bonkers

hi guys Appologies if this' been asked befor. As I have embraced the lchf way, i have become quite label savvy. Horrified I was the other day to see MSG and wheatflour, corn starch etc etc was acutually added to my favourite biltong and droeë wors. Where can I get something with less crap in it. Trying to keep it as clean as possible, in terms of preservatives and other junk. Then I would also,like to know where to get good quality grass fed meat, as the usual suoermarkets dont indicate if i isngrain fed or grass fed. Basically looking for a reputable butcher. I live in the western cape, northern suburbs.

hi missed the cut off for entries to this year's karoo to coast cycle event. anybody with an entry for me, please inbox me

I want to do the epic next year, am a novice, with very moderate fitness level. i want to be a competetive rider. Whats the recomended training program? There are so many, i need advice please!

hi guyp Maybe a a bit off the topic, i ride on water only if it's around 3h or less, but for the longer rides i do a mixture of juice and water. my dillema however, I use a camelback for longer rides, and lately there is a smell/taste like someone emtied a can of doom in it. I use the approved product to clean it and it is not even 2 months old, so replacing it every 2 months is not very cost effective. i have since tried bicarbonate of soda, lemon juice and vinegar on seperate occasions, still no joy. Any advice? It seriously smells/taste awefull and i am sure it cannot be good for you. I also have the brushes to clean out the bag and piping and it is most defenitely not mouldy nor is there any residue. Its like Doom i tell you!

Sorry this has propbably been asked before, where can I get ucan in the western cape?

I must say, I love my morning cuppa, but I started slow and low with my bulletproof coffee. I find that the coconut oil gives it a lovely taste, even allowed me to get rid of my 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, I never would have dreamed! I don't do artificial sweetners, tates yuck and I am sure they cannot be any good for you. I now do cream, coconut oil and milk, if I don't have double cream, I do butter and standard cream. It sort of grows on you. I've found that if I do a bulletproof in the morning I don't really feel like having breakfast. What is the esteemed hubber's opinion about sucralose and xylitol vs other sweetners. There is a lot of hype about it being more 'natural' than the sweetners. Tastes like crap, but I do have to confess, I sometimes have a sugar monster in my tummy and I opt for sucralose rather than sugar, esp with yoghurt. I know I know, rather stay away from it than use it. Are we going to end up in a situation like butter vs margerine, where we will find the real thing is way better than the processed. So 1/2 a teaspoon of sugar or 1/4 teaspoon of sucralose?

Ok so question, appologies if it has been asked before, so I am doing this lchf thing for a couple of weeks, main reason, feeling crap on sugar/starch foods and want to loose some weight. I have seen people in the past have complained about not loosing weight with I think Dale mentioning that the calorie contents of for instance macademias is quite high, ie calorie dense food. Now I have the following problem, I have found that this week that I am hungry, not constantly, but definitely more than in the begining. I am exercising and its going well, get the odd bonk, but seems to be able to get over it. Now as I understand this thing, principle, eat when you are hungry. My carb intake is less than 50g day, but I am concerned with the extra amount of food I have eaten lately, since most of it is quite calorie dense. Will that inhibit my weight loss? Can I continue to eat when hungry? Carb content still under 50g with the extra food, as I am mostly sticking to fatty stuff, like extra bulletproof coffee etc etc.

Will definitely do!

You have to be kidding me!!

Wow what interesting stuff! I am new to this, but this all makes so much sense! So how to educate dietician on this? Pitty my pockets not as deep as Kellogs!
