Remarkable @Bumblebabe and @BumbleBee !
Wow!
Gluten free pizza
Ow that looks decent!
Only got the time to read through all of this now what an amazing thread thanks @Hooked.
@Jengz congratulations man awesome seems like we started our journey more or less the same time I also started with what ever I am doing now wife say's it's keto and I also do intermittent fasting but not really out of choice(basically have no time for breakfast and no time at work to eat) and basically not a true fast because I have coffee but I dropped 20kg +- from last year November so it's working I am literally the lightest I have ever been and 4 kilograms away from my goal weight. Then on another note I have lost a total of 40kg +- in 4 years been on and off diets for a while but the low carb thing works no cravings and a lot of energy.
Like @Jengz I "cheat" over weakends but I feel terrible the next day physically sick after a cheat day worse than babelas after this weekend me and the wife will be attempting 21 days of low carbs and no sugar.
Just wish I could find some time for exercise.

And my mom wanted a taste - said it tasted pretty good for a gluten free pizza .
One cup gluten free self raising flour
Salt
One egg
A bit of water - not sure how much
3 tablespoons coconut oil
Mix together til dough forms into a ball. Knead til smooth. Roll out carefully - if left to dry, it will crack at the edges.
This makes one pizza Base.
And you're welcome.

Had some chocolate brownies from them and they are amazing still can't believe they are low carb.

@Friep That's a phenomenal weight loss!! I agree that the low carb works and if I've cheated (which I shouldn't as I'm diabetic) I also feel terrible the next day - splitting headache, can't think straight - feels as though my head is stuffed with cottonwool, no energy, can't stay awake.
Absolutely awesome. Well done on ya mate.
That's the cool thing about intermittent fasting, it allows you more frequent cheat meals and if you take that cheat meal, hold it till the end off the day (if you workout in the late afternoon or evenings) and eat it then, you'll drop even more. Carb cycling.
Should one day put all this knowledge to use, lol.
Carrots is (Carrots are?) the nr 1 vegetable to avoid during low carb...not the point I know but kinda interesting.
Very true! Carrots are full of sugar - but I'd still rather have a chocolate lol
Eating one as we speak @Hooked
Looks awesome! Homemade is always better. Well done
Well done!!
Go for gold. Make time for yourself.
But look at strength training, you benefit a lot more from that.
The “cheat” is a sugar spike. That hurts those of us that are insulin resistant. Great news there is that you can heal that with enough time. The more intermittent fasting you do the more you heal.
Keep it up.

Use coconut cooking oil as your base with great raw cocoa and a good sweetener, and you have an amazing chocolate that does no harm.
oh it’s all in the ingredients. Chocolate is not the enemy.

Oh it was awesome. I couldn't finish it and had half for lunch. Leftovers are always a win
@Hooked what she said. I've done it before too.
As @Bumblebabe said, chocolate is possible, depending on what kind of chocolate.
Here's a quick, no-cook recipe for delicious, guilt-free chocolate.
Banting Nutella
1 tbls of nut butter (macadamia, peanut, hazelnut)
1 tbls cocoa
1 tbls melted coconut oil
Artificial sweetener to taste.
N.B. I've found that Macadamia butter is sweet, so I don't need to add an artificial sweetener
Stir until smooth - and guzzle!
And instead of eating Oreos, you can ever pour it over your low-carb ice-cream. Yummy, yummy!

Take care not to consume to much nut butters and flours. It does lead to too much soooo quickly and the carbs can add up to too much.
Thats why I said coconut oil, maybe with some coconut as well. Coconut still has a lot of fibre that helps with the carbs.
Best pizza ever (yes it is a dairy overload)
2 big hand full grated cheddar
1 hand full grated mozzarella
1 tbsp Parmesan powder
2 eggs
Garlic
Italian herbs
2 tbsp coconut flour
2 tbsp yogurt
Mix all together and spread out on an extra large baking pan covered with baking paper. You must use the paper.
Keep spreading, you'll get used to how to do it. I use a Teflon spatula. Bake on 180°C for 10-15 min, or till golden.
Option to turn and bake for another 5 min.
Take out and cool for about 5 min.
Add topping and bake till top cheese is melted.

That looks Delicious!!! Will definitely give it a go
Now I'm hungry! I love olives on pizza - pineapple with bacon is awesome.
Chocolate brownies are easy. I once made it for someone's birthday. My brother loved it so much that he asked me in January to make it for his birthday - double the batch and send it with him to jhb as he was on side for work.
Add some cream cheese and coconut flour and you have an amazing chocolate cheesecake
