The Banting/LCHF Thread

I've heard that being in ketosis makes your breath stink - so that could be one way - unless you have naturally awful breath.

There's no real evidence of this that I've come across, people usually get confused between ketosis and ketoacidosis which is related to diabetes, ketoacidosis gives the breath an almondy/nail polish kind of smell

My wife moans at me all the damn time. I have resorted to chewing a peppermint sugarfree gum before going to see clients just in case.

I have never been told my breath stinks until I started banting. It is most potent from waking up until my first meal late morning.

Doesn't bother me so I am all out of F's

Maybe you have gingivitis dude!

Constant fighting over the air con remotes for heating this side. Wife wants none of it while I am freezing. Missing those 26kg's of blubber right about now :-/

Hmmm, bit of a weird breakfast this morning but was tasty.

Scrambled eggs ( x 2 ) with tuna and cherry tomatoes.

Spur carb-concious breakfast with top up patty and 2x cappuccino's. Just what winter ordered for my morning brunch

For once I week I don't stress

My other regular go to is KFC which is better - fried in healthy palm oil

I promised myself I would try that top up next.... or, add the patty and the livers for a PROPER brekkie

Sooo if I just need to have a beer as my weekend treat...a Hansa Pilsener will be better than a Castle Lite?
And more alcohol per bottle?
Sounds good to me.

Oooo that looks good. Have to go there to get myself stocked up on fiber pills, and I'll look for that.

FWIW - after 1.5 years of banting, my cholesterol is at 3.8, and I started at 3.7. So essentially it has stayed the same. Nice to have evidence (even if my sample size is only 2) that banting does not adversely affect cholesterol.

Been going for 12 weeks now, I know my cholesterol was 4.6 last year same time, it's now 3.4. Certainly seems good for it to me and my sugar is a happy 4.5
