The Banting/LCHF Thread

I cant quite remember, but I think i twas like 300 - 400 rand. The ketone test are very expensive. they are lik3 R35 per strip. So ten strips are as much as the bloody machine. !

So this morning I was up to 70.1kg after eating massive sirloin on the bone from the butcher shop in mouille point. So delicious! I felt so full that I couldnt finish the steak last night and I also still felt so full this morning and still even now that I probably only going to eat tomorrow again! Holy cow!. I weighed in now after a coffee and about 500ml of water, i was 70.5kg. Makes sense. Food and water weight.

I like Dr. Fung videos, I will try and get that book! Sounds very informative!
 
Tried some new recipes, kept it on the narrow mainly although being a bit more lenient towards low carb vs keto.

Got an idea for a low carb version of "invalid pie dessert" , gonna test it and see how it goes.

Actually pretty good. I knew that there would be periods where I was going to cheat but I made sure that I planned them as much as I could. I went on a short getaway before Christmas and although it was still pretty much LCHF I at more that usual and didn't do any IF. Then I knew that for 4 days starting on Christmas Eve, I would take let go of the restrictions. Even though I wasn't eating low carb at times during that 4 day period, I tried to stick to IF as much as possible. My total weight loss for December was just over 4kgs. Total to date is 65.2Kgs down current weight is 169.2kgs. In 3 weeks time I will have been doing LCHF for 1 year.
 
I went balls out over December... Surprisingly only put on 2KG's. Back on the fasting this week. Seeing as its been a month going to start this week with 24 hour fasts only, then next week will go back to 72's. I have a friends wedding coming up in March so I want to drop about 20kg or so by then (to add to my 35kg so far). Seeing as I am best man I need to look presentable...

Well done! Keep it up. I am also still doing LCHF for my re-feeds
 
My IF was intermittent but I didn't put any on. I also had a marshmallow here and there. But feel great and still my composition is changing looking better, less fat.

Also on the way to antarctica, crossing drakes passage as we speak. This is tough as we have personal butlers and also all good and drink included. So being strict. IF again but had a scoop of 72% dark chocolate ice cream. This doesn't affect me. Also note that once you are fat adapted even if you go out of ketosis you still burning fat as fuel and when you just if for one day you basically back in ketosis.
 
Hi, new member here. I have been reading on this forum for ages and just wanted to ask your opinion on this one: I have been doing LCHF for 3,5 years now. It started with no sugar, then no starches and the step to Banting was made quickly.
I don't cheat but I do eat starchy veggies or legumes or raisins etc when served in a dish. And I can't resist a few fries or some sweet potato. Also I taste tiny bits what my kids bake or eat to share in their experience. But haven't had a slice of toast or a spoon of rice.

I was wondering if any of you would ever consider stopping. Especially legumes and some grains surely should be beneficial? Oats? Quinoa? Rye bread? The occasional cracker?

I also have noticed fatigue in the past months which is new. So I really was wondering if it is time to reintroduce some carbs.

I lost 2 kg initially and gained them in the last year but have been stable. I didn't need to lose weight. I could lose I think by eliminating dairy. Last months my weight slowly creeps up.

Just wondering if this diet has reached its expiry date?
