If you’re thinking of going on the Banting diet then this 7 day Banting meal plan is just what you need.
It provides you with a guide as to the type of low-carb meals & food anyone who is Banting can eat for each meal for a whole week.
Not only are these low-carb, high fat meals Banting diet friendly, they are also gluten free which makes them even more healthy for you.
This 7-day Banting meal plan is very similar to the Paleo way of eating which is essentially a low-carb, high fat diet that is also a strictly gluten free diet, however unlike the Tim Noakes & Banting diet it excludes all forms of diary.
