Ok so I started banting a week ago. Lost 1.2kg so far. Want to lose 5 - 8kg. Have two worries though... I have high blood pressure and cholesterol and use low dose medication for both as both run in the family. Do the banting pros on here think banting will do me good or should I be worried. Think I already hit ketosis as of yesterday
My sister is on the banting plan and stopped her cholesterol meds at the same time she started. After a month her cholesterol was at normal levels. Not to say you should do the same. We also do the banting, but have found we need a good muesli (Jungle Granola) in the mornings (with lots of Pick n Pay double cream joghurt) for good energy levels through the day. Methinks it will do you good. I lost 15 kg within about 3 months, but have been at the same weight for the last 6 months. Monitor your blood pressure and cholesterol as you go along.Ok so I started banting a week ago. Lost 1.2kg so far. Want to lose 5 - 8kg. Have two worries though...

Hah. I have become a fan of Cauliflower in all its various states. Been eating LCHF which became so called Banting for a long time, for over 18 months now. Lost weight and picked up all of it. Turns out its tough to do this strictly. I am now again trying to lose but I am now more Paleo. Strict Paleo, no alchohol or anything artificial, eat a bit more fruit and no diary - pretend to forget about ejuice. I have lost 5kgs after about a week and a half. Will remain strict until November and start reintroducing some wine etc. A beer or two at night after work does pile on the kgs, I have to reluctantly admit!Good grief I hate Cauliflower and Cauliflower in any form... if anyone tried to give me cauliflower mash and expect me to think it tastes anything like mashed potato I'm going to knee them in the face!

No, your palm size portions of meat only if I remember correctly. Some limitations on certain vegetables/fruit on the orange list, but that is because of carbohydrates contained in those. The focus is on carbs.
We are still going strong, and loving this style of eating.May I revive this thread?
How's everyone doing on this way of eating?
I've been reading up and it sounds awesome.
As I understand it, these fats feed your brain and your body does not have to process it like it has to with sugars and carbs.
I watched a YouTube video called "lard makes you lean". I used to use it in everything (love it!!!) then you could not get it anymore
Would love to hear from you guys
Onions on the green list - as much as you like.
