What were your thoughts that convinced you to go the banting way?  

welcome to the club :D i dont do banting thou but i do follow a low carb high fat eating style and babooooom it works like a dream 

Apparently 50% of the South African population are prediabetic...that's a huge amount of people walking around who are potentially insulin resistant. A simple blood test could confirm this for you....The LCHF (Low Carb High Fat) lifestyle which is also coined as "banting" in South Africa, is perfect in that the foods are non inflammatory and therefore in time insulin sensitivity is improved. Intermittent fasting has many similar benefits in that carbohydrate intake (and calories) are drastically reduced by "default" on a "fast"day thereby reducing inflammation and resulting in lovely weight loss. Many people who have an "addictive" type personality with food find that this changes quite dramatically with fasting and changes your perception to hunger and the way you view food. In my opinion they are both very effective (and extremely healthy)I wouldn't advise doing jointly until you have mastered one with ease for at least 12 months. Whatever you decide I wish you the best of luck!

Best of luck with that, if I can't do it myself then I can only encourage someone else...LOVE my bread I just can't.. :( 

Big Boy Optimus , I was tired off not seeing results so decide to do Reboot and it progressed more into the Banting. Thanx Ibiza 122!
