Let me take a minute to give you a quick intro to the best Banting invention there ever was and ever will be.
Banting Ratios
(which were invented by Rita Fernandes Venter)
Now, how it works, is it takes your weight, height, gender and level of physical activity into account when it works out specific Banting Ratios related to all your personal stats.
It gives you the exact amount of protein, fat and carbs you should/can eat to optimize weight loss, but do so without the use of supplements, or crazy crash dieting. You eat delicious foods, real foods that provide nutrients that are important for you.
This allows you to LOSE the MOST weight in the shortest amount of time - while still banting properly and putting your health first!

The Rules for the Challenge are as follows:
1. To get your ratio, you need to download the CARB WISE APP here for Android devices or here for Apple Devices.
2. After you have filled in all your relevant information into your profile and your weight under the weight tab, you then work out your ratio under the portions tab. Once you have your correct ratio - you come BACK here (so don't forget to bookmark the page) to find out which meal plan suits YOU.
3. Stick to the meal plan as much as possible.
4. Only weigh yourself before and after the challenge.
5. Try to keep it green list. If you add in some orange list items, make sure its within your ratios. Red list is a complete no no.
6. Remember that the ratio is the maximum amount you can have, per day, for weight loss. See it as a "cap" or a "highest amount you can have" rather than a target that must be reached every day. If you still have a fat or protein left, its fine. We just suggest that those doing the 5 Fats, 3 Protein and 1 carb stick to their ratios as much as possible as we don't want anyone under eating!!
7. If your ratio is greater than those pictured above, you could either adapt those from above or double up on the smaller ones making minor adjustments.
8. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post them on Banting 7 Day Meal Plans
