LowCarbDirect.net Issue 03

Editor's Note
Late 2014 when I first heard of something called banting, I was completely
clueless regarding nutrition. I was confident in us eating quite
healthy – I mean whole-wheat breads, brown rice and pastas, homecooked
meals, low fat dairy, margarine and seed oils. Not too much fast
food or soda drinks –better than most households I would say!
But then people started talking about a man called Tim Noakes – some professor
in sport science from Cape Town – and his very controversial advice
on eating fat. At first I didn’t take much notice; nutrition surely wasn’t one
of my fields of interest, although I was morbidly obese for most part of my
life. I inherited my grandmother’s genes. I was named after her – looked like
her! It’s my fate and I accepted it long since.
But something triggered my inquisitive nature. What if what Tim Noakes is
proclaiming is true? What if conventional advice is wrong? What if…?
Nearly 2 years passed since then. Three of us are now close to 100 kg lighter.
Most of my extended family are now all convicted low carbers. Friends and
strangers alike want to know: How?
Prof Tim Noakes: You contributed to the biggest accomplishment I could
ever dream for. Thank you for not turning a blind eye when you stumbled
on the truth, regardless of the ridicule and persecution you knew would
follow.
Your legacy is changing nations – your dream is coming true.
