Popular ex-science professor, doctor and health guru, Tim Noakes, has earned acclaimed dieting fame for his banting revolution and low carb high fat diet.
Taking South Africa by storm, foodies, experts, health professionals and fans, seek Noakes’ advice for daily banting consumption through a variety of outlets; conferences, books, articles online and twoogle (twitter users asking for answers).
But wait just a minute, who is this guy?
Holy baked bread Batman, have you had the wrong Tim Noakes the entire time?
Yes, the real Tim Noakes has been confused on twitter with British editor Tim Noakes. Normally, people figure it out quite quickly, but unrelentingly banters haven’t cracked this case just yet.
And, the real ‘other’ Tim Noakes has been giving anti-banting advice the entire time:
I won’t stop until all South African runners are eating doner kebabs for breakfast & imbibing hard liquor, fags + illegal drugs at the gym

Hey @twitter is it possible to block a whole country (i.e anyone in South Africa) from tweeting at you?

@TimNoakes sorry can’t help. But just blocked you, if that’s any help?

@nickste great observation

The editor of @DazedMagazine is @TimNoakes, not to be confused with @ProfTimNoakes. But you could see Banting as ‘pop culture’ too.

So what do you think? Who will you continue to ask for banting advice @ProfTimNoakes or @TimNoakes?
