The food cupboard is stocked with everything mentionable that we happily chomp on regardless of our weight. We’ve been overweight for a long period of time and the kilos slowly but surely kept increasing. Clothes didn’t fit anymore but we just bought the next bigger size. We tried every diet. From Sure Slim and Weigh-Less right through to the use of Herbex products, costing us a sad amount of money each month – but success? Nope! Lose a few, gain double and more. In the media numerous articles appear about Prof Tim Noakes and the Banting diet. Middle May 2014. Linda’s mother and aunt decide to follow this lifestyle. We thought, just like the many un-informed, that this is just...
Has going low carbohydrate affected my performance. I feel that I need to answer the question focusing on four aspects Have I corrected my weight, health and serum lipids? Has my performance on low carb increased? Has my weight, health and serum lipids been easier to sustain than high carb Could I have performed better had I kept on high carb or could I improve my current performance by going higher carb? While I have participated in various forms of adventure and athletics all my life I previously never paid attention to why I was gaining weight or the effect it was having on my health. I have also never been particularly good at any forms of sport but...
DIE GROOT 'BREKVIS' AFFERE EN MY 'TAKE' OP DIT Vir al my vriendinne met gesondheidsprobleme, skete en ander derglike en onnoembare goeters en natuurlik van ons wie se ‘asses’ ons begin bekruip het na 25 en moenie die kinders vergeet nie. Hierdie storie maak jou gesonder, jonger en baie meer energiek. Niemand betaal my om die ding te skryf nie, so hier is ‘n ‘free for all-use it/don’t use it’-ietsie... Ek het 2 Augustus 2015 begin en go my - hierdie is die ENIGSTE volhoubare leefstyl (want dit is definitief NIE ‘n dieet nie) waarop ek al ooit afgekom het! Met ‘n ‘tweak’ aan jou gewoontevormende eetpatrone, hou jy baie maklik hierby. ‘n Ander dieët wat ek verlede jaar gedoen...
This is my story - I am a cyclist - not a very good one - but I love cycling - as you will see on the first photo my late husband and I cycled on the tandem - I did eight Argus Cycle tours - five on my own bike and three on the tandem with my late husband - then on that critical morning of the 8 th March 2010 on the morning of my late husband 60th 🎉 birthday he went out to Cycle and was killed on his bike with two other cyclists Uncle Jan and Magda just outside Oudtshoorn - by a motorist - At that stage I was a Colonel in SAPS and the...
I would love to regale you with the story of my life but will restrict it to my low carb journey. It’s the 23 of April 2014 and I have just returned from a holiday in Cape Town. This was a time when I still considered myself fit. This was evident from my shaved legs to show that I was an avid cyclist. My weight had blossomed over the preceding two years but it had crept up on me slowly and I must admit that I wasn’t too concerned about it. My gut was starting to protrude quite a bit but not being aware that this was one of the first signs of metabolic syndrome in men I largely ignored...
