The Banting Lockdown




Many have requested that we have a challenge during this time - to bant during our lockdown. Below you will find a meal plan that will last you beyond the 21 days which includes a shopping list and general tips on banting during this pandemic.

It is however important to note that you should be a little less harsh on yourself during this time. If you can't stick to plan, if you need to deviate due to supplies - don't stress. Stress not only compromises your immune system, it can also stall weight loss.

Our ONLY goal with this is to be united - and Bant. Use the groceries you have and use the below as a guideline. 

If you are feeling unwell, please phone your doctor or healthcare provider.
