Cool. Good luck with the lo-carbing! Just talking from my experience, maybe skip the dried fruit and bananas. Same effect on your body as the gels. And be carefull with the nuts. Hidden carbs deluxe.

no results... that sucks

Results? Out yet?

Lets face it, the Carte Blanche segment on HFLC / Banting was pretty lame. Uninformative. No science, just sensationalism. The debate on Twitter after was the usual hogwash of dieticians (pro and am) spouting garbage about "everything in moderation - eat less move more - Noakes has no science to back up his claims". AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!! I don't know how Prof Tim keeps going. Power to him.

Yeah, I think some European company was trying to copyright the word "Rooibos".

U can't sell fakes. Regardless if you tell the buyer or not. That's just asking for ****.

Guess us Saturday workers are doomed to do Babbas over and over and over and over... FML... Because I'm working Saturday I'm flying thru to Sabie after work at 1 to do Sundays halfy *sad face here*

Regarding calories. My opinion. They do count... but don't count them. THEY'RE NOT RELEVANT ENOUGH. Three weeks will not give u an indication if the "diet" "works". It can only work. It's science. Take it over a year before you decide it doesn't "work". Let me guarantee you, it works. I lost 23 kgs in 2005 and been stable within 3 kgs since. My tips: Make sure you track fat for a few days though to get used to the amount of fat you need. Use an app like myfitnesspal to track fat (BUT DONT COUNT CALORIES - NOT RELEVANT). 70% of intake should come from fat. Remember it's NOT lo-carb high protein. It's lo-carb hi-fat moderate-protein. Don't worry about quantities of food, the brain will do that for you IF your fat is high enough. If your fat is high enough you CANNOT feel hungry.

I'd say you should drop the banana and just go for half an apple. Will spike ur glucose and make you hungry shortly after. And don't bother with the brown rice. Rather have a salad. Don't worry about food quantities. Your brain will regulate that on its own. You don't Just try to keep the fat up, use an app like myfitnesspal to track ur fat. Get it over 70% of intake but DONT COUNT CALORIES. Its pointless. To quote Mark Sisson: Eat lots of plants and animals (self explanatory) and avoid poisons (all breads, grains, rice, root veg, processed food, food in sealed packets)

Article says... "Canola oil is a refined vegetable oil made from the crushed seeds of the canola plant." WRONG! No such thing as a Canola plant!!! Made from Rape seeds!!! The Canadians invented the word Canola 'cos who the f*** would buy RAPE seed oil... Big food industry bullish!t. Stick to food... butter, lard, ghee, coconut oil. Yum. Not industrial waste. But as an ingredient for biodiesel, Canola oil is pretty good.
