A DIETS SUCCESS IS ALL IN ITS PROOF

ARE YOU ONE OF THESE?
On Facebook you can join the Banting community and see what thousands have accomplished.

In the beginning I was quite skeptical because as we all know in a few years from now we will hear what the negative effects are on the body of a high protein diet. After all, I cannot but admire the thousands that have been brave enough to endure and reap the rewards of losing that extra weight they have been carrying around for years.

THE FATHER OF BANTING:

The diet has been named after William Banting a British undertaker who was the first person to follow this eating plan by a Harley Street surgeon in 1861, he experienced astonishing success.

Dr Robert Atkins re-discovered “Banting” in 1972, he also made a killing in the multibillion dollar weight loss industry with his “Atkins” diet. Professor Tim Noakes is the master mind behind the book The “Real Meal Revolution” which hyped the popularity of this diet.

WHAT IS BANTING DIET:

The Banting is a low-carbohydrate but high in fat diet. It is also gluten free which is highly important especially for those that are sensitive or allergic to gluten.

*The diet is all about a high in fat, medium protein and low carb way of eating.
*NO sugar not even artificial, none to very little fruit.
*No grains.
*Get ready to eat lots of eggs as they are very filling and healthy.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

• YOU CAN WITH ENDURANCE SHRINK TO HALF YOUR SIZE.
• Cutting carbs can have a great impact on your blood sugar which can improve and prevent diabetes symptoms.
• You have a higher intake of healthy oils by using nuts, fish, coconut oil and avocados. These foods assist in the drop of triglycerides and a rise in healthy cholesterol which lowers the risk of heart disease.
• No more bloating.

THE NEGATIVES ARE:

*YOU WILL NEED A NEW WARDROBE
*You might suffer from constipation because of the lower intake of fiber (drink more water and eat berries to prevent this).
*Low carbohydrate diets can hike your LDL cholesterol.
*Limited food choices.
*It is a little heavier on your pocket (post more articles and this problem will be sorted).
*Long term effects of this diet are unknown.
*Many in the health industry frown upon such a high protein diet and its long term effect on certain internal organs.
