Banting Food List

Green
Green is an all-you-can-eat list - you choose anything you like without worrying about the carbohydrate content as all the foods will be between 0 to 5g/100g.
It will be almost impossible to overdo your carbohydrate intake by sticking to this group of foods. Overeating protein is not recommended, so eat a moderate amount of animal protein at each meal. Include as much fat as you are comfortable with - bearing in mind that Banting is high in fat. Caution: even though these are all-you-can-eat foods, only eat when hungry, stop when full and do not overeat. The size and thickness of your palm without fingers is a good measure for a serving of animal protein.

Banting or Low Carb High Healthy Fat (LCHF)  - Tim Noakes has popularised the term "Banting" as a synonym for the low carb high healthy fat (LCHF) way of eating. Named after London undertaker William Banting from the 1860's. Banting famously published his Letter on Corpulence , which documented his struggle with his weight, and more importantly, his recovery and weight loss using a low carb strategy. In his letter he claimed - starch and saccharine matter, tend to create fat, and should be avoided altogether.....that any starchy or saccharine matter tends to the disease of corpulence in advanced life.......all things tending to these ele­ments should be avoided, of course always under sound medical authority.
