An impressive body of scientific evidence over the last 15 years documents long term benefits of carbohydrate-restricted, especially ketogenic, diets. We now understand molecular mechanisms and why they work. Popular books and articles now challenge the advice ‘carbohydrates are good and fats are bad.’ Circa mid-19th century urinary ketones were identified in diabetics sealing their toxic label for the next 150 years. Despite work four decades ago showing ketones were highly functional metabolites, they are still misidentified as toxic byproducts of fat metabolism. The vilification of fat by regulatory and popular dogma perpetuates this myth. But the nutrition-metabolic landscape is improving dramatically.
A growing number of researchers have contributed to what is now a critical mass of science that provides compelling clinical evidence that ketogenic diets uniquely benefit weight loss, pre-diabetes, and type-2 diabetes. In the last five years, basic scientists have discovered that b-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), the primary circulating ketone, is a potent signaling molecule that decreases inflammation and oxidative stress. BHB has been suggested to be a longevity metabolite, with strong support from recently published mouse studies showing decreased midlife mortality and extended longevity and healthspan. Although type-2 diabetes is often described as a chronic progressive disease, emerging evidence indicates that sustained nutritional ketosis can reverses the disease. There is growing interest in studying potential therapeutic effects of ketosis on cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. There are even reasons certain athletes may benefit from nutritional ketosis and ketone supplements ─ debunking the long-standing dogma that high carbohydrate intake is required to perform optimally.
With the support of the well-established Ohio State Food Innovation Center, this conference will bring together the top experts in these fields to share what has been achieved and what remains to be done to advance this exciting field of scientific discovery.

Dr. Tim is an example to us all. It's okay to be wrong, admit it and change. It will only raise your credibility and integrity.

Dr. Noakes is one of my heroes.

[@corwynwarwaruk2141]

I have a huge amount of respect for Dr Noakes.
My take away... train your metabolism!

[@sagarsingh2816]

Believe me boi it's doesn't matter how'z ur metebolism is when ur on a right nutrition

[@sabretoothed99]

Great talk

What Jurgen Klopp the coach eats is not what Liverpool players eat....far from it.
They carb-load like any other professional football team. It's just very precise and taken at the right time. They are definitely not on a low-carb diet !!!

Hi, can anyone tell me what would be the effect of carbohydrate overloading [actually switching completely to a zero fat high cho diet for a brief period of weeks for a person who's body was adapted to hight fat diet and fat oxidation and is poor at carb oxidation? When in rest, it's plausible that the metabolic rate would be low and the exogenous excess glucpse is converted to fat more readily [as it's the preferred oxidation method for the high fat diet body] in comparison to someone who's body is more trained to oxidize carbs more readily ? In other words, is eating a high carb meal with low fat force the high fat diet trained body to more readily store that calorie surplus compared to high carb body

first of all, you need to eat fatty acids to live, so a zero fat diet would equal death.
second, with a high fat/low carb diet your body regulates glucose in your systems better because your body doesn't need so much insulin for the onslaught of carbohydrates from a high carb diet. some people say they can feel really sick due to the unhealthiness of the carbohydrates, and if they're a diabetic, that can cause it's own issues.
for most people, it seems to just knock them out of ketosis for awhile. the human body can make as much glucose as it needs. if there's extra, it just makes more insulin like on any other diet. theoretically with less insulin than a high carb diet due to the increased insulin sensitivity of most carb restricted diets.
i hope that answers your question.

Kloppo!

[@banjobandasan3725]

We forgive you Doc! 😅

Study something other than ultra endurance athletes.... when someone wins the Tour de France on keto I will listen.
