He also points to the fact that it seems that there is a link between being obese and Type 2 diabetic and survival chances if you end up on a respirator.

Jon has just been fitted with hearing aids and he cannot believe the difference they have made to his life. As part of his journey back to normality Jon thinks that the weight loss and the reversal of his Type 2 diabetes has given him the confidence to sort out his hearing. Being overweight and deafness have a lot in common as they both have the effect of isolating you and perhaps making you depressed. Not having a hearing test is the equivalent of not looking at your reflection in a shop window. It is a form of denial and Jon realised he had to confront it. So now he has hearing aids and a second mortgage to pay for them! But joking aside he has more confidence and greater self-esteem. Jon believes that the hearing aids like the bike he has just bought is all about him investing in himself and he thinks this is vital if you wish to lose weight and change your life with Simple as Fat.

Jon Gaunt has finally treated himself and bought a bike. As you now he puts his weight loss and reversal of his Type 2 Diabetes mostly down to eating Low Carb High Fat real food (LCHF) but he now wants to venture further and for that he says he needs a bike. However Jon states he is not having a mid-life crisis and he is certainly not going to be dressing in lycra and riding on our pot strewn roads. No, Jon has invested in a mountain bike which cost £750. One of his fans on Simple as Fat remarked that they had spent the same amount on a car to which Jon replied, "yes but the car isn't going to get me fit is it?!" Jon states that he has invested in himself and in his future and in this podcast he talks about how important it is for everyone who wants to lose weight to do the same and for once to put themselves first. He says even though he has fallen off his bike it just made him giggle and riding downhill at speed has made him feel 18 again. Jon is beginning to realise that taking back control of his body is

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 presen

But to be fair, Jon has been re-inspired by Gordon and in this episode Jon uses Gordon's example to explain that until you have your head in the right place you will never lose real weight and never keep it off. Gordon talks frankly about his sugar and food addiction and Jon empathises with him completely. They both used to eat 2 Cadbury Cream Eggs when paying for their petrol! Most people like Jon and Gordon have had a dysfunctional relationship with food, and sugar in particular, since childhood and it is that addiction that needs fixing if you are ever going to lose weight, reverse your Type 2 Diabetes and take back control of your life.

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 livin

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 mor

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

Jon Gaunt has a special guest with him in this podcast, radio and TV presenter Liz Kershaw. Liz has just lost two stone on a Low Carb (LCHF) diet and she is not shy in coming forward with her view that Low Carb living makes you not only lose weight but feel brilliant. She also exposes the fact that you and I pay VAT on the junk food that we buy in supermarkets so in essence the Government is profiteering from you weight gain? Jon and Liz also discuss the fact that Big Food and Big Pharma are too close to Governments and Dietary Guideline policy makers. She jokingly describes herself as a food anarchist and says she is never going back to eating sugar and carbs. She cites the example of her Grandparents and says eating real food like they did and good animal fat like lard helped them to live much longer. She also has a right pop at what she describes as lazy parents who are allowing their kids to eat junk and processed food and says there in no excuse for not cooking a real meal from scratch every day. This po

"Do not drink sugary fizzy drinks. They are very harmful and the more you drink the more likely you are of getting cancer" "There is a clear correlation between the number of sugary fizzy drinks and cancer, particularly stomach cancer." These are the words of Professor Robert Thomas of Bedford and Addenbrooke's Hospital who is Jon Gaunt's guest in this latest free Simple as Fat podcast. Robert, who is a Cancer specialist, also states,"50 percent of cancers are caused by lifestyle and 40 percent of these cancers are connected to obesity." In this fascinating and enlightening podcast the Professor explains that sugar is the core of problem along with starchy carbs. He says, "We do not need any processed sugar, you do not need any sugar as it has NO nutritional value at all" The Professor also states that the worst thing you can do is have cereals, fruit juice, toast and sugar in your tea on an empty stomach first thing in the morning The main points he makes are: Fighting chronic diseases like cancer is about l

In this latest edition of the Simple as Fat podcast, Jon Gaunt explains that you do not have to buy an expensive gym membership or dress in lycra and buy a bike to lose weight and reverse Type 2 diabetes. You can do it simply by gentle walking and eating real food. Jon has been walking at a moderate pace now for a year and has lost over 80 pounds in weight and reversed his diabetes and got his blood pressure back to normal. He is also off all meds. He has done this without once breaking into a sweat and in this podcast he shows you how you can do the same.  He also explains how gentle walking can also alleviate stress, depression and aid in combatting chronic disease like Alzheimers, cardiac arrests and strokes.

The newspapers and MSM are full of a story that a new wonder drug has been developed that could cure obesity. Jon Gaunt is very cynical about this and asks the question do we really need a £220 pound a month drug to help us lose weight? Jon has lost over 70 pounds by eating real food and has reversed his Type 2 Diabetes and is now off all drugs.  This so called wonder drug boasts that it can help people lose 9.5 pounds in a year?! That is pathetic and instead of conning us and being in bed with Big Pharma Jon Gaunt suggests that Governments' should be changing dietary guidelines and recommending that people should eat and follow a Low Carb, High Fat (LCHF) diet and take moderate exercise. Big Food and Big Pharma are killing millions and their influence needs to be stopped.  Eat real food and follow www.simpleasfat.com  

Jon Gaunt is gobsmacked and almost lost for words as he interviews the Godfather of the Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) movement, Professor Tim Noakes, about how he completely changed his diet and his life. Tim went from thinking that a high carbohydrate diet was absolutely necessary for sports performance. But after 33 years of marathon running and then developing Type 2 diabetes he suddenly realised that he had got it all wrong. He has now been Low Carb High Fat for seven years and he says he has lost buckets of weight, kicked his Type 2 into remission and has never felt better. Tim believes that Type 2 diabetes is a disease of choice or behaviour and not a chronic disease. He says we have been duped by the vegetable oil industry and the Grain lobby and that there is collusion between them, the sugar industry, Governments and education to continue to give the wrong dietary advice even when they know that the dietary advice we have followed from the Seventies is based on no real evidence. He busts the myth surround
