Chickpeas and lentils on the LCHF diet - Are legumes allowed?

July 28, 2014

On this episode of the Ask Prof Noakes Podcast we talk about legumes on the LCHF Diet. Brad Brown asks Prof Tim Noakes if foods like chic peas and lentils are allowed when eating the low carb high fat way.


Prof Tim Noakes: There are two problems with those. They contain anti nutrients and we’re beginning to realise that your gut is very important. Your gut must have its integrity intact.


Do chickpeas damage the gut?

We know now that wheat in particular damages the gut in all of us, but in some much more that others particularly if you have the genetic abnormalities like celiac disease.
