I finally get a chance to chat shop with Robb Wolf about keto, fasting, and carb tolerance for athletes!
Episode 434; What Is Your Carb Tolerance with Robb WolfEveryone is different, and understanding how your body processes different carbohydrates, and your demands is vital in improving your performance as an athlete. Carbohydrates are not evil. A little carb more consistently can help in improving your performance. In addition, consuming adequate proteins will help you avoid overeating other macronutrients to get better and long-lasting results. Exercise with proper nutrition and sufficient proteins is the best hedge against muscle loss and aging.
Today my guest is Robb Wolf, a strength trainer and research biochemist who traded in his lab coat and pocket protector to become one of the most sought-after strengths and conditioning coaches in the world. With Robb's unique perspective as a scientist and coach, you will learn how simple nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes can help change your appearance and health for the better as an athlete.
During the episode, we talk about the paleo diet, low carb and high carb drama, glucose tolerance test, and the best-targeted approach for athletes. We also dive into fasted low carb training, personalized athlete training and nutrition approaches, and the importance of listening to your body and identifying the red flags to avoid screwing up.
