The Banting/LCHF Thread

[Replay]

Example: my whole life, when going on holiday I would have this urge inside just to eat and eat without restraint. First stop would be a Spar to load a trolley from the sweet and chip isles. This last holiday in Cape Town I merrily walked along the isle while my wife chose contraband for her and my daughter while I was quite happy to take 2 slabs of Lindt 85% and some packets of nuts.

Completely new experience for me.

nah,I don't have that problem....been Banting very strictly since November last year with damn good results.

Was kidding about a reward system....but I'll be lying if I say I don't sometimes miss a burger for example. So like today I've decided to make one. Next burger might be in 3 months.

@fanie, I don't think of this as a diet...have been long enough on LCHF that my body is use to it.
Hunger is not something I struggle with anymore

Of course you will miss stuff, it's just about when you indulge that you don't reward yourself for acting "normally"

I've noticed after a week on this eating plan I'm battling with constipation the last day or 2.

Up your fibre. Psyllium husk is a good source. Casalotti's cauliflower pizza has a lot in it...

Been here. Fix for me was plenty of water all day, every day. One day I was naughty and didn't drink water regularly. Guess what happened that evening.

Water!

Will give it a try.

Water!

I do drink a lot of water, at least 2.5 litres a day. Maybe I'll have to drink more.

Defrosting mince to make my first meatza.....

Nooooo, 2.5l is plenty - you can overdo the water (google it).
Sounds like you need fiber - up your veg intake. Its too easy to forget about the fiber and micro nutrients on lchf. Nibble fresh veg in between meals.

Will try the veggies. I've been drinking this amount of water daily for the last few months, not only when I started this eating plan a week ago.

Too late. ;-)
Base was a bit flavourless. Going to try adding some spices and more salt next time.

What did you add to the base? I normally do lots of salt and pepper. No egg, or anything like that.

1.8 vs picking up? I'll take that. Look at it this way, you have lost about 3 of those bricks of butter. Not so bad now, hey?

If you put it that way i presume it's better than nothing. It was my first week.

imagine yourself in a month at this rate. Over 7kg in one month is not too bad hey just keep going.
