Prof Noakes! I am a registered dietitian in the US who was a little overweight and pre-diabetic despite being a runner and eating "healthy." Had to cut the grains/legumes/sugars/potatoes due to autoimmune issues and BOOM! - lost weight and feel great. I started running at age 37 and was not good or fast, couldn't breathe well but loved it. Now I can run 10 miles without walking to catch my breath and have taken 2 minutes off of my mile time. I love running on fat! Thanks for your work.

Thank you Dr Noakes. I actually saw myself in all you said. After watching this video I marched to my kitchen cupboard ,got out that 5kg sugar and fed the toilet!!! Thanks thanks thanks!!!

Absolute gem of a man.

This man is an honest, gentle, brave, humanitarian.

Wow incredible content for 2013. Now in 2019, there is more evidence supporting all his points and the surge of change based on this information continues to gain momentum.

This video saved my life (600lbs)

I permanently changed to the Ketogenic diet 4 months ago and have lost 20 lbs of fat and 4 1/2 inches off my belly (have picture proof), no longer need my Rheumatoid Arthritis medication, after 3 twelve hour shift days in steel toe boots on concrete floors, my feet are repaired after one night of sleep, and as of lately, sometimes my feet are not even sore after 16 miles a shift. I am never hungry, I am less irritable, more energy, my clarity of thought and even the passage of time seems to have changed much to my benefit. I don't have to get up and go to the bathroom every 2 hours at night, I sleep like a rock, wake up refreshed, my teeth are whiter, bumps bruises and cuts heal in days instead of weeks, hemorrhoids are gone. My first son has seen the results and has also decided to convert. I have watched so many hours of lectures from doctors and authors and other Keto adapted people on You Tube, I was convinced before I started this would be a success. I also wanted to prove to my family it was purely the diet, so I made sure not to increase my activity level on my days off. I went cold turkey on the crabs, I figured, since they are an unnecessary nutrient, why not. I was surprised how addicted to carbs I really was ... the first day or two my mind was in a fog, like I was in a dream state. I almost caved in by the second day, but I was determined. Then the next few days was weird too, it was like I had a flu or cold, but only the symptom of having to blow my nose constantly, no cough, congestion or sore throat. I found out this was my body purging out toxins. After that initial hurdle life has been getting better by the day, I am still holding off on the exercise, although I have more energy that I know what to do with. I want to see how much I can actually lose first on the diet alone, and so far it has been going at a steady rate of 1.4 lbs per week and have went 3 holes down on my belt, going to need new pants soon. So be patient, it might take time to adapt, but it has been well worth it, and I would never go back.

The Australian Heart Foundation has just released new guidelines including egg increases, butter, cheese are back in but did not go quite far enough as they suggest red meat only 3 times a week and still pushing the whole grains barrow, small steps are better than denial.

35:32 The change in American farming engineered by, among other things, the Farm Bill did not actually make farmers wealthy. What happened was an increase in the trend away from predominantly family farms (NOT hobby farms, but working farms owned and run by the families who lived on their land) to larger farms, as Noakes states, that were increasingly dependent on fossil fuels and synthetic chemicals. The $ went to the suppliers of the agricultural chemicals - the chemical fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides. Also, commodity traders dealing in corn, soy, and other grains. Prior to WWII, well-run family farms in America functioned more like ecosystems, with animals and crops being rotated to different fields, breaking parasite and pathogen cycles while providing natural fertility and feeding soil health. Jerry Brunetti wrote about this in his book 'Farm as Ecosystem'. There were many other factors behind the exodus of people from the countryside to the cities and suburbs, including the push in schools to direct young people with any level of academic ability away from an interest in agriculture. Farmers, who formerly had been respected - like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and George Washington - were denigrated as being 'backward' and less sophisticated than city dwellers. This social engineering was, I hope, done with good intentions, as it is easier to shift a factory-based workforce to support a war effort than a farm-based work force. But war is profitable for some... and the move away from the family farm also served to aid the concentration of wealth into fewer and fewer hands.

Really wish they'd showed all of the slides :/

Brilliant this man is a Genius Listen and do!!!

I lost in one year 30 kilos and my diabetic ...thank you very much low carb high fat !!!

Thank you so much. Wonderful. I can feel this resonating with my body's needs 100%. Thank you!!

Thank you Dr Noakes! What you said made absolute sense to me, and your eating lifestyle is working wonderfully well for me! So many benefits after only 2 months of "banting", but the best one is the magic-like reduction (I don't know how else to describe it!) of my rather large stomach - which I always believed was hereditary!

The organs of animals are among the most nutritious parts of the animal. Until very recently, the liver, kidneys, tongue, heart, brains, blood, sweatbreads, etc were commonly eaten in European countries, and by those whose ancestors came from Europe. But- grassfed and ~finished~ animals should have fat marbled throughout the meat.Ducks and geese are also good sources of meat with a high proportion of healthy fat. Again, look for animals raised on pasture. Geese can be 100% grassfed in the pasture season. These animals and their fat have played important roles in the traditional cuisine of several cultures, and still do.

Very interesting and not least a delicious sense of humour ! Hope it is not so difficult to apply for those of us who unfortunately are "carbohydrate resistant"

Please continue to educate! !

Over three stone down. Love keto!

Thank you teacher

59:55 The Indians of the American plains successfully hunted buffalo before the arrival of the Spanish, using a variety of techniques. Ambush in the tall grasses (the tallgrass prairie had grasses as tall as 6'+), stalking often with wolf skins as cover, and running whole herds over bluffs along rivers were among the techniques used.

We hope Tim Noakes will be invited to give his lecture with our nutritionist in the Philippines.

It would be useful to be able to view the slides.

I would love to see the slights while Dr. Noakes was talking. He was talking about some pictures we cannot see. 😑

A Legend.

The look @1:55....priceless!

If cancer loves carbs as you say then how do you explain the older rural Chinese that are a diet of almost all carbs and have levels of cancer 1/50 of the western countries.

Great lecture pity the cameraman was not very good. He/she didn't show many of the slides, Professor Noakes was referring to Maybe he/she didn't agree with the evidence Professor Noakes was presenting?

Keep going Dr. Noakes ... people are paying attention to the Carb issue ... esp. ever since the Cholesterol theory is debunked ... and inflammation diseases just keep getting worst ... almost exponentially .. could this be "Epigenetics at work"? 70 Going On 100

One large problem is that even those with metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes still believe the energy balance model to be an explanation. It is essentially an appeal to authority or the establishment. I had a long debate with a guy on the USDA diet debate video. Long story short, he concluded that the reason he got fat was because of diet (regardless of exercise) while I remained thin because of exercise (regardless of diet). I pointed out that he was trying to have it both ways; that the energy balance model doesn't explain either case, particularly when considered alongside one another. The debate ended there. I don't know whether he changed his mind. I hope so.

Hallelujah!

I've been on KETO diet since October 2013. I had a reading of over 300 mg/dl or over 7.8mmol/l of cholesterol in 2017, age 69, yet low triglycerides. My doctor was freaking out although I had just been working outside for 3 to 4 hours when the temperature was above 33 C. I reduced my cholesterol by almost 100 mg/dl in about 4 to 5 weeks. Interesting enough, I got injured twice in the following six months.

Great talk. 1. I just wish less emphasis on fatties and more on skinnies. 2. Surely under productive pancreas is a bigger factor on this topic. Why not mentioning it more 3. Hard to digest his point that actually we don't need veggies 🤔 4. Too much fat can overwork liver/galbladder?

The elephant in the room. Is what kind of fat? Imagine the inflammation causing Artificial vegetable oil not made from vegetables with poly unsaturated killers.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there are so many facts that back up a low carb diet . These other diets don’t have facts for long term success or health.

But what about the Australian Paradox??

Would non-elite athletes benefit from this kind of diet? Like, your garden variety, 46 year old mom? Hormonal issues, potentially autoimmune issues.

Lots of good info but on 38 mins he said ppl were eating brain ect 2.7 million years ago, no evidence that humans are about anywhere near this length, never mind knowing their eating habits.

He says dehydration is not real? Huh?

Mmmmm Apple Pie 🥧

Why is he calling this the Noakes Diet? He got into this in 1979 but Atkins published his diet in 1972. Or is there some difference between the two I am missing?

The protests against dairy products in the human diet mystify me. Lactation is metabolically expensive, but most any animal - carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore - will quickly devour any milk they can get, at any age. Predators tend to eat the udder of any lactating animal first (many of us have heard about cattle supposedly 'dissected' by aliens from space, with udders missing, but mostly or completely untouched otherwise).Humans have almost certainly been consuming milk for much longer than we suspect. In addition to the Masai - people with a 'stoneage' aka Paleo lifestyle until very recently - reindeer herders in the far north, yaks in the Himalayan, sheep, goat, camel and horse milk in various parts of the world - These cultures all have one thing in common: Their herding lifestyle was very close to the nomadic lifestyle of following the herds practiced by early Man (capitalized, this word refers to both genders) for hundreds of thousands of years, if not longer. Following the herds became herding, followed by harvesting wool, milk, and/or blood - all with the advantage of the animal living to provide more of life's essentials.Switzerland, France, and the Netherlands are by many measures, the healthiest countries in the world. The people of these nations all eat more meat than Americans do, and enjoy bountiful diary products - including cream and cheeses.

I thought omega6 is good

Older rural Chinese live on a diet of 90% rice.Very high carbs and almost no eggs or animal products.They live long healthy lives well into their 90s on avg.

What kind of fats can we eat as vegetarians?

I have yet to see a scientific talk by his guy..

Unfortunately, Noakes makes the same error here that Ancel did -- Noakes is just making it with smoking. When you get down and examine the hard data, to highest rates of smoking in the world, there is *NO* correlation to the highest rates of heart-disease. A total lack of correlation would not seem to indicate causation here either! For example, Afghanistan:- one of the highest rates of heart-disease in the world, and one of _the lowest_ incidences of smoking; or France:- moderately high rates of smoking, versus *extremely* low rates of heart-disease; and the same can be said of Japan, at almost twice the smoking-rate of even the French, but still one of the world's lowest rates of heart-disease. Or the Luxembourgians, who rank in the *top 8* of world smoking-rates, but guess what? They have the 4th _lowest_ rate of heart-disease. Like the French they have extremely high rates of saturated fats in their diet, and they drink a lot. Turkmenistan in comparison smokes at less than half the rate of the Japanese, but have _the_ highest rates of heart disease in the world; while the Ukrainians have high rates of both. Et cetera. When you plot the data, there is simply no correlation -- much like the false notion of saturated fats to CHD.

nuts anyone?

The religious speaker repeatedly refers to being 'designed' 2.5 million years ago and seems to recognize a problem with processed 'carbs' but fails to appreciate the differences in whole fruit. As importantly, he fails to recognize meat and dairy are also unhealthy. He completely ignores the fiber topic. Fibrous foods are the most effective for weight loss and to protect against any degenerative disease. He can't even keep a straight face when he tries to compare his metabolic requirements with those of lions, yet I think he actually believes what he is saying... 1:16 "I may not be right but I know the other side is not right". True. But why ignore the raw fruit based diet and narrowly focus on weight loss and the relatively recent addition of meat in the diet?

you should sack this quack, not encourage him.
