The Banting/LCHF Thread

Maybe you just have slutty pants?

Just like their owner

Your body cannot metabolise it.

Probably because its totally artificial

Sucralose has zero effect on insulin. Your body cannot metabolise it.

So what does that mean then? It's good? Or it's bad?

 

[Lament]

It's not all about how many Kg's you shed, it's the healthy living thing too.....you weigh 10kg less, but how much insulin is swimming in your blood? I guess if you don't care about being healthy, but just about the kg's, then there should be more corners that you can cut.

What Sinbad said.
If Insulin spiked, you would not reach Keto.

Also doubt anyone is doing LCHF to become healthier, we are doing it to lose KG's, losing KG's = healthier, but i'm pretty sure there are loads of other diets which are much more"Healthy".

It does not affect your diet. The reason they don't want you to take Sucralose is because you will then still crave sweet foods. (which is also a myth, i don't crave any sweets or chocolates)

I don't crave anything either. Xylitol and Stevia is a damn lot more expensive than Sucralose as well. I get the 100 sachet pack at a local store for R26 vs R70 plus for Xylitol or Stevia

Selati has a special at Checkers, its 300 tabs + 200 free for R44, be damned if I pay R70 for Xylitol or Stevia, ill be bankrupted

Stevia tastes YUCK!
Heavy aftertaste.

Doesn't even taste sweet to me when adding it to tea.

I prefer the sucralose 1g sachets though, somehow tastes better than the tabs.

We tried it in a loaf of bread from the real meal book... we stuck it out, but the aftertaste was there with every bite. Actually bitter! It reminds me of the old Canderel but worse.

Current Dis-Chem special

Tried a stevia-sweetened "ice-cream". Blended mascarpone, cream, and cocoa. Freeze and stir frequently. Very good and no aftertaste.

I've heard talk about those 'odourless' Coconut oils being too processed.

Current Dis-Chem special

Any preference - why odourless?

Ok, now that sounds worth a try. Will it work in an ice-cream maker? Is there a recipe perhaps?

Also, anyone have a recipe for the cauli pizza?

I skipped the protein powder, but still got something delicious. This was one of few recipes that didn't require an ice-cream maker which is why I chose it.
