Hello to all the diabetics out there I am sharing my husband’s story The Original Banters online shop was founded by Joe Redelinghuys, a diabetic who found the low carb medium to high-fat diet beneficial for himself and with this online shop would like to help Banters to easy access of Banting products.
We support the eat better South Africa initiative fully.
Original Banters has a temporary Trademark.
The following products:
1. Original Banters Pro Curry Spice Bag
2. Original Banters Banting Crumbs/Coating
3. Original Banters Biltong Spice Mixes
4. Original Banters 100% Boerewors Spice Mix
5. Original Banters Chili Garlic Salt
Are all developed by Original Banters with no added preservatives?Joe Redelinghuys, now turning blind in his fifties is saddened by the fact that he could have controlled a lot of the damage caused by his Diabetes and had he known the secret to the Banting Diet as provided by Tim Noakes he could still have the majority of his sight today.
Early in 2016 Joe decided to embark on understanding what products, spices, meat, dairy products, cheese, oils and snacks he can use to try and control his own diabetes and through this learning he has built “The Original Banters” to help others learn that Banting may help them in more than one way.
Enjoy your stay and know that we will deliver and are here for any advice you may have on the Banting Diet and products needed to make your Banting Diet a success.
