Anybody else think it's a stupid idea? I'm a bit conflicted, because I like Taren and the channel (and I adore Grace), I want Taren to succeed. But watching the meltdown will be sort of a Big Brother Pity thing that's hard to resist. Lo carbs and endurance training - no, regardless of the fact that some version of it has partly worked for someone at some point, with provisos. I don't care if the Plews is a doctor, a professor or whatever. He's engaged in Selling the New Awesome Thing to Triathletes. At premium prices.

That is not true. I know several endurance athletes that do low carb for several years and are better than ever. Carbs causes inflammation in your body. In general, is worst than better for you.

I agree. Although I think it’s individual, for the most part, you can’t defeat basic physiology. Although Mr. Plews was the top age-group athlete at IM World Championships. I think what’s more telling is that most world champion athletes do not eat this way. Most registered dietitians that focus on sports nutrition believe LCHF isn’t optimal. I have tried it and it did not work for me. Also, notice the caveat that Taren stated. You must be carefully coached on how to do this properly. Most of us don’t have the means to get expert guidance so I think there is a fine line between doing it right and seeing IF it works and sheer failure on the course.

I really like Dan's approach. I've been doing the HFLC for a year and half. I am finding that with my increased training that i need to add a few carbs. It's interesting because my body is particular about what kind of carbs. And it doesn't take many of them.
@drantoniog5 жыл бұрын
This is a very interesting approach. As a beriateic patient i have significant problems with my pre race and race nutricion due to the limited amount of things i can eat. Carb loading for me is hard so i tend to run out of fuel easily. Changing my metabolism to rely on using more fat than sugar for energy might be a good alternative for me. I would definitely will have to look more i to this.

Title is very misleading....9:21 first ironman....suggesting people adopt such a diet! Peer reviewed research (around for circa 20 years!) on this subject indicates testing of such an approach has only been carried out on well trained athletes and does not necessarily work for everyone - some of the names he cites will train for 25+hrs a week much of this at/below aerobic max, and have been doing it for a while now, so naturally they are pretty well fat (and neuro-muscularly) adapted/fit and fairly quick whatever their diets? As Taren does admit in the video, great care is needed when going down the route of creating ketosis through such a diet and training for Ironman or any endurance event for that matter (gene adaptation/immune system impact...). To me such a dietary approach would have to be matched by most (>75% to 80%) of your training at/below LT1 with very limited HIT efforts, especially if you have a limited aerobic base! Then getting fast in any of the disciplines maybe requires the Mark Allen, Phil MAF approach to get anywhere near 9hrs! I've managed to adapt fairly well to this new sport as a 50+ vegan, and If I had 15hrs+ to train then 9:20 would be a reasonable target in time, currently its' only circa 10hrs.

jdyke1234 I shouldn’t say few athletes as in a very long winded answer there is some merit to be able to last without carbs in a long endurance race. However for most athletes who try to use it a magical answer to getting fast, yes not very many succeed and of those who do succeed most of whom are women. I could go into detail but rather not type out a multiple page essay on the KZbin comment section lol. Basically I would suggest doing some easy mileage without carbs and your long rides/runs and hard interval sessions with carbs to train your gut to absorb and allow your body to metabolize food while racing. Being able to take in more carbs while racing will always make you go faster, this is why the top pros in the world consume 100+ grams of carbohydrates an hour.

Hi Taren, if you are interested in Low Carb Triathlon Training maybe this is something interesting for you aswell. In the Netherlands there is a comapny called "Fittergy" (www.fittergy.nl/) they offer a 10 day program where you make the switch between sugar burgning system into fat burning system. Its consist of 3 days reducing the intake of food, 3 days of fasting and 4 days of increasing your intake of food. Combined with suplements and training at 70-80 % of your max hrate will make you loose weight but also come into a state that you burn fat instead of sugar. Hope you like it. Just about to finish the program for the 2nd time in 2 years. I feel clean from the inside, lost already 5.5kg, got way more energy. Its supposed to use as an extra kick to your regular schedule, where you clean and reset your body and loose that extra bit of fat. Just check it out! They even have a vegan program!

I pretty much blind when i'm not wearing my glasses or contacts - so i'm considering lasik. Any thoughts/recommendations you can share would be much appreciated.
