The Banting diet food list provides you with 3 comprehensive lists of Banting foods that we can & cannot eat for improved health & weight management.
The Banting Green list of foods is the one most people are interested in as these are the foods that you can basically eat as much as you like of or until you’re full without the risk of weight gain.
To make it easier to distinguish between good, bad & moderately good foods, the Banting diet food list has been divided up into 3 distinct food lists.
The Banting Diet Food List Includes the Green, Orange & Red Lists
- Banting Green List
All the food types that you can basically eat until you’re satisfied with little danger of weight gain.
- Banting Orange List
Foods that are neither especially good for you nor particularly bad for you. In other words they are borderline Banting friendly so they can be eaten in moderation but it’s also good to avoid to them. If you have to eat foods on this list you should exercise restraint & restrict the amount you eat.
- Banting Red List
Foods that should be totally avoided. These are foods that are bad for your health & are highly likely to cause weight gain to the point of obesity if your diet is based on them.

In conclusion, if you can discipline yourself to eating only foods on the green list of this Banting diet food list & totally avoiding those on the red list you should be able to eat your meals until you are satisfied without having to restrict your portions.
In other words it’s difficult to overeat if you eat to hunger.
- This is because eating wholesome, non-addictive foods almost always leave you feeling full & satiated without craving more.
- On the other hand eating addictive foods from the red list of the Banting diet list of foods, will hardly ever leave you satisfied & you’ll almost always want more causing weight gain & poor health.
- As far as the orange list goes, eat foods from this list in moderation & be aware that you may have to restrict yourself from eating too much of these food types.
