Carbs and sugar activate insulin. Insulin stores fat. Rinse repeat...

Real cream is nice in coffee!
Quite a lot. 4.7g/8g. http://www.fatsecret.com/Diary.aspx?pa=fjrd&rid=3894897
Why do you say it's nonsense?
By the way, I hate the taste of my coffee with cream. I'd rather use full fat milk.
Because I haven't seen evidence to the contrary. If you don't like the taste of cream, leave it out, the milk too. Milk is high-ish in carbs.

I've made a good few things from the LC is Lekker book now and I'm very impressed. Really glad to have found it, it's making things a helluva lot easier. Very recommended once again.
Not that I am aware of. Remember that carbs in coconut flour are also much higher than almond flour...
Oh wait, my pizza bases are made from macadamia nut flour but I have never seen the flour for sale on its own and it would be a course flour because if you grind it down too far, it becomes butter
Thx, that really cuts out alot of "treats" unfortunately...
Where do you get the pizza base from?

What kind of treats are you being sad about x S1 x? There are quite a few things you can make to lessen the pain a bit.
Can you recommend something to lessen the pain of cleaning up after LCHF?
The kitchen's a mess after all the frying

Yeah pretty much all of them do. I've seen a few with just dessicated coconut but it's like 2 or 3 things. Any reason you're against the almond flour, allergic maybe?
Yeah, wifey is highly allergic...

Join the allergy club... you can substitute any nut or seed flour... I buy mine from Komati Food or the Creeds online shop-both have any nut flour you can think of most of the time
try macadamia nut flour, really nice and comes a bit finer as well. is your wife allergic to nuts?
if so then the mac flour wont work
then your gonna have to get those isolate flourssoy isolate etc wont really find them in SA will have to get from UK, working on getting some
in myself. supposed to be able to make much better bread than the nut flours.
