conversations.value: The Banting Pocket Guide
  It follows, then, that the diets that have come after the Banting diet can reasonably be termed 'fad diets'. And the most faddish diet in history is the one that is the most promoted, the 'heart-healthy, prudent, balanced, in-moderation' diet that was unleashed on an unsuspecting world with the publication of the 1977 USDGA; the very diet that unleashed the tsunami of obesity and diabetes that began in 1980, three years after the publication of those evidence-free and predictably harmful guidelines.
  The 1977 USDGA, which introduced the world to lipophobia – the fear of fat – were in retrospect perhaps the greatest single error in modern medicine. For one simple reason: not only did these guidelines NOT make us 'heart healthier', but by igniting the 1980 obesity/T2DM tsunami, they were also responsible for causing more ill health than perhaps all the pandemics that have swept the globe in recorded human history.
  For we now know that there is no body of convincing evidence to prove that cholesterol – allegedly caused by eating a high-fat diet – causes heart disease, or indeed any other harm to the human body. The 'evidence' for that unproven relationship was advanced by compliant scientists at the behest of industries that stood to gain financially from the global adoption of this false theory.
  We now know that IR, T2DM and metabolic syndrome are the conditions directly linked to heart disease. And ground-breaking new work published in the last year shows that by causing the condition of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in those eating high-carbohydrate diets, the insulin-resistant liver provides the direct pathway by which diet causes heart disease. And it is carbohydrates, not fats, that cause NAFLD and, hence, arterial disease leading to heart disease.
  So by encouraging us all to eat more carbohydrates and to avoid fats, the evidence-free 1977 USDGA produced the T2DM/NAFLD epidemic, the key feature of which is widespread arterial disease through all our vital bodily organs. Destruction of these key arteries in our eyes, brains, hearts, kidneys and limbs, legs especially, leads to blindness, heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure and lower-limb amputations for peripheral gangrene. In short, the guidelines designed to protect our arteries from attack by cholesterol are the direct cause of the worst forms of arterial disease ever experienced by humans in our long history. And this attack is led by continuously raised blood glucose and insulin concentrations in those with IR who, out of ignorance, continue to eat high-carbohydrate diets.

conversations.value: Keep in mind that most commonly used laxatives are gut irritants and will damage the lining of the gut. Remember that we are trying to heal the gut, not damage it further. If your attempts to get your bowels working do not yield results, see your doctor, but preferably one who understands the low-carb lifestyle.
  Nausea may initially be a symptom of keto flu. If you are continuously nauseous on Banting, you may be consuming too much fat. Check your fat intake and don't add extra fat to already fatty foods. Drinking ginger tea may help to alleviate nausea, as ginger is a natural anti-emetic.
  One of the results of cutting carbs is that our bodies start to use fat for energy. This results in ketones being excreted in the breath and urine. The good news is that this does not last indefinitely and usually subsides after a couple of weeks. In the meanwhile, be sure to drink enough water, brush your teeth regularly to freshen up your mouth, and use natural breath fresheners like mint, parsley, cloves, cinnamon and ginger.
  When new to a low-carb diet, a headache may manifest for a number of reasons. The most common cause is a loss of sodium, and this may be quickly rectified by mixing a quarter teaspoon of natural salt in a glass of water and drinking it. Another cause of headaches is dehydration, so make sure you are drinking enough good-quality water.
  Always try to resolve a headache naturally with a bit of rest and a head and neck massage before reaching for medication. Remember, we are trying to clean up our bodies, not add any more chemicals to the mix.

  The Noakes Foundation was founded in 2012 by Prof. Tim Noakes in response to the critical need for robust research into nutrition. The foundation is a non-profit organisation founded for public benefit that aims to advance medical science's understanding of the benefits of a low-carbohydrate, healthy, high-fat (LCHF) diet by providing evidence-based information on optimum nutrition. The foundation's key goal is to change the way South Africa, and hopefully the world, thinks about food and nutrition. The obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics are set to cripple global health care within the next 10 years. Something needs to be done before this happens – The Noakes Foundation is taking action.
  Eat Better South Africa! was established when The Noakes Foundation realised that the poorest communities around South Africa, whose diet consists mainly of maize and maize products, were unaware of the dangers of excessive sugar and carbohydrate consumption. This has resulted in an unprecedented increase in cases of obesity, type 2 diabetes and other metabolic syndromes. In response to this crisis, The Noakes Foundation team established Eat Better South Africa! (EBSA), a community-outreach branch of the foundation. EBSA is a programme aimed at educating people from lower-income areas, teaching them to get better by eating better. Men and women from these communities sign up to a six-week course where they learn about the benefits of a low-carb, healthy high-fat diet and are assisted in making better food choices through nutritional education, meal and budget planning, and general nutritional awareness.
