Hi Nancy

I presume you’re referring to Red Bush tea, also known as RooiBos, which is fine as long as you don’t take it with sugar.

You can add full cream milk as well if you like.

Absolutely Nokuthula, better still if it’s from grass fed beef.

can I eat biltong for a snack.

Hi Lerato

Personally I only drink 2 cups of coffee a day, but according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, it’s safe for most women to drink three to five cups of coffee a day – max of 400 milligrams of caffeine – an average cup of coffee contains approx 95 mg.

Also remember that coffee is a diuretic & can leave you dehydrated so drink lots of water too.

On Banting full cream milk is perfect & even better if it’s organic but not so good for you if you’re lactose intolerant.

For a professional opinion please consult your dietician or doctor.

All the best

Hi Masabata

High blood pressure or hypertension is often linked to obesity or weight issues which a low carb diet, such as Banting or Keto, should counter, however you are advised to consult with your medical practitioner as changing your diet could have an adverse effect.

For instance the low carb Keto diet may lower your blood pressure too quickly which could cause other issues especially if you’re on medication for your blood pressure.

Once you’ve consulted with your doctor I’m sure you’ll soon be on a healthy low carb diet which will normalise your blood pressure & make you feel healthier.

All the best

PS. I’m not a doctor & this info is just my opinion and what I’ve researched.
