Why Professor Noakes Supported High Carb

By Dietdoctor @DietDoctor1

Professor Tim Noakes has made a huge impact in South Africa, helping tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people to transform their lives - losing weight effortlessly and reversing diabetes - on LCHF diets (or Banting, as it's often called in South Africa).

But Professor Noakes was not always a low-carb supporter. For decades he used to be a major international proponent of high-carb diets, especially for athletes. Then he changed his mind, famously ripping out a segment of his own textbook on the subject.

So why did he support high carb earlier? And why did he change his mind completely? He told it all in his presentation at the LCHF Convention in Cape Town. Watch a part of the presentation above ( transcript).
