Old Mutual LCHF Health Convention in Cape Town

Join Tim Noakes and friends for four days of debate and talks on health and nutrition at this inaugural Banting-inspired conference at the CTICC

Regardless of whether you loathe or love it, Banting is the buzzword on everyone’s lips. And now, the man behind the Real Meal Revolution, Tim Noakes, in conjunction with Karen Thomson of the Sugar Free Revolution online programme, is bringing the eating plan to the fore even more pointedly with a four-day health summit at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) from Thursday, 19 to Sunday, 22 February 2015.

Named the Old Mutual Health Convention, the event will feature a bevy of international and local experts debating nutrition and the body, and eager health enthusiasts and medical professionals alike are invited to come learn more about the causes and circumstances surrounding obesity as well as the benefits and physiological underpinnings of the highly popular LCHF diet.

For those not in the know, the Banting diet was spurred on by Noakes’s bestselling Banting bible, the Real Meal Revolution. The worldwide phenomenon involves eating fewer carbohydrates while upping the intake of protein and fat. Met with controversy from health professionals, like nutritionists and dieticians, the Banting diet is nonetheless one of the most popular eating plans in South Africa in the last decade.
