A lot of people are always asking me whats is Banting?
Banting is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LCHF) way of eating that focuses on weight loss, blood sugar control, and overall health by significantly reducing carb intake and increasing healthy fats. It’s named after William Banting, a 19th-century English undertaker who became famous for losing weight by cutting out bread, sugar, potatoes, and beer basically, carbs.
Core principles of Banting:
• Cut out sugar and starches (like bread, rice, pasta, and sugary drinks).
• Eat real food—natural, unprocessed meals.
• Increase healthy fats like avocado, butter, olive oil, and fatty cuts of meat.
• Moderate protein intake—enough to sustain, but not excess.
• Reduce snacking, as eating good fats keeps you fuller longer.
What you can eat:
✅ Meat, chicken, eggs, fish
✅ Non-starchy vegetables (cauliflower, spinach, broccoli)
✅ Full-cream dairy (cheese, cream, plain Greek yogurt)
✅ Healthy fats and oils (coconut oil, olive oil, holsum, butter)
✅ Nuts and seeds (in moderation)
What to avoid:
❌ Sugar, fizzy drinks, fruit juices
❌ Bread, pasta, rice, and cereals
❌ Processed food and vegetable oils
❌ Most fruits (too much sugar)
❌ Artificial sweeteners and low-fat products
Why people choose Banting:
• Weight loss without constant hunger
• Better energy and focus
• Improved blood sugar and cholesterol
• Less bloating and inflammation
