Great podcast.

This was amazing, thanks! Big fan of both of you

This podcast was awesome! Thanks, Alex and Scott, for the information. I have been adding 5g in every post shake I take after my workouts, This podcast makes me feel great that I have been doing this as I read about it but wasn't aware of all of this.

Nicely done!!! I'm looking forward to hearing the next one.

I've been supplementing with creatine for almost a year now. I definitely noticed bigger gains in the gym this year, max weight not so much bulk, and think that even if there is a small water weight penalty, I am happy to pay it. I am an XC Mtb racer.

Great job and content. Thanks!

A brilliant episode, thank you, and it was fantastic to hear from somebody conducting primary research. Looking forward to future episodes, and what a great start to the podcast 👏

Glad you're back, Alex! Really enjoyed your previous pod.

So precious. I miss those days of snuggles.

This has been really helpful. I'm new to the carb loading game, and I've had a difficult time understanding the types and amount of carbs specific to carb loading. This brief chat has made it much simpler for me to understand, so thanks to all of you!

What? What do you mean match water sodium? How much do I need to drink?

As someone who has FODMAP sensitivities, what gels would you recommend that are only glucose and/or maltodextrin based (i.e., no fructose)?

i'm surprised you didn't mention precicion hydration

Big fan or the Maurten gels. Mainly because they aren't sticky like most gels. You can swallow the whole thing in two or three *bites* and they go down fast. This makes me much more likely to consume them in a race situation. I couldn't really nail down the flavor but yes, marshmallows!

I love the gel recommendations. I tend to use Clif products and feel like they are competitive with other big names but much cheaper. Their ingredients also appear to be more natural with some being organic. Any thoughts on Clif Shots and Bloks?

Any tips on how to best manage carb intake while being type 1 diabetic and racing/ exercising?

Soooooooo it’s a “maybe?” 🤪

This is all lies..... all of it... How U think muscle cells absorb sugar. With insulin..... that's the only way... Exercise decreases risk, but only because people who exercise eat less sugar usually. So many triathlete are diagnosed pre diabetic from eating those sugar shots.....

The glucose is going directly to the muscles when exercising but the fructose is not. Fructose has to be processed through the liver.

Well it depends. Keep consuming lots of sugars (glucose, fructose, lactose, galactose) and your body will keep compensating with insulin. Everything can seem fine for decades. Do it chronically and you'll have hyperinsulinemia. If you wish to understand if you are metabolically healthy get your fasting INSULIN tested. Your goal is a level of (2-8) and over 25 is diabetes. There's a huge space there between 8-25 where your body is producing more and more and more and more insulin to compensate. It's works great until it doesn't.

One thing that should be added, is, if you do consume sugar during or before your work out, you will not be losing any weight your body will use the glucose in your blood for the work out so there will be absolutely no fat burned

Great info. I really like the Mauten texture because I can basically take a packet in two *bites* and swallow. When I'm breathing hard I can still get these down and then they are done. No stickiness left over in my mouth. I tiny sip of water just before and they slip right down.

💯 yes!!! We’re all demented 😂

Tried the Maurine Bicarb and it just sent me to the bathroom faster

I also should add that we do not do any dairy or oil at home. Completely whole food plant based at home.

Plant based 63 year old endurance cyclist here. Great video. I also follow the Plant Based Athlete. I do wonder at times if I am meeting all of my needs so this winter I will need to re-evaluate my intake.

Good job ladies. Have not tried Skratch Labs pancakes but will try them as I love their hydration mix lemon lime. Big Dam Bridge 105 Ride this weekend in North Little Rock!

Love High Carb Skratch and pancakes! Great episode!

Excellent!

not sure if you have done anything with ketones but seeing lots of talk on those. Would love to see a deep dive your thoughts

If I start putting on weight, I’ll start tracking my food and nutrition intake with the Myfitnesspal app. That is usually enough to narrow down where I’m over eating and make adjustments to bring my weight back into check.

Lots of great information, thanks for sharing! I discovered your show via Trainerroad podcast. For books, I like to read/reread classics when I don't have anything on my list.

Thanks ladies, gonna give the caffeine a trial and see if I notice any improvement.

This is ngising

Been there, done that.

Hahaha 😂😂😂

Ayooo 😭😂

Too funny😳😂...

Any thoughts on Creatine during pregnancy?

Nutrition timing around workouts.

You ladies inspire me so much!!

Great conversation - thanks for sharing, and looking forward to the series!

Great conversation. I always struggle with what to eat for early races/workouts. I'm eating now rice with eggs and Avocado. But you mentioned something like "Crema rice"?

Im speechless and have nothing to say so just take this 💀
