We are very honored to have a South African professor of exercise and sports science researcher and marathon runner Professor Timothy Noakes joining us to share about an interesting paradigm shift that he has been a part of in his home country. Imagine if you will growing up with a love for running and later writing what is widely considered as the Bible for runners in your country. You’ve run in marathons and ultramarathons and even delved deeply into the science behind what you believed about endurance exercise. But then you come across the science supporting high-fat, low-carb diets and all of a sudden everything you thought you knew about nutrition was DEAD WRONG! Well, for Professor Noakes, he doesn’t have to imagine this scenario because this is precisely what happened to him after he read a copy of The New Atkins For A New You!
And although he released his 1991 classic Lore Of Running book with multiple editions ever since, Professor Noakes is now recommending people who buy his book to rip out the section he wrote about diet because he no longer believes it is true. WOW! That’s pretty big stuff and the nation of South Africa is taking notice of what this running legend is saying. A full-fledged low-carb, high-fat revolution is underway like what is happening in Sweden right now and the momentum this way of eating is receiving is raising the eyebrows of the nutritional nannies there. Listen in as we talk about this extraordinary turn of events that has taken place in South Africa.
Listen to Professor Tim Noakes share his high-fat, low-carb epiphany:

ReplyDelete"What's the point in giving advice only applicable to people not on insulin in the T1 forum in a thread by phoenix who is a T1 diabetic taking insulin?"
I could say the same about phoenix's many posts in the T2 forums,and Brennan is not averse to sticking his nose in, people in glass houses!!

I like AMBrennan a future star in the making I think. Now that Kenny boy has called it a day the forum needs people like AMBrennan, he will keep people on their toes.

ReplyDeleteHave you been drinking again Eddie? how many times have I told you pints of Vodka with a Whisky chaser impair your judgement, I think that's the only reason you could possibly "like" that arrogant prat AMBrennan.
Check the responses to Brennan's joparesque comments in the T2 and low carb forums.
