That's because you live in Australia and dont have to eat rice and noodles everyday. Its just a blessing you dont live here, think about the health risks you might incur. Lucky for you mate!!

To what are you referring please? What do you consider high carbs?

1. Refined Carbs and Added Sugars: Diets high in processed grains and sugars (especially fructose) are strongly linked to hypertension. Fructose, in particular, can increase uric acid levels, which inhibits nitric oxide—a gas that helps blood vessels relax.

So you are saying NO to honey, muesli and fruits. Rubbish.

I was brought up on Mother's Pride white bread, bacon butties, tater hash, sausages, Virol yeast extract, cod liver oil, and here I still am.

Sodium is essential for good health. Vegemite tastes great. Packed with B vitamins too. You must be a pom.

Marmite tastes better than Vegemite... just my opinion

Tim Noakes is. I'm not sure but high carbs cause diabetes, high bp and poor erections. I think Tim is probably correct. His diet might be boring though.

You live out of a no frills 15,000 Baht a month hotel room in a northeastern province. That means you have no kitchen, are not able to prepare healthy meals and you mostly eat at low priced local restaurants. I have seen what you eat. You have posted dozens of photos of your 40 to 60 Baht meals as if they are so wonderful. High in carbs and low in protein. The typical Thai diet. Most of the plate is filled with empty carbs and a small amount of protein.

The large amounts of beer you drink just adds more high volume empty carbs to your diet. That is why your BMI is well beyond healthy levels. You also do not exercise because you spend nearly the entire day on this site. On top of that, you talk a lot about drinking soy milk. Another low protein option that is highly estrogenic. Fine for women, not ideal for a middle aged man with low testosterone like yourself. It explains why you have so much chest fat.

What you need to do is cut calories, start exercising, and get your weight and blood pressure down. Being pre diabetic is not helping you either.

Professor Tim Noakes. A doctor and runner.

What are your credentials?

He is a world-renowned South African scientist, medical doctor, and emeritus professor of exercise and sports science at the University of Cape Town. He is famous for his low carb diet and has run more than 70 marathons and ultramarathons.

What will iam not said was correct. "Honey, oats, wheat flakes, are all good for you as in muesli.". Those, along with other grains, oatmeal, rice, quinoa, barley, millet, etc, are all healthy choices, with good fiber and prebiotics for the gut health.

People that run marathons are usually running all the time, and use heavy carbs for training. You can basically eat whatever you want if you're a long distance runner,,albeit sticking to healthy choices, as you're burning calories more that way than most others besides downhill skiing. I've known a few who gorged on pasta before their runs, as well as pizza, and they all are healthy and did well.

Don't live in NE Thailand. Don't do any of those things. Rice and wheat cause diabetes.

High carb, like I've always eaten, doesn't mean processed and refined carbs in a healthy person's lifestyle but whole grains, root veggies, green, yellow and red veggies, and fruit.

Noakes went from high carb to low carb. Wil i am is not correct. Those things are linked to high bp, diabetes and poor erections.

Funny, the thousands of people I've trained and given diet advice to have all lost weight, and helped some with diabetes, Anything that grows in the ground won't give you diabetes. It's the liquid calories and refined carbs, over processed, that add to your possibility of developing diabetes. Largely genetic and also a bad diet.

My son has and brother had diabetes, along with two others I know about in our family history but no one else has, and my son is lean and has eaten healthy all his life, along with exercise.

High BP also comes from an unhealthy diet of the same. As far as erections, I can't guess about those I've trained, but I've never had a problem.

Too many processed carbs, along with those they drink, makes it easier to develop diabetes. Eating things grown in the earth aren't going to hurt anyone unless they are already suffering from diabetes, where they have to be limited, especially some fruits.

But skinny people get diabetes. Noakes is 79yo, a doctor and run 70 marathons. His ideas are interesting. I eat oats and fruit plus soy. Noakes says they should be cut back. I'm unsure.

The rice part is simply not true. Asia has been eating it for centuries as a main staple with little to no bad effects. When the western diet came along it changed things for them, specifically heart disease , cancers and obesity.

The Adkins Diet
Dr. Adkins was the first to track and document this, he's got a book on it, worth the read.

Yes, and hops, flours (unrefined), and sugar cane are all okay to eat. Tobacco isn't in any forms and cannabis in edibles aren't that bad but aren't considered healthy.

I eat chicken, beef, pork, tuna, ricotta cheese, berries, soy milk, coconut water, cacao, yoghurt, onion, dark chocolate, bread, oats, soups and beans.

Fairly good diet but Noakes might be right. I don't know enough to say he is wrong.

Yes, like I said, my son has always been lean and eaten healthy, which shows it was the genetic predisposition that had him develop it. My brother developed it after gaining weight and not losing it when his doctors recommended it, which had him pass away from a heart attack. I've eaten oats daily since moving here, and did much of the time before, along with wheat, barley, millet and quinoa. My ex wife is lean and has it, along with more than half her family, all lean.
