Tag: Noakes diet

According to Professor Tim Noakes, excessive carbohydrate intake contributes significantly to insulin resistance and obesity. The core benefits of the Noakes diet, a low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) eating plan, stem from addressing this issue by promoting fat burning for energy and stabilizing insulin levels.

Popularised by Professor Tim Noakes, a South African sports scientist, the LCHF principles at the heart of the Noakes diet gained significant attention after he challenged traditional dietary advice based on his own health journey. The approach emphasizes a drastic reduction in carbohydrates while increasing the intake of healthy fats to change the body's primary fuel source from glucose to fat.
