Professor Tim Noakes

“Carbs do not satisfy hunger – they stimulate it. Most of the food in question is processed and developed with one purpose in mind: to make you want more. They are tested and refined to the point where they are as addictive as they are destructive.” Tim Noakes is a South African scientist and an emeritus professor in the Division of Exercise Science and Sports Medicine at the University of Cape Town. He is a proclaimed author, amongst his best-sellers are The Real Meal Revolution, The Lore of Running, and The Lore of Nutrition. In 2012 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from South Africa’s National Research Foundation for his contribution to sports science research. His most recent book, Real Food on Trial, tells the true story of his four-year-long court hearing in South Africa, where the establishment tried to silence his dietary opinions. Tim was victorious. He is ranked on Twitter as the 4th most influential scientist across the globe! Twitter/Instagram/facebook - @ProfTi
