LCHF - Low Carb High Fat Diet Ver 2

[Helpmytrap]

Enjoy - I love the stuff. I have started adding cabbage to some of my dishes, couldn't stand the stuff before, but in a nice mix with enough butter I found it to be surprisingly nice. I buy those little baby cabbages, cut them in half and then layer garlic, cheese and bacon on top of the open side, put that in the oven for about an hour on low heat and you have something that beats a filled mushroom!

I enjoyed it so much that I ate the entire 300g pack.

Talk about filling!

Then start your own tread. Will read and see what I can. And just for interest sake. I dropped the LCHF diet for two weeks. Gained 4 kg of weight.

 

Unbelievable! I hope you reported that post.

I have found a South-African low-carb Facebook page:

In this talk Cardiologist Dr William Davis explains the biochemistry of modern Wheat and what those different compounds are doing to our bodies.

 

Modern Wheat is not the same as the Wheat from the Bible folks, it’s not even the same Wheat that your grandparents ate!! The vast majority of today’s crop is a hybridised and modified variety that grows only 1 foot tall and have up to 10 times the yield of the pre sixties Wheat.

 

So that part sounds benign, and in fact good. Unfortunately its compounds include a laundry list of compounds which can cause appetite stimulation and food cravings, auto-immune reactions and a whole lot of other side effects, plus it’s almost guaranteed to increase your subcutaneous fat around your belly. And that fat is just the tip of the iceberg, since the likelihood is that by the time your tummy starts rolling ever outwards, you’ve probably accumulated some internal (visceral) fat around your organs too....

Scary stuff, hey ? Chatting last night to a doctor friend of mine and I was again astounded by how deep Big Pharma's pockets are and how they reward healthcare practitioners for the number of prescriptions of certain meds that they fill. They really have the whole thing sown up from end to end - they get sponsorship from Coke to make you sick and then they sponsor the doctors to use their meds to treat you (note I did not say make you healthy !)...

Dinner for tonight (and the next few nights) going into the oven now... Roast leg of pork, rubbed in with Shiraz salt and Nomu One for All spice, dribbled with some apple cider vinegar and parked on a bed of onions. Various other veggies to be added later. Slow cooked at 140 deg for the next 3- 4 hours. Nom Nom...

I'm still amazed sometimes how easy it has become to forget to eat!

 

When I used to be on a high carb (aka normal) diet I couldn't wait until the next meal/snack. But on LCHF, you sometimes have to remember that you have to eat

Indeed, and because I don't eat during the day I can focus all my energy on preparing really scrumptious meals at night

Nah, seriously, my evening meals are actually usually quick and simple, this pork roast is a little OTT, but hey, ya gotta live a little !

Dunno. I missed it too

 

And me...!!

Yeh - me, I add butter, caraway seeds and a little water to a frying pan, cut them in half, put them in cut side up, drizzle some avo/olive oil over the cut sides then saute/steam them for a few mins. If you can avoid losing attention and burning/boiling them to death, they are delicious....

Just had two poached eggs, somme did them in the Microwave. I have a massive egg craving the last couple of days!
