The Real Meal Revolution is not a book to be read when you’re hungry. Regardless of your preferred style of eating, the recipes in this book are enough to send you scampering to the kitchen, inspired to prepare one of the 130 tasty recipes.

Yet, while the recipes are all equally delectable and delightfully easy to prepare, with only a few ingredients, the book is much more than just recipes. It contains research which backs the high-fat, low carbohydrate style of eating, graphs documenting its success in studies, testimonials from professional sportsmen such as Gary Player, and case studies of ordinary people who have had phenomenal success with the diet.



The tagline on the book “Changing the world, one meal at a time” speaks volumes.

Prof Tim Noakes is back in the news, with the recent launch of this co-authored book, essentially a cookbook, that outlines both the controversial high-fat-protein and no-carb dietary regime he now advocates and recipes to live it. It's called The Real Meal Revolution, and is described by its publishers as "Part myth-busting scientific thriller, part mouth-watering cookbook".

The book contains much of the science behind Noakes' about-turn on conventional beliefs about weight loss, heart health, obesity and cholesterol as well as many other health-related issues.

Noakes contributes the science and rationale behind this diet, while all the recipes in the book have been created by Jonno Proudfoot, an accomplished chef and athlete, and who initiated the whole concept.

Another writer is David Grier, the amazing ultra-athlete who has run for charity around the world. He has a passion for helping children born with cleft palates, and he believes that The Real Meal Revolution will help these children have the operations they need. He is also an author of many of his own books and is an accomplished chef, too.

The fourth writer is Sally-Ann Creed, a nutritional therapist who has qualifications as a 'clinical nutritionist' and who has a high public profile for her takes on what makes for healthy nutrition.

"All of the recipes are beautifully photographed and delicious!
