114: Joanne McCormack – Fat Is My Friend

Joanne McCormack

 Joanne McCormack is a UK doctor and former GP who first learned the powerful value of Ketogenic diets in 2014, first personally and then with her patients.

She was a GP for 30 years but only started to see people reversing their obesity and type 2 diabetes once they started to use tools like Keto, low carbohydrate and intermittent fasting as ways of life. It was as if the UK “woke up to Keto” and progress was made for the very first time.

She recognises that the UK “ Eatwell” Guide is potentially harmful for diabetic and overweight people (as it recommends too many carbohydrate containing foods). She helped launch the charity the Public Health Collaboration, with the dual aim of educating health professionals and the public about better ways of looking at food, and campaigning at national level for better government dietary advice.

    “I said, I am really concerned that we are managing diabetes wrong.”

    “The whole country has really poor diabetes figures when diabetes management is audited everybody gets worse unless they follow a ketogenic diet or a low carb diet.”

    “People can eat what they want but they have got to take the consequences, because the consequences will be deteriorating health and your health getting worse more quickly than it would do otherwise”

    “I started to think of them as a harmful substance rather than a tasty snack.”

    “Especially the people who are addicted to sweet stuff will probably want to continue to eat the things that they’ve always eaten and try to have enough medication to cover it.”

    “If you are ready, start making baby steps if you are not ready to take the plunge completely.”
