just thought it cool that in 90 seconds you can get a bread from 3 basic ingredients.

Adding that one to my library to try, thanx.

 

[Pakka]

Is that baked in the oven? Thought you first said in microwave?

 

[CamiKaze]

Since I'm not really fond of egg, can I do this with Psylium Husk?

I tried a different method, read on facebook that someone baked it so I tried baking it.
The roll in the last picture was microwaved.

Probably not.

 

[xcaliber]

Thank you. Will definitely try that

Ok, I definitely screwed this up. I used a whisk and I did the one egg, one tbsp version. The 'loaf' you have there looks interesting, like to try it.
