Natalie Lawson is a trusted voice in Mzansi’s real food revolution and an established author on all things keto, Banting, low-carb, and intermittent fasting, always with a focus on what’s practical, doable, and straight-up delicious. She's one of the powerhouse legends behind the Banting 7 Day Meal Plans Facebook group, where over 2.3 million South Africans (and counting) are taking back their health, one real meal at a time. Natalie’s journey into real food wasn’t just about weight loss, it started with a mission to help her autistic son through better nutrition: less sugar, more sanity. That mission turned into a passion, and before long she’d racked up multiple nutrition diplomas, a kitchen full of grain-free experiments, and a once non-verbal kid who now talks the hind leg off a donkey. She’s no scientist or celebrity chef — just a no-nonsense mom with a "beautifully blended bunch" of five kids, one grandson, and a fridge that’s always empty by Wednesday. Married since 2007, she knows how hectic life gets — which is why her food philosophy is simple: make it quick, make it work, make it kak-lekker! From moeg to magic, her lived experience, relentless self-testing, and no-BS approach to nutrition have helped spark a movement that’s shed millions of kilos and brought energy, confidence, and community back into Mzansi’s kitchens. Here at HEBA®, she brings that same fire — no jargon, no guilt — just affordable grain-free goodness that works for real people, in the real world.
