Johannesburg - Exercise and sport expert Professor Tim Noakes has defended his controversial new stance on a high saturated-fat and low carbohydrate diet, saying there will always be “resistance to change”.
Speaking at a public lecture hosted by the Royal Society of South Africa at the Wits University Medical School auditorium on Wednesday, Noakes said he had certainly learnt that anyone who challenged the “prevailing orthodoxy” found themselves silenced for advising something different.
He said: “A generally unfashionable opinion is always never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the high-ranking periodicals.”

He's the author of the "runner's bible", the Lore of Running 🙂 LCHF diets seem to be gaining gound lately.
