Sweet Potatoes(patats) are good, right? Having some with a decent piece of rib eye steak tonight.

Nope, basic rules for veg is green leafy veg and anything else that grows above ground

Try and avoid cheese for your "good fat" intake. You could use feta, or specific cream cheeses, but that falls more under the protein portion and not the fat portion.

I would die without my cheese esp blue cheese

Oh crap. There goes half our menu for the week.

Back to the drawing board.

Seriously need to get my hands on that revolution book so that I can educate myself.

I disagree with that point which is why I asked for a source, cheese generally contains more fat than protein although it can be close

And this is why I don't follow this lchf plan that closely.

Yes, sweet potato is a carb, but it's a damn great carb loaded with vitamins, minerals, anti oxidants and more goodness.

I rather limit and control my carb intake to specific types and times of day. Still getting great results.

But as we all know, many ways to skin a kat. Hehe.

Most hard cheeses are high in protein but always watch the salt content.

Why?

 

[Kornhub]

Why?

Salt can be a problem for some people? You can just get more potassium though

For the past two days I have had chicken for lunch and some of the egg muffins with mushroom and onion filling.

Still struggling with the lunch thing. I used to grab take-aways almost every day.

Is chicken with the skin on acceptable? Like the roasted chickens from Woolies or Spar.

Salt is not the enemy it's made out to be

Nothing wrong with chicken skin

Must second OMB, starchy vegetables are not exactly good...nor bad exactly

Depends whether you have high/low blood pressure. But what many people do not realise, is that sugar has the same effect on your blood pressure as salt... so... if you have blood pressure issues, you gots to cut the sugs too

Agreed, but surely it's better to get your 'allotted' carbs from veggies as opposed to my personal favourite, pizza.

I have baked sweet potato on rare occasions - in small quantities, and I watch my other carbs for the day.
Pumpkin is also much lower than butternut, again just watch how much.
