The Best POST WORKOUT FOODS for Fat Loss & Building Muscle

[@anab0lic]

I stopped doing the whole carbs post workout thing many years ago and honestly my muscle growth recovery and everything only improved from doing so.

[@nonrepublicrat]

amen, no need at all for any dietary carbs

[@CarbageMan]

Yeah, if you're already low-carb, your body will be providing gluconeogenesis from working out at all fasted.

[@candykizz3z68]

Can you tell me what it is that you eat then ? I’m still so confused with what to eat, as I lift every day while fasting 🥴 keto is confusing to me when it comes down to working out and eating after .

I’ve never been this early. This channel has helped me tremendously. I love how this channel is life changing and I’ve become so much healthier as a result. I’m 25 and used to struggle with unstable blood sugars. I feel the difference in my health and I am have been an avid faster since discovering your channel. Thank you for doing what you do!

[@healthhollow7218]

This is perfect! I didn’t realize I was doing everything right 😂 I am keto and fast with OMAD. after a workout I have my one meal (dinner) I always have a lean meat with tons of veggies and sprinkle MCT oil on my veggies. Sometimes I’ll have a half of a seeet potato if I feel like I want it. After dinner I eat Greek yogurt with berries for desert. I have maintained my low weight and I feel amazing! Never feel deprived! 😉👍

[@ivoirtex_7618]

Man I swear to god your information is like straight out of a text book. It‘s so much fun learning about the ways your body transforms energy and how to utilize it the best way. Love you man

[@DEBadmintonCoach]

This is how I see it: 1) After a very strenuous workout: proteine (shake) + some carbs (hot baked potato/fruit) 2) Post workout low carb: Proteine (plant based proteine or whey proteine) + 1 scoop MCT oil powder. Option for 5 ounces cold potatoes or (rasp)berries 3) Post workout for recovery or 50 + (age): Proteine (whey) or proteine with a little bit of omega 3 fats (salmon) + carbs (baked potatoes + (rasp)berries) 25-30 g

[@CarbageMan]

IMO, there's no point in "plant based." All you're likely to do is rob yourself of EAAs.

[@Gamingcypher]

Thank you for the great video, Thomas!

[@javierpedrera1231]

Thomas you are god, thanks for your hard work mate. This helps people pushing their limits and trying to know their body like me A LOT. Keep going and thanks!

Id just like to thank you for all of your content. You provide amazing information and I love being able to continue to implement new things on my way to great health. Thanks Thomas!

[@kevinwhitcomb8986]

Thank you. This is just what I'm needing to learn about keto, I F, and building muscle and staying healthy.

[@danielleal1037]

On needing more protein and fewer carbs as we age, I always observe how old people here in Switzerland never refrain from doing the exact opposite of what their bodies need when they go grocery shopping: hardly any protein sources in their carts, but plenty of slices of cake, croissants, ice cream and other such garbage instead. I actually often ate like them in my early twenties and always felt like crap as a result.

[@Playboyy1985]

And yet they all are and look healthy

[@kristfur]

This is my post workout (not based on any science) - 1/4 cup Good Culture cottage cheese, 1/4 cup kefir, 1 scoop pea protein, 1 scoop of Organic Peanut Butter Powder, 2.5g Creatine, 1/2 scoop EAAs, 1/2 scoop Leucine, 2g L-Carnitine, Sprinkle Goji berries on top.

[@margrose5]

Perfect timing. Just finished my workout.

[@DanielMartinez316]

what about a post workout food for an aerobic excercise? (I ask because you didn't mentioned it at the beginng of the video)

[@grammasgardenofideas5081]

can we consider quality potato chips as a retrograded starch. i am serious. i could eat small amount of chips with blueberries as a meal. been clean keto 3 yrs. love all this specificity regarding timing and combinations. truly love it. thanks

[@linneasimchah1621]

Would love an answer to this question. I used to eat tons of Thrive potato chips cooked in coconut oil with himalayan salt. Always wondered if these potato chips qualified for the cooked-then-cooled potato starches that are supposedly beneficial.

[@CarbageMan]

Show us the potato chips that don't have healthy oils-let alone none at all. You could try microwave potato chips stored in the fridge. I tried that for a while. It didn't seem to destroy me. The thing is, you don't want fat at that time-let alone unhealthy fats.😉

[@Ivan_Mohnke]

Heated starches does not actually break them down into individual glucose molecules. Instead they are disrupted from their crystalline structures to form a starch-water network and are quicker digested by our salivary enzymes to indictable glucose

[@CarbageMan]

Take advantage of being insulin sensitive from doing a workout fasted by eating lean protein, but there's no reason to go crazy with the carbs. I have a post-workout low-carb shake with EAAs along with lean meat. Then an hour later, I can have a keto meal. The shake has more than enough carbs. I used to include a rice cake, and I didn't really see the point.

[@bassamal-kaaki3253]

Gosh! I saw a fly on the spoon and food in the video at time 12:03. This is totally why am against eating outside because of this issue!

[@ThriveMarket]

💯

[@tigressfortruth4450]

Do you suggest that people over 60 on the Keto diet exercise lifting weights fasted or after a protein shake to maintain and build muscle?

[@CarbageMan]

He's always suggested lifting fasted, which enhances insulin sensitivity.

[@connorcostello6043]

Could you name a couple other fruits for options post workout?

[@kevinpratt7766]

I realize I'm 2 years late here but hopefully someone can help me out. I'm confused. Maybe I misunderstood something but I thought depleting glycogen encourages lipolysis. If that's correct, then why would you want to replenish glycogen through food? Wouldn't you be better off to not eat post workout so your body replenishes glycogen on it's own by breaking down fat?

[@erichanson5628]

[@williamoconnell1233]

What if you lift weights for sports? like for soccer, basketball, and tennis. What should i do for my diet?

[@applebitefool]

How long do I have post workout to optimize my protein synthesis if I train fasted? I can train from 5-7am during weekdays but I generally break my fast at 10 am. 3 hours seems way outside the usual bro science what does actual science say about this.

[@devonsipe1617]

Love this. I didn’t know about the mct. Will start to add to my post smoothie! Thanks 😊

[@CarbageMan]

MCTs seem to cheat the "two compartment problem" by priming ketone production at the same time as accepting carbs. I usually start my fasting period with some MCTs.

[@joeturner8438]

I lift and have always saved my carbs for after lifting.

[@candykizz3z68]

So what would I eat if I’m doing heavy lifting every day, and I’m on keto 🤔🥴😮‍💨? Also working out in a fasted state.

Hey thanks for great video, my question is I'm doing intermittent fasting and I'm morning person when it comes to fitness, I've recently started working out at home. How do deal with eating after workout as I only have one meal during the evening. If I'm using weights am I not suppose have some sort of protein shakes or eggs. ?

[@CrysNov18]

That's a good question, I'm in the same boat 🙋🏽‍♀️ but I guess you can say I cheat fast because I never consider protein shakes or bullet proof coffees as breaking my fast 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@bobabucks1207]

@@CrysNov18 the coffee may not break your fast but I’m pretty sure a protein shake does.

Workout before your meal in the afternoon

[@kellensperduto4359]

What would you say to someone who isn't nessecarly low carb but gets carbs through veggies and fiber each meal with low fats and protein to match the carbs and fiber. My fats are low but my carbs are coming from clean sources that don't spike glucose. What would you recommend post workout with whey? Right now I just use veggies but I am too lean

[@kellensperduto4359]

I eat 4-5 meals a day with 35 grames protein , 25 veggie carbs and 10 g fiber supplement. Fats are usually 10-15% of daily intake

Why MCT rather than exogenous ketones themselves?

[@ludwig6332]

You mean long story short...? That was so hilarious to see a guy about to blow his ass out after eating at the Mexian Grill ha ha ha! Then there was a fly crawling on the serving spoon at the Chinese Buffett. I will take your advice and not eat diversified foods and proteins in larger amounts. I will always remember the fly crawling on the food there, your'e videos are getting better in convincing me!!!!

[@Tanyakapor]

So much to think about on a daily basis…just tell us what you eat, and your timing every day…give us a week of inside Thomas DeLauer, maybe we can adopt to your way easier 🤣😂

Lol. That defeats the purpose of fasted training if you consume protein before training. More muscle btw doesnt mean necessary a good thing

If Omega 3 helps with inflammation then don't need carbs until maybe another month or two after a workout I break my keto cycle...EDIT: for me personally doing OMAD so there's that to consider too 🙂

[@bradstonestreet9940]

Milos Sarcev is also a good reference for learning the science of food for muscle growth.

[@fatstorvolay2243]

Dr Berg has said before that the key to protein and muscle growth is to have protein before a workout, and not after. Any views?

[@incarnate6779]

John Kiefer literally wrote the book on how to spike your insulin (and why it's good) for optimal muscle growth and recovery. I recommend checking out his carb backloading protocol.

It can take much longer to see the numbers rise. I was like that for ages. Been low carb 3 years now and generally get 0.5 or higher every morning even after carbs the previous day. Keep at it

[@bassamal-kaaki3253]

If you want to increase your ketones level faster you need to be at a 20 gram carb level! 40 will not be ideal. Don’t only worry about net carbs, look at the total carb content and I am pretty sure it is more than 40 grams :)

On a 100% carnivore diet ppl tend to stop getting sore. Talk to Dr Anthony Chaffee What made you go the carb route instead of focusing on gluconeogenisis? The body makes all the carbs it needs at all times when adapted. Adequate Protein kicks you out of ketosis and it is supposed too because some amino acids feed into gluconeogenisis. Let protein be turned into carbs......no?

[@mjordan5382]

When I slip carbs in my diet I just want to eat more and more I get more and more hungry it not a good idea. I get stuffed and still want to eat. Fruit has fructose in it which metabolise like alcohol and light up the brain like meth.
