    1. Hi Emma, as soon as you have registered with wordpress by providing your email, you will receive an email from them to confirm your subscription, to which to have to reply by clicking on ‘confirm subscription ‘. Then I will receive an email as well telling me that you are now following the blog, I haven’t received an email, which means your process didn’t work. There seems to be a fault on your side? I get many new ‘followers’ a week, so it’s definitely working.

    1. Emma, jy kry emails as en wanneer ek nuwe resepte publiseer. Ek het weke laas n nuwe resep geplaas. Van die dag wat jy geregistreer het, wat die 9de Oktober was, kry jy emails met die nuwe resepte. Al die ou resepte moet jy opsoek.

    1. Hi Yasmin. I’m by no means an expert and only develop recipes. Its best you join the official Banting Facebook page called: Low carb healthy fat (LCHF Lifestyle). The admin on that page are highly knowledgeable and helpful.

    1. Hi there, I haven’t found that with Dischem brand, but it could be that they changed suppliers? I use very little, only when I test recipes and then I get mine from Woolworths and haven’t had problems with it. The thing with sweeteners is that ideally one should blend them to avoid that aftertaste happening, but it’s tricky to get right. Try the Woolworths xylitol and see how that goes. You can also try Erythritol.

  3. Hi Jeanette, just discovered you. Was looking for a low carb ‘polenta’. Yours passed the husband taste test although he was very skeptical when he came home and smelled cauliflower cooking 🙂 It was great with a beef ragout. I was wondering. Is there a carb point that you keep your recipes below or should I do the math on my own? Thanks so much and looking forward to trying some of your others

    1. Hi Ruth, I’m so glad you enjoyed the ‘polenta’… Unfortunately I don’t calculate the carbs as most people have apps on their phones, and do it for themselves. I just find the recipe developing and food styling quite time consuming as it is. One of the popular apps is ‘Fat secret’ which will calculate the net carbs once the fiber has been subtracted.

  4. Hi there, I had open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve in Nov last year. I do not have a thiroid, I have to take eltroxin everyday and also on wafarin for the rest of my life. Being on waferin means I cannot eat to much vit k, I have gained more than 10 kg since my heart operation in Nov last year. What can I do.

    1. Hi Lynn, I’m so sorry to hear about your health issues, however, I’m not a nutritionist or health practitioner, so giving you advice in your condition would be irresponsible of me. I only develop recipes for people on a low carb /Paleo/keto lifestyle. Maybe you should try and get a coach to walk this journey with you. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help. Best of luck.

  8. Thanks for so many great recipes. I just made the Cheese Buns and they are the best low carb buns I’ve ever tried. I used Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel on top and only had cheddar cheese so used it in place of the mozzarella. Wonderful recipe that we will enjoy.
