  • Tim Noakes Wants You To Do This Easy Test To Prove He Is Right

    • "Elementary Errors" - Tim Noakes Torn Apart Following Radio Interview

    Good old Tim Noakes, the guy hates grabbing headlines for making outrageous statements.

    Take for example yesterday’s claims made during a talk on challenging carbohydrate beliefs at the Cape Town Science Centre, which have once again landed him on the front page of local news sites.

    Noakes claims that we should really only eat every 12 to 24 hours, and if you eat more often than that you’re eating addictively. News24 below:

    “Humans used to eat once a day in the 1500s, then the British came along and made us eat everything three times a day.

    “The biology of the human body is that you’re designed to eat one and a half meals a day. You can only do it if you’re not addicted to the foods [you are eating].”

    Testing if you’re a food addict (gasp) is pretty easy – here’s what you do tomorrow:

    “Tomorrow morning, have your cornflakes. You will see that you will have to eat at 11:00. Write it down – you will be hungry at 13:00 and at 15:00.

    “The next day, eat bacon and sausage until you can’t eat anymore. Then you will notice at 11:00 you’re not hungry. At 17:00 you will start feeling a little hunger. That will show you that fat and protein inhibit your hunger. They satiate you whereas carbohydrates drive hunger.”

    He advised parents to feed their children at home by cooking for them.

    “Don’t get them to eat at school. You want them to eat a big breakfast and come home at 15:00 where you give them more of your food.

    “If you give them carbohydrates for breakfast, like cornflakes, at 11:00 they will have their Coca Cola or something which is highly unhealthy, and they will eat again. They will eat all the foods they don’t need because that’s what the tuckshop provides.

    “You don’t want the children to eat off your premises.”

    So a massive fry up for breakfast where I eat until I can’t eat anything more? Sign me up, although I’m willing to bet I’ll still feel peckish before 5PM.

    Then there’s that bit about telling you what to feed your children, which hasn’t worked out so well for Tim in the past:

    The Health Professions Council of SA is currently conducting an inquiry into his conduct after being accused of giving unconventional and unscientific advice, and of unprofessional conduct for dispensing the advice via social media…

    The complaint was prompted by a tweet Noakes sent to a Pippa Leenstra after she asked him for advice on feeding babies and on breastfeeding.

    Who fancies taking the Tim Noakes test and reporting back on whether they’re a food addict? I think I’ll sit this round out, just the massive bacon and sausage brekkie for now.
