Lose It! - October 2022

LOSE IT! The LCHF / Banting Way Volume 15 answers all the questions you start asking yourself about banting after you’ve been doing it for a while, like ‘Is it possible to eat too much fat?’ and ‘Will eating carbs before bed help me sleep?’ Plus, we look at the enormous impact a lack of magnesium can have on your health (and weight-loss) and tell you how best to get it into your system. Our medical expert Dr Gerhard Schoonbee explains exactly how your cholesterol will be affected by long-term banting and sets us straight on whether eating fat contributes to that. We also discuss the various benefits of flaxseed. Speaking of seeds, have you heard of activated nuts and seeds? Nutritional therapist Sally-Ann Creed weighs in on the whys and wherefores of the activating process, and also lets you in on how to do it for yourself.
