I'm pretty lucky in most respects,I don't eat much sweet stuff,haven't put sugar in coffee or tea since I was about 18 years old (now 53) and I can't stand the taste of it,but I love bread,pasta,rice and potatoes so thats the tough part.I can safely say that since the day I started vaping,coming up for two years I've never been tempted to try a ciggie,but the bread story is killing me after a few days.I feel so sorry for you
I dont have that at all. Loving the food I'm allowed to eat so its not a problem.
I really thought I was going to go after the sweets but not even craving that
Maybe your fat intake is not high enough, I see people say that if you make it higher you will feel more satisfied and wont drool after the foods you miss.

Ek is 'n Engelsman,I can't eat that stuff,its OK if its dry though!
That is wonderful
Ok I confess, if someone ate pasta in front of me I would probably die!!!
There is a bag of pasta in the cupboard that is teasing, BUT it is also a reminder of what I am trying to do.
I thought I would miss bread too but not so far
Just be strong!!
Dry but with lots of fat on it will still do the trick.
We love the wet fatty biltong
Hehehehe
It is so cool that the foods you love so much you may eat
I'm now trying to figure out if spices are allowed or not, some say yes and some say no...... pffff

I eat spice regardless... there are certain things i wont give up... yes, i probably wont lose as quickly as the rest, but im chosing this as a lifestyle, so i will reach my goal anyway! lol
That is wonderful. I lost some 15 kg in the first 3/4 months (started December 2013). Since then my weight has been stable.
Same here - whiskey, red wine and cognac will not be given up. Bread does not bother me at all, but was a huge problem for HRH. I tried about a dozen banting bread recipes for her without success. Struck gold with this recipe - give it a try.
Substitute potatoes with sweet potatoes. It is on the orange list, but you can have one a day, which is a lot. Just use your normal potato recipe for the sweet potatoes - we do a potato bake with sweet potatoes, a garlic and butter sweet potato, etc.
Hi Andre
Thanks for all advice,just one thing did you lose 15kg and still drink alcohol.
Yes, we have the first edition of the book, which says whiskey and dry wine are fine
. The anti-alcohol lobby made sure it was condemned in subsequent editions. But, we are moderate and social only drinkers.

That is awesome
well done!!We are looking forward to loosing some more
Alcohol is no problem for us, maybe once a year I'll have wine and @BumbleBee will have something or another
So no biggy
Thanks for all the input, every bit helps.
Got my pork fat and am ready to render some lard, first time ever so hold thumbs
So I started the lard rendering.
After 1:30 hours I have this much.
Then my dad said I'm doing it wrong
So now I have chunks in and not draining it off as I go lol
I have 2kg to do, will share with you how it goes.

And here we go. 6:30 hours later we have 2 bottles of lard.
Smaller cuts work better my way
One on the left still cooling and the other one has been in the fridge.

You make a burger, but instead of bread you wrap everything in a big lettuce leave. You'd be surprised how nice it works
Now after making crackle as per picture below. We have a 3rd bottle of lard.
1/2 a bottle that will taste different.
Added some Himalayan salt to the crackle

Wow, you are melting away! New clothes are expensive and shopping for them is insanely horrible....ask me.and this bee is down 3.6kg since Wednesday
Melting is exactly what we're doing up here in "tropical paradise"
Shopping for new clothes is not a problem, we're in the right line of work for that
Guess I'll have to start making those cargo pants in a smaller sizeMelting is exactly what we're doing up here in "tropical paradise"
Shopping for new clothes is not a problem, we're in the right line of work for that
Been meaning to make them in black
Lol, I hate shoppingMelting is exactly what we're doing up here in "tropical paradise"

Lol, wait for the weight to stabilize otherwise you will have to do a new size every second week. I walked around with oversized clothing for quite a while until HRH forced me to go malling.Guess I'll have to start making those cargo pants in a smaller size
Been meaning to make them in black
I think @BumbleBee does not mind the malling this as much as I do.
I hate shopping, no matter what it is. Even litte bee has to live with supplier t-shirts and home made shorts
We cooked veggies and chicken pieces in some of the fat I rendered and I am happy to report it was delicious
Well worth all the hours.
Ok I would like to know if you are joking or insane
I tasted it, just a tiny sprinkle and my mouth was on fire for half an hour!!!!!!
How do you get a teaspoon of it in at once, do you stay conscious??????
I must say it's really good in the food

lol, ok first of all it must be the right stuff. The color should be more red than orange.
The trick in taking it with minimal burn, is to place the teaspoon of CP in an espresso cup. Add just enough water to mix it in, as little as possible is best. Then stir it with the back of the teaspoon, and quickly pour into your mouth.
Don't swallow yet though, fill the espresso cup as above and then swallow. Do this a few times and there is virtually no burning. The mistake some people make is using too much water.
