We're officially giving this a go. @Bumblebabe made us some bulletproof wonder coffee this morning. It's not as unpleasant as it sounds but it's going to take some getting used to.
Wifey and I are back on it also! Good luck guys!
The biggest challenge I think is going to be bread, and the convenience if all these bad foods like dried fruits and nuts. There is nothing nicer than cold meat sandwiches, especially in this heat. I do like the idea of biltong but let's face it, it's not the cheapest snack. Maybe a good time to start looking at making our own.
Do you have the book? There is a wonderful toasted nuts and bacon recipe in there that is perfect for snacking. If not, just shout and will let you have the recipe. Do try the bread recipe I posted above - Almond flour not cheap unfortunately, but I get in bulk from http://komatifoods.giddyupcms.com/OnlineCatalog/Almonds-list.aspx
We were in the pharmacy yesterday, picked up a bottle of Solal Stevia Sweet for R99. I tried sneaking a Damascus Nougat through at the till but my family busted me. I was approached by the staff, they offered me a Tim Noakes book instead, sommer net out of the blue like that.... was so funny
Didn't have an extra R305 on me but I am keen on going back for it.Thanks for the tip @Andre, will check it out
We could not stomach the Stevia. Found the Xylitol much better. Will post the nuts snack just now.We were in the pharmacy yesterday, picked up a bottle of Solal Stevia Sweet for R99.

No question... Stevia is the worst tasting substance known to man! Whoever sells this as a sweetener should go to jail for life because it's nothing like a a sweetener!
This would be a better sweetener than Stevia.
Wow that looks amazing!
We were in the shops yesterday, I was telling @Bumblebabe we need to get some, but couldn't remember why
@BumbleBee we will fix that brain of yours soon.

I have no idea where to get Xylitol from, may I ask for a picture of it
please

Xylitol is available at all the supermarkets and it looks and tastes like sugar! Check in the sweeteners section. Our house is being painted inside and out and everything is covered in sheets... will try and take a pic of it when the covers come off.
In some supermarkets you will find it in the Health Foods isle. Here is the brand most widely available. Some cheaper at Wellness though.I have no idea where to get Xylitol from, may I ask for a picture of it

Thanks for the info, will look next time
This can get so confusing, we'll try things out and find what works
@Andre
Just 3 eggs, some full cream milk whisked (still have to try cream)
In the pan on low heat, on one side the grated cheese and mushrooms. I added parsley and origanum oh and Malaysian salt. Cover and cook.
There was no recipe I just tried and it worked
Oh and it's cooked in a chunk of butter
I'll be more confident with more ingredients soon.
I'm making lard this weekend so will try it again with that

You need to have a read up on the benefits of cayenne,much too long a list to type out.Buy I'll tell you one thing,you need to be brave to drink it with some warm water,even with lemon juice added it's about the worst thing I've ever tried to drink,try it you'll see.Why?
Thanks @Genosmate I just finished reading about it.
So over all because it is very good for you in so many ways

Yep supposedly brilliant stuff,but getting it down is the problem.I've never lasted more than 3 days of taking it and I just can't stand it!Thanks @Genosmate I just finished reading about it.

Will see, maybe just take it like a bitter pill, fast and chase it down with biltong or something
