Isn't that more like ground almonds or almond meal?

No idea, I just asked google, as I said.

I suppose ultimately, are you able to cook with the result?

What do you guys make of this:

Almond flour is a little darling of grain free, Paleo/Primal, and low carb baking. It easily rivals conventional flour in its ability to produce tender and fluffy baked goods. Unfortunately, almond flour has numerous detrimental health consequences. It is important to understand these aspects of almond flour, so you can make the decision to avoid almond flour or choose to use almond flour with judicious moderation.

1. Almond flour skews perception about quantity

2. Almond flour is very high in inflammatory PUFAS

3. The fats in almond flour aren’t heat stable

4. Almond flour is high in enzyme inhibitors

5. Coconut flour is healthier than almond flour

More weight lost. I have now lost a total of 10kg so far. Another 40 kg to go
 
Hey guys, just to let you know that I did order from melfort a month ago, and I have to say, I absolutely love the products! Five stars!

They have Lard, Beef and Lamb Tallow, and Duck Fat. I bought a jar of each.

http://www.melfort.co.za/

So throw out your vegetable oils, save your olive oil for dressing salads, and get some wonderful saturated fat!

At Melfort we use traditional production methods that have been handed down through three generations. We use only the finest quality raw materials from Grass-fed Beef and Lamb and Free-Range Pork and Duck. These are the best cooking oils for a Palaeolithic diet, any low carbohydrate diet, traditional meals (across all South African cultures) and all-round healthy living. Melfort oils have high levels of CLA and optimal ratios of Omega 3 : Omega 6 essential fatty acids; just as Nature intended.

At Melfort we open-kettle render our product, at the lowest possible temperatures to produce the finest and purest oils. This is a long and slow process but it produces the highest quality product. Our product is pure, it is:

* preservative free
* unbleached and is naturally creamy in colour
* non-deodorised
* non-hydrogenated
* trans-fat free
* stable at high temperatures and has a high smoking point

Melfort edible animal fats will keep for 6 months unrefrigerated and for a year when refrigerated. The stability and purity of our products means that you will be able to enjoy wholesome, healthy animal fats the way our bodies were designed to.

Happy to report that after 1 week of LCHF (and additionally cutting out all sugar and coffee), I have lost 5 kilograms.

haven't tried them, marketing BS, not miracle food at all

as a rule if it's supposed to be some form of miracle food it generally isn't it's just miracle marketing

Yeah I eat them. Hardly a miracle, just full of omega 3s. And I like the way they swell up in a glass of water. Looks like caviar haha. Note: although they may be high in omega 3s, they are plants and therefore contain ALA. Humans are not that great at converting ALA to EPA & DHA, and you would see better results getting your omega 3s from fish oil.

Do they actually taste nice? How do you eat them?
I have hemp seeds but they are so uncomfortable to eat...
 
this coming Saturday will be my 2 month mark, I'm hoping for some good measurements and weight. I have a feeling though that the weight off is quite a good amount though, kinda hard not to see it missing, lol :D
