All my life, I've always been bigger than those around me. In fact, I began wearing a size 36 during my primary school years, so you can imagine the years of carrying extra unnecessary weight on your body which also wrecks havoc to your sense of self. I became aware of the concept banting or rather low carb high fat eating in 2014. I frantically joined multiple groups that spoke of this new way of eating. I failed to lose the weight and correct my health, mainly due to the reality of an unchanged mindset. I wanted quick fixes and did not focus on commitment and change. This is more reason why the BBBD (Zest for life) has made so...
Can you imagine it by Samantha Vorster Gut health has been grossly misunderstood and underestimated. There is more activity in your gut than neurons firing in your brain! The link between the gut and the brain, which is being studied in-depth and revealing startling insights, is causing medical practitioners to call the gut the “second brain”. As Dr Axe explains, “See, the gut is home to the enteric nervous system. Separate from the central nervous system, the ENS is made up of two thin layers with more than 100 million nerve cells in them — more than the spinal cord. These cells line the gastrointestinal tract, controlling blood flow and secretions to help the GI tract digest food. They also help...
I couldn’t imagine it….can you? ...that eating right was fast, easy and cheap? ...that you don’t have to look at expensive diet-products that caught your attention with false advertising…and you don’t ever have to fall for it…ever again? ...that you don’t have to count calories or weigh your food? ...that you could get rid of all those pain, anti-inflammatory, depression, blood pressure and diabetes meds? ...that you don’t have to prick your finger 4 times a day for glucose readings? ...that the smallest pants size in your cupboard actually got worn at some stage? Only in fairy tales….surely….Could this ever be possible?? YES!!! I know…because my husband and I are doing it! I tipped the scale well over...
Remarkable health is often an elusive quest started by many and truly mastered by few. Modern living, with its chemical dependency, leaves our organic systems grossly lacking in vitality. It is essential to counteract the harmful and toxic effects of our food, polluted air, tainted water and stressful lifestyles. Tools to achieve this are offered daily through mainstream media but it takes time and money to discover those that truly make a difference to our lives. Gut Rescue Probiotic is one of the rare treasures which should be in every home - everywhere. “Pro” means for and “biotic” means living organisms – hence the name Probiotic. Gut Rescue is a naturally fermented, liquid probiotic, containing effective micro-organisms, which...
Start by realising and accepting that banting is not a diet. It is a lifestyle you will follow for the rest of your life. It is a journey to correct your health and weight and by doing that you need to change your habits.Therefore your mind set is MOST important. You must get that 100% right before you even try to change your habits. There is no such thing as falling off the wagon. You cannot blame a family gathering /office party or any socialising for not keeping to your decision. What you put in your mouth is your own choice. Planning is essential – make sure you have what you need for a week (or month) – pre prepare...
