Banting

[LandyMan]

We just tried this recipe for banting bread. Quick, easy and very tasty:

Mix 2 tablespoons of almond flour with 2 teaspoons of coconut flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Add 1 beaten egg and enough oil to get the consistency you want.

Cook in a microwave for 1 minute or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Voila. Making garlic bread with this recipe for our braai tonight

Added some bacon and cheese:

So its been 4 months and here are our results so far
Apart from the stable blood sugar, normal blood pressure and a bunch of other health benefits
we have lost
@BumbleBee 21,1kg
me 18,4kg
babybee 13,4kg

After a month of carb flu (thought it would never end) we have so much energy and feeling great!!!
Totally worth it

That's a lot of mass reduction @Bumblebabe! Congratulations to you guys. Something like this should do me good, but I don't do pig and assume banting relies a lot on pig for protein.

Thanks, it feels awesome

No not at all, we eat a lot less pork than we used to.
Protein is only the size of your palm.
The rest is veggies and a whole lot of fat
Olive oil,coconut oil, lard, butter, coconut cream, cream and so on.
The food is just to yummy to fall off his way of eating

Pics or it did not happen.

Man I wish I had taken proper "before" pics, but I'll try and rustle up something

But pics and weight loss aside, my BP is down from a constant 165/95 to a much more manageable 130/85. Resting heart rate is down from 125 to 85 bpm and blood glucose is 5.2 every time I check it. I also get far fewer headaches. Not to mention mood and energy levels are constant all day, I concentrate better and acid reflux is a thing of the past. Man I wish I knew about this sooner

Absolutely, same this side. And not smoking has helped too. Overcoming GERD and COPD at the same time - what a win!

Another good option is: http://fitchef.co.za/orderPage/21-Day-No-Bread-No-Sugar.php

I bought there cooking course been using it for 3 weeks now lost 7kg. (also a banting option included)
They teach you how to cook 55 meals in 2 hours perfect for if you have limited time and they giving it away for free this month.

Also no acid reflux anymore (they removed my gallblatter so that was a big issue for me) and more energie all over. Without giving up all carbs just no processed food and you can only have high quality carbs.

Awesome achievements @BumbleBee & @Bumblebabe

 

[Silver]

Wow @Bumblebabe and @BumbleBee
That is an achievement of note!
Well done

 

[johan]

@Silver I suggest you don't try banting, as only a vapour will be left after a day or two, just a friendly yet caring warning .

Lost 14kg's in 2 months so far. Only cut out sugar and starch. It's working for me and I'm never hungry.
