Banting/LCHF Alternatives for those dangerous Carbs!

13/9/2014

2 Comments

 
About 18 months ago, I was diagnosed with Diabetes (Type 2) which I believe was caused by a lack of exercise and having gained 15kg in my tender oldER age!  I had to make a serious plan to lose weight and decided to go on a Banting/LCHF diet.  After researching Banting & LCHF (Low Carb High Fat), I kept to the basics & lost 10kg with very little effort.  I must admit that the "high fat" bit worries me but I found that anything high fat is very filling and I can't really eat that much of it anyway (too rich!).
Anyway it's worked for me and I feel so much better already - only 5kg to go!
On the top right of the A3Recipes.com home page I have provided Banting Alternatives for bread, chips, mash, noodles, pasta, pizza base, rice & wraps.  Please try them and the snack option (biltong) and let me know if you have any other ideas or recipes which you would like to share.  I would love to try them and will publish them (with full credit!).  Take care, Barbs.

Hi Barbs
I can't see the banting section on my tablet but am very keen to know more. I am however cauliflowered out!
I have a lovely spinach, lentil and bacon soup if you are interested although lentils are carbs?
Time for coffee!
Lots of love
B

Hi Beryl,
The banting section on the mobile (not PC) version is way down on the page so I have changed my website to now only display the PC version (on PCs, tablets, notes & smartphones). You should now be able to find the banting section on the top right of the home page. PLEASE let me know!
The cauli does get a bit much - I have to admit that I slip and revert to the potatoes now and then but I do find that I feel "stuffed" and sluggish afterwards.
The spinach soup sounds good so please send it to me. I will definitely make it and will also "play around" and offer a banting alternative to the lentils.
Hope Keith is on the mend now and will call you early next week to get together.
Take care!
Barbs
