Hi guys I am not sure if you heard about Tim Noakes before , he has a new book out called the real meal revolution , packed full of great recipes .
I started the tim noakes diet "banting diet" four days ago its great , but I do struggle to take in so much fat , I am always under my calorie allowance per day under 1200 calories according to my fitness pall should be 1630

I am on 102g protein 20g carbs and 127g fat
the most difficult is to stay under 20g carbs as even veggies has the carbs aarrgghhhhhhh
A simple cup of Rooibos tea has 12 carbs can you believe it??

Any one else doing this diet and from South Africa?

Seriously Rooibos!! How can that be possible?? Yes, from SA. Doing keto. Let me know about the Rooibos, I drink loads of it!! :sad:

Okay, so the
post re carbs in Rooibos really ruffled me because I drink LOADS of it. I've searched more than a few sites and ALL of them have carbs at 0. Of course, this is black and bitter (no milk or sugar). Also, given that I drink so much of it, my carbs would be in excess of 100g a day if that were true but I'm happily in fat-burning ketosis.
Not attacking you mate, I was just horrified given my almost half-century rooibos habit! Lekker dag! :flowerforyou:

Wow does that tea have sugar in it or something? That's crazy! And veggies are where you want your 20g to come from. Try tracking your net carbs (carbs-fiber-sugar alcohols) instead of overall carbs. That way you can eat enough veggies to get your nutrients and fiber!

Plain roobios is zero carbs, unfortunately a lot of them are flavored which could account for the addition carbs.

Hi guys I was just shocked this is what the myfitnesspal app gives 12 carbs rooibos and 15 for those 3in1 coffee sachets that is why I posted it here.What calculators do you guys use?
