Franziska Spritzler, RD, CDE, is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator who favours a low-carbohydrate approach for diabetes and weight management. For several years she consumed the same low-fat, high-carbohydrate eating plan she recommended for the patients she counselled as an outpatient dietitian in a large teaching hospital.

Once she discovered in early 2011 that her own blood sugar levels were increasing to unhealthy levels after eating, Franziska began researching the beneficial effects of carbohydrate restriction and adopted it as her way of eating. She now recommends low-carbohydrate diets for people with all types of diabetes, as well as for individuals insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and those who have difficulty losing weight with low-fat diets.

She is the author of "A Low-Carbohydrate, Whole-Foods Approach to Managing Diabetes and Prediabetes," featured in the Winter 2013 edition of the American Diabetes Association's Diabetes Spectrum journal.

Zoë Harcombe was the first pupil from her school to graduate from Cambridge University. While studying maths and economics at this historic institution, Zoë set out to answer the million dollar question - "Why do you overeat? When all you want is to be slim?" This became the title of Zoë's first book - published in 2004.

"Stop Counting Calories & Start Losing Weight" followed in 2008, with an accompanying recipe book and "The Obesity Epidemic: What caused it? How can we stop it?" which was published in October 2010. "The Harcombe Diet for Men" (2011) gave men the super quick read they were after and then two more books were published in 2013 - a collaboration with Hodder & Stoughton: "The 3-Step Plan" and a completely revised "Why do you overeat?"

Zoë has a PhD in public health nutrition. She struggles to find anything that is being taught in 'conventional' nutritional worlds that is true or evidence based. Hence why she spent 2008-10 writing The Obesity Epidemic - 135,000 words blowing apart: the misapplication of thermodynamics to dieting; the notion that 1lb = 3,500 calories, let alone that a deficit of 3,500 calories will lead to a weight loss of 1lb; the Seven Countries Study and the subsequent change in our diet advice, which has caused the obesity epidemic; the role of exercise in obesity and much more.

Zoë lives in the Welsh countryside with her husband, Andy, a rescue dog and a rescue cat. A .PDF version of the slides used in this presentation can be found here; http://www.zoeharcombe.com/the-hpcsa-vs-prof-tim-noakes-a-birds-eye-view/
