Anyone watch the Tim Noakes movie "Ceres Killers" yet?

What is it, and where might we find it?

Do they actually taste nice? How do you eat them?
I have hemp seeds but they are so uncomfortable to eat...

They taste a bit like poppy seeds. I put a tablespoon into a glass of water and let it swell into a gel and then drink it. I honestly don't know why I do that. The rest of house sprinkles them into yoghurt.

Just an Update.

I'm down to 106.4kg. My pants are starting to fall off. I need to make an extra hole in my belts now.

Snip.

I will do a weekly update from now

15 January - 115kg
20 February - 106.4kg
25 February - 105.3kg

My Goal is 95kg by end March. Still 10kg to go. It is getting harder now.

Nice one. Congrats.

Do you track your daily intake with an app (Like MyFitnessPal)?

How tall are you? That is good it can be done, my bro went from 115 to 88 he is over 190cm but he has put some of it back on (not sure of his current but should be between 90-92. He did it between August and December last year, he says the trick is keeping it off.

One thing that's bugging me still, because I just made another loaf, is that my mix never comes out as a batter. Mine is stiff as all hell, nothing like in the video whatsoever.

are you grinding your own flax seed?

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Not yet no, just buying flax meal

Not yet no, just buying flax meal

that could be your problem, there could be other additives in the meal to bulk it up (I think that's what they were alluding to in the video but it wasn't particularly well narrated)

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

I'll try it with the seeds and make my own but I think at the end of the day, I'm actually not that huge a fan of it after all so I may just skip it.

Nope. I just avoid certain things.

I'm 181. I can probably get to below 90. But my first goal is 95. Then I will see after that.

I hear they say that nothing tastes as good as thin feels
I wouldn't know though

Whoever the "they" were, they were lying to you

Right folks.

I know butter has been discussed a lot and there has even been another thread on it.

However I have a question on brands. I went shopping and noticed;

Lurpak, Kerrigold, MooiRivier, Checkers and PnP brands, Clover - salted and unsalted versions. Now I am not considering the butter spreads which are softer as they all contain some kind of oil; sunflower, rape seed etc and are processed to be softer.

Looking at the contents of the various others - specifically comparing Lurpak and Kerrigold to Clover salted butter I found no difference in ingredients or nutritional content. Is it then actually worth it to pay the extra premium for those oversea brands?

Btw - cooked with butter for first time this morning...I have seriously missed out in my life.

Your biggest issue with butter is whether it's from pastured or grain fed cows. All grain feed animals impact the omega3/6 balance stored in their fat, more 6s in grain fed than pastured hence why you need to aim for free range everything

I bought Kerrigold last night at Spar. Much better taste than Clover. IMO

You right, somewhere, earlier in this thread, there was a discussion about butter. I think the general consensus was that Kerrigold is the way to go.
