Hi Gail

I strongly recommend you consult your physician/medical practioner/nutritionist for professional advice regarding this…

Hi Sindy

This diet is not only for diabetics although in Tim Noakes’ case it helped him “reverse” his diabetes.

It’s really just a healthy way of eating & avoiding all the sugar laden, processed food that causes weight gain & disease.

If you have any health issues you really should consult a dietician or medical professional before going on a different eating plan.

I’m not diabetic or see any signs, can I go on this diet?

Hi Brionni

As a diabetic I would recommend you consult with your health practitioner for advice prior to embarking on a new diet, however Prof Tim Noakes attributes the Banting diet as one of the main factors in him managing to control his type-2 diabetes.

For more information on controlling (or reversing) your diabetes with the right diabetic diet go to the link below;

Hope this helps & be aware that there are many success stories out there of people who have managed to completely get off their diabetes medication just by following a healthy diabetic diet.

My name is Brionni and I would like to know if the Banting diet is ok as I am a diabetic (insulin dependant) and I would just love to be a bit healthier than i have been. I am currently with our hospital and also with the Endocrine clinic. PLEASE ADVISE!

Thanking you in advance.

Hi Anneke
There is increasingly more evidence coming to light showing that by eating a specific diabetic type diet could help type-2 diabetes patients reverse their diabetic symptoms.
The extent to which it can be reversed depends on factors such as how long your fiance has been a diabetic sufferer, how severe it is & with his genetics also playing a role.
However, if he is overweight, losing that excess weight should help him control his blood sugar levels better.
Also reversing diabetes doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be as though he’s never had it, but rather that he’ll be able to reduce his medication & possibly come off it totally – but maintaining a healthy diabetic diet will be something he will always have to follow (which isn’t a bad thing).
Hope this helps….
