There is a favorite line from my novella Dinner Party For Eight in which Angela asks Harry:“What do you think I am?”Harry considered this for a moment. What was she actually?“Well I suppose you are a very beautiful cook.”So if I have to answer the same question what am I actually? I would also need to consider this for a moment. I would like to say I’m an ex astronaut, have more degrees than a thermometer, have competed in the Tour de France without any EPO, surfed Teahupoo in Tahiti and emerged unscathed, sailed round the world, am an ace Alpine skier, am a member of Mensa, have a beauty queen wife and gorgeous kids, and started my own corporation which has listed on NASDAQ. I could go on but like Arnold Schwarzenegger I don’t want to boast.Well to be honest, I have gone some of the way towards all those things. I do have a letter from Wernher von Braun, I do have three degrees in Physics, I have flown in a jet plane (Emirates Air), I do cycle the mega steep hills here where I live but unfortunately can’t get EPO anywhere, I am a keen surfer who has almost managed to break his neck, I am an ocean going skipper and I did own my own yacht though if it was me I wouldn’t sail with me as captain, I do ski but you need to get out of the way, I do have a beautiful wife (though her agreeing to marry me has to be my biggest piece of luck ever) and two great kids, I do have my own software business but no stock exchanges alas and I would like to take the Mensa test but I’m pretty sure I would fail and then I wouldn’t be able to live with that so I would rather rationalize. I live in that sapphire city – Cape Town.

    There is a saying it is the tip of an iceberg. If you actually check on the basis for this adage you will find that only one ninth (or 11%) of an iceberg is actually above water. In the wider sense this means the problems that have actually been revealed are only a small fraction of those that exist. When it comes to being overweight or obese we are only looking at the tip of the iceberg so to speak. Because if you were to open up such a person you would find that loads of visceral fat is wrapped around the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. We can all see the outward manifestation of fat but who gives a thought to all the fat that has first been stored inside? Yes, that’s food for thought, so to speak. I’ve just finished reading the autobiography of a surgeon who recounts doing a colon operation on an obese person. Surgeons apparently hate doing operations on fat or obese patients because they actually battle to find the organs they need to operate on in the sea of fat inside the patient. That’s pretty disgusting to think about, I know. But how about this? In one operation he had his hand in the patient’s abdomen trying to find his way around when a large blob of fat catapulted out of the patient’s stomach and landed on the floor. It was the size of a golf ball. He kicked it under the table then took it home and gave it to his dog to eat.

    Yes, we are all somehow amenable to the concept that eating fat is actually very bad for you. Not so says Professor Noakes. In a far reaching about turn he has basically espoused a version of the Atkins diet (Ron Atkins was an American physician and cardiologist) as well as claiming
