In this latest episode from www.simpleasfat.com Jon Gaunt says you can forget about celebs like Tyson Fury, Kim Kardashian and Halle Berry backing Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) diets as his dog has just gone low carb and he has never looked better. In this funny but informative podcast Jon Gaunt explains that most dog food is 74 percent carbohydrates and he believe that, just as with humans, this is a recipe for disaster. Jon’s toy poodle, Ambi, also suffers with epilepsy. As you may know Low Carb High Fat diets are an effective treatment for epilepsy in children and have been used since the 1920’s based on the Banting Diet. So, Jon thought well what’s good for the Goose is good for the Gander or the Poodle and put his dog on LCHF. Jon says the results have been amazing and led to weight loss, more vitality, a better-looking coat and most importantly no epileptic fits since going low carb. So, the question is can a Low Carb High Fat Diet control epilepsy in dogs? Jon Gaunt says, yes and his Toy Poodle is the living walking, barking proof. Jon also talks about the benefits that he has felt himself since going low carb which he says are less depression, his gout eliminated and of course combined with walking he has reversed his Type 2 diabetes and got his blood pressure into the normal range.  If you are a dog lover or just a lover of life you will love this podcast.

In this funny and thoughtful, Simple as Fat free podcast Jon calls for Low Carb High Fat diets to be accepted as a third way of reversing Type 2 Diabetes and curing the obesity epidemic. He rages about how much more evidence will be needed before medical authorities and dietary guidelines accept the blindingly obvious evidence in front of their eyes that people all around the globe are curing themselves by eating real food. Jon says saturated fat is not the problem, it is excess sugar that is at the heart of the problem and major diseases like Type 2 diabetes, strokes, heart disease, obesity and dementia. But no, the medical authorities are still refusing to alter their dietary advice and still insist that their Eatwell plate is the best way to eat and that the guidelines of a third of your plate being starchy carbs. Jon says this is just plain wrong. Jon calls it the “eat Death plate.” Meanwhile Big Pharma is now suggesting that they could have a flab injection to cure obesity? More drugs! Ex-BBC News presenter, Michael Buerk, has entered the fray telling fat people that they are fat because they simply eat too much. His ignorance is stupendous. This from the man who brought the Ethiopian famine to the West could have used his communication skills to help with the obesity problem and its victims rather than stigmatise them. Jon rages that Buerk by name Burk by nature is ignorant of insulin resistance and should apologise and get himself educated. Finally, Gaunty has a go at the United Nations who have joined the propaganda machine of the vegans and is recommending a fad and unhealthy vegan diet. Jon states that the links between Big Food/Big Pharma and Government dietary guidelines must be broken as there is a genocide being committed around the globe. However, Jon controversially states that telling people that they are fat is not bullying or “fat shaming” but plain common sense medical advice. More info here www.simpleasfat.com

We don’t need Flab Jabs, Michael Buerk or Vegans to tell us we’re fat.

Like being punched in the face by Tyson Fury is how Jon Gaunt describes being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. He says it sent him into a panic and felt like a death sentence but he now knows that there are 3 ways to reverse Type 2 Diabetes and take back control of your life. The 3 methods are: Bariatric Surgery, A drastic 800-calorie milkshake regime or eating a Low Carb High Fat diet (LCHF). But Jon was not told any of this after that frightening moment 15 years ago when he was diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic. He states that the food guidelines he was given, including the so called Eatwell plate were wrong. They just made him fatter and fatter. The advice to eat a third of your plate as starchy carbs is bonkers in Gaunty’s view. He also says that the ever-increasing amounts of drugs that were dished out just increased his weight too. Jon ended up on ten tablets a day and was just weeks away from having to go on insulin. He was already on Metformin, Gliclazide, Perindopril blood pressure tablets and a load more. Jon believes that many people in the NHS seem to just treat Type 2 as a road to insulin and amputation rather than practicing lifestyle intervention like Doctor David Unwin, Aseem Malhotra and Tim Noakes suggest. Jon states “that the advice to eat baked potatoes with beans was terrible, I would have been better off just eating the butter.” Jon describes his deterioration in health ending up with cataracts, gout, morbidly obese and just sitting on his sofa literally waiting to die. His HbA1c was at 91. Then he started walking and investigating his tablets and his own health and had a ‘Saint Paul on the Road to Damascus’ moment when he realised that the answer was to eat Low Carb High Fat as people like Noakes, Unwin and Michael Mosley recommend. Jon started eating this way and combined with gentle walking he turned around his Type 2 Diabetes and his other ailments. However, he carried on researching his diabetes. Jon now knows there are 3 ways to reverse or cure Type 2 diabetes. One is Bariatric surgery which Jon is not keen on as he believes it plays to the stigma and idea of Type 2 being a result of gluttony which Jon rejects. Type 2 Diabetes, as Jason Fung says is a disease of Insulin resistance. The second way is the brilliant work of Professor Roy Taylor of Newcastle University and Mike Lean of Glasgow University with their 800-calorie restriction diet based on only drinking milkshakes and soup for 8 weeks which leads to drastic weight loss. Jon accepts that this works but his problem with it, is that eventually you do have to re-introduce real food again. That’s why Jon favours eating real food and following a Low Carb High Fat diet (LCHF) as the best way of getting rapid weight loss and hopefully type 2 diabetes remission or reversal. Using this method and combined with walking Jon lost weight rapidly and reversed his Type 2 Diabetes. Jon is very angry that LCHF plans have not been accepted by the NHS as way of dealing with Type 2 despite the thousands of people around the Globe you have or are “curing” themselves by cutting out sugar and starchy carbs. As a result, he has developed the  www.simpleasfat.com website to help and inform other people, just like him, to lose weight and take back control of their lives. If you are diabetic, pre-diabetic, obese or even just overweight this honest, amusing and informative podcast will show you that you are not alone. It will also motivate you to do something about your health and encourage you that you can take back control of your life and live a healthier and longer life.

Walking quite literally saved my life says Jon Gaunt. Gentle walking combined with a LCHF diet led to rapid weight loss and reversed his Type 2 Diabetes, Gout, High blood pressure and stress. He’s not talking about becoming a gym bunny or trussing himself up in Lycra and sweating like a pig he is just talking about moderate walking every day. Jon was morbidly obese with Type 2 Diabetes, gout, blood pressure through the roof and even erectile dysfunction. He weighed in at 306 pounds and was on the fast track to an early grave at the age of 56. But when he started walking he saw immediate benefits and was a walking addict within a few weeks and now regularly does more than 12,000 steps a day, about 6 miles. Combined with eating the www.simpleasfat.com way which is a Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) food plan Jon has lost tons of weight and even managed to reverse his diabetes. All his other medical conditions have also gone and he is now off all medications. In this amusing and informative podcast, he also explains how it has improved his mental health, relieved his chronic stress and made him more focused and actually a nicer person. An added benefit is that he can now even tie his own shoelaces! He stresses how important it is to walk in the fresh air and makes the point that walking is the cheapest form of exercise and everyone can do it. And it is not just Jon who has got amazing results.
