I respect Noakes for having the balls to admit he (along with almost every other "expert") was wrong on diet, which he had essentially said that high-carb for athletes WAS "settled". He often says that anyone who has his book should just rip out the chapter on diet and throw it away..
Lol. Except he and all the other experts weren't wrong. You are. Have a nice day pseudo-expert.

I used to be high-carb, too. Now it seems like mass hysteria.
The thing is, these diets can be very effective when you are young and insulin-resistant; in that context, high-carb can be "rocket fuel". Witness the young Kenyans (who grew up fasting every day while running as well); they hovel sugar into their tea and bash out the miles like they are nothing (PEDs not considerd here).
But that rocket it is a rocket to nowhere if you don't adjust course by the time you are 30, and certainly 40. The liver and pancreas can only take a beating like that for so long. But just like runners who will sacrifice their bodies to hard, excessive training, they will stubbornly cling to the modes that "got them there". So many of us watched our health decline, despite "doing it right" with "whole grain goodness" and avoiding saturated fat like it was poison.
Adapt or die. Nature doesn't lie.
Lol. You ...are...SO FULL OF $HIT it's coming out your ears.
Everything you wrote above is completely unsubstantiated dog$hit.
The longest lived people on the planet eat high carb, or fairly high carb, NOT low carb. Period. The high majority of the best athletes in the world, including master's athletes eat high carb. (some may eat lower carb, I never said that's impossible for it to work for some).
If you are active, and eat whole grains/legumes/potatoes/fruit/veggies, you can easily eat a healthful high carb diet your whole life and not burn out/beat your "liver and pancreas." What utter BS.
The so-called blue-zones, where people from several different spots on the globe live long healthy lives into their late 90's and beyond, most of their diets are: " mostly vegetarian/mostly plants, especially beans. And eat meat rarely, in small portions of 3 to 4 ounces. Blue Zoners eat portions this size just five times a month, on average." Lots of potatoes, fruit, and whole grains too. Mostly high carb, definitely NOT "low carb" or keto-BS.
The okinawans ate a 90% carb traditional diet. Longest lived people on the planet. The tarahumara, famous for their low levels of heart disease and long distance running prowess, ate a 90% carb diet consisting of mostly beans, corn, and veggies.
And look what they found out last year:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/18/south-american-tribe-found-have-healthiest-hearts-ever-studied/"The Tsimane diet largely consists of non-processed carbohydrates high in fibre, such as rice, plantain, manioc, corn, nuts and fruits.
An estimated 14% of their average caloric diet is protein, 14% is fat, and 72% is carbohydrate
Scientists who examined hundreds of men and women from the group found that almost nine out of 10 had clear arteries showing no risk of heart disease.
Even in old age most remained in astonishingly good health.
They have the lowest reported levels of coronary artery disease of any population recorded to date.
"
But, but, but.......
But sure, despite allllll that evidence, we should believe pseudo-expert anonymous YMMV that eating a high carb diet is dangerous, unhealthy, and should be avoided at all costs. Too funny.
Give it rest fad diet dude.
Yeah, that's a bunch BS that those cultures eat a low protien/low in animal foods. Actually go to those cultures and not blindly believe these false reports. Why would the medical field and the government lie? Well the KGB knew the benefits of a low protien diet. And, that is people are more easily controlled and brainwashing is made much more effective on it.

Wow, like most Sage titled threads, this one is an absolute train wreck..
He's a pro athlete, and even if you're a weekend warrior, if you have any competitive urge in you, you're going to have big dreams, why else sign up? Sage is very transparent, maybe sometimes too transparent, but he learned 6-7 years ago how he could make this a living and he has a hot gf, clearly he's winning.
Here's the kicker about diets, while there are common themes with healthy food and stuff like drinking water, not smoking cigs, and keeping booze limited..but when it comes to eating meat or not..everybody here looses their mind in 2018..
I couldn't live a vegan life style, zero desire for my physical and mental needs, but if that works for YOU, then what's the big deal?

Sad to hear but it doesn't surprise me at all. Taking care of your body takes constant attention a lot of people don't do that. They take health for granted and when things go wrong they blame it on an illness.
A lot of modern illnesses are food related and if you educate yourself you can eat healthy without being vegetarian or vegan. But you have to educate yourself a little bit and start cooking your own food. It's not rocket science.
Hey Troll-e-rone Rectal-xxxing, you never answered my question (as long you seem to be my self-appointed personal troll): what exactly is this "fad diet" that I am on?
Your so-called "blue zones" fall into the classic correlation/causation fallacy, when in fact longevity is acknowledged by anyone with a properly functioning brain as multi-factorial. See "Japanese lung cancer paradox" or "French fat paradox".
Epidemiology is at best the level of hypothesis-generation (prospective) in science; only an ankle-biting little chihuahua of a man, foam spittle on his little lips like yourself, would claim "the science is settled"from it. You probably even think that glucose is the only energy substrate for the brain, lol. Poor little bug-eyed guy :)
So please let me know what my fad diet is, all-yapping one?
My health is good, I don’t know who impersonated me. For the record, I’ve seen no one way that works for everyone, but go with what works for you & be sensitive to age-related changes.
Yes, I cook my own food now! And the examples of other cultures are very important. It is always a battle to relate them to our own existence, as well as the long lifespan so typical now.
