You've got to respect Noakes as a scientist when he publicly states that what he wrote about diet is wrong. The great thing about real science is its not static and set in stone. Personally I'd love to see more data, but on N=1 basis I've seen my hill climbing go from strength to strength this year as I gradually wean myself off the carbs. I'm now doing 4 hour slow runs pre-breakfast on a handful of trail mix, I hope to reduce this to no trail mix soon.
A quick google search brought this up. http://www.health24.com/dietnfood/Di...1173,66523.asp
