had health issues such as
acid reflux and high blood
pressure, so my doctor
put me on a handful of
pills a day. But my blood test results worried me,
and that prompted me to start eating low carb.
It’s improved my health exponentially. I feel better
than ever. And my pants are falling down! I was
astonished, as I really didn’t do this to lose weight.
Starting to eat low carb was easy for me.
Except for cutting down on carbs, on the whole
I usually ate this way anyway. I’d always been told
off about the meat and fat I ate, so I felt such relief- a feeling of ‘Oh, at last!’
It is so important to understand the science
behind the diet as this makes it clear why certain
types of food
are included
and others,
excluded. It helps
you see why
you shouldn’t
cheat. I’ve never
cheated because
I’m never hungry!
There’s been
a lot of backlash
from people
who have been
unsuccessful
eating low carb,
but you’ll find
so many testimonials from those who have had a
positive experience. The thing to remember is that
you need to be committed. You simply can’t do it in
half measures and expect to see results immediately.
I have always loved cooking, especially
preparing dishes that reflect my traditional
Afrikaans upbringing. This passion has been
bolstered by the low-carb lifestyle. Dishes like
bobotie are simple to prepare, easy to convert
