I’m about to leave South Africa after a great week. Apart from just enjoying this fantastic place we (me, Monique Forslund and professor Tim Noakes) did three lectures on LCHF, and one debate, at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa and at the University of Cape Town Medical School.
It really feels like professor Noakes has started a LCHF revolution in South Africa that might one day catch up to the one in Scandinavia. A lot of smart people – like doctors, students and health coaches – are starting to fully get it. It feels like it did in Sweden a couple of years ago (we’ve gotten even further now).
I’ll end by quoting a tweet from professor Noakes from after the last event – that went two hours over because of all the questions – at UCT:
“Fat power”. I like it.

So glad you have enjoyed being in our wonderful country and especially here in Cape Town.
Devastated not to have got seats for the debate and then saw the notices about the UCT lectures too late
I am 69 years young; is it too late for me to change to HFLC? Where to start? Think I would make a great guinea pig!!!
LOL

And I say what others often say.. how god is that diet you eating now?
Its not more fat.. its about change carb calories for fat calories.. of course it could be more fat.. but not a lot of fat!
Its about having fat high as your energy demands, in the begining, no more and no less,, after an adaption fase, let your apetite regulate how much energy you need.
And what do you know.. they have come up with a lot of studies on ketogenic diet on other things then weightloss.. and they have a lot of problem to get those person to stay at there weight.. they get more satsifyed for less energy becuse the body take some enegy from the adiopote tissuie.
Its not an other magic diet, its about to stop blood sugar rollcoaster.. if one have problems with that.
LOL at your comment!
