Hi Denise

Firstly I’m not a registered dietician or medico, so it’s probably best to get a qualified opinion from your doctor or nutritionist.

However, it does seem that a low-carb, sugar free diet does benefit diabetics, sometimes to the extent that they even come off their meds completely, as experienced by Tim Noakes.

Furthermore, a LCHF diet high in meat, like Banting, Keto & Paleo, should improve iron levels – but it would still be advisable to get a second opinion.

Hi Nomsa

Strictly speaking if you’re going to have a glass of red wine in the evenings you should cut some carbs from your daily intake from somewhere else – this is especially true if you’re diabetic, insulin resistant or really trying to lose weight.

However, if you’re managing your weight successfully & sticking to a low-carb diet it shouldn’t make much difference to you if you have a glass of red wine every day.

If you’re still unsure it’s probably best to consult a dietician to put your mind at rest.

Also, red wine is way better than beer or other alcohol.

Hope this helps…

All the best

Hi Lungiswa

Try this Banting muesli as an egg free breakfast.

Another idea is fried mushrooms on toast made from low-carb bread.

Hope this helps

Hi Nthabiseng

A good place to start would be to use this 7 day Banting meal plan – stick to it & hopefully you’ll see some weight loss results & start to feel good.

All the best
