Donal O’Neill makes “real food” documentaries exploring health and human performance. Movies so far include: Cereal Killers (2013); Run on Fat (2015); The Big Fat Fix (2016) that premiered in the European Parliament. Donal is also co-author with Dr Aseem Malhotra of the best-seller, The Pioppi Diet. On his website, Let Fat Be Thy Medicine, Donal  describes himself as a “lean ex-athlete with no family history of overweight/obesity but a whole lotta heart disease and diabetes staring at me”. Donal says that once upon a time he believed that fat was bad, but he now ranks that right up there with his belief in Santa Claus. Cereal Killers was his first journey into film (he’s still not sure if it’s opened Pandora’s Box!) and this website will support the film and his thoughts beyond.

Dale Viljoen is a  qualified Banting Coach in Japan. By eating healthy LCHF foods, he says he received a new start to life. In 10 months, he  lost 18 kilograms of body fat, came off insulin and diabetic medication, and saw his fatty liver return to normal. He has  lived in Hokkaido, Japan, for 38 years as a follower of Jesus. His  basic philosophy: quality of life is more important than blindly following doctors’ prescriptions and orders. Scientific evidence confirms the benefits of the  LCHF way of eating. This revolution should result in disease prevention rather than disease intervention. He says each one of us has been created in the image of God: “To love God and others, we need to love and take care of ourselves in a holistic way.”

Dr Glud worked for 40 years in the health sector, the last 25 years as a consultant in cardiology. He  treated and followed 1000’s of patients with heart disease. Has followed the nutritional debate since the 70’s and has found that lifestyle determines health for the vast majority and that mainstream medicine has taken the wrong path with a default setting for symptomatic treatment with very little room for prevention.
