This Diet Is Destroying Your Lifespan

[@tomwalters558]

Cheers for this. I'm 41 and have just been diagnosed with chronic gastritis. No advice so took it upon myself to increase my protein and it's helped a bit. I'm grateful for this video which I shall watch again (and I only came across your channel and bike fit videos the other day as I was in between bike sizes). Thanks for all this great content

[@MRrandory]

Thank you so much for your help!! Love you Coach !! Audio book is soooo good!!!

[@gerlachsieders4578]

Kudos Scott! You are the first one to speak out against all that human fodder, it never fails to amaze me the crap cyclist eat on the road, like Haribo sweets....

[@trainingben7543]

I don’t know much, but I’d watch a debate between Coach and Durianrider over anything else.

[@biodegreaser4009]

Having been a DR fan since 2013 and a coach Scott disciple since 2022, this would be interesting, but unfortunately Harley doesn’t debate people , he knows his diet and “protocols’ are controversial , and have often been picked apart, but he won’t listen to any other argument then his own. As iv gotten older, as a female, and a cyclist, iv discovered the holes in his preachings one by one, and I am no longer a skinny vegan roadie 😂 more a gnarly mtber with some actual grunt and muscle . Of which was not attained by a sugar based vegan diet. But also a iv aged , and as we as women (if there are any here ) age we realise smashing the carbs and sugar is not so great for our bodies ,,. However, I accept Harley’s audience and target audience is the under 30,’s…. Which is why now, I don’t really pay much attention .. plus he is full of repetitive bs, and still using his genetically blessed 25 year old girlfriend as “proof” of his “protocols”. Which when you get abit older and wiser, you can kinda see through. “If you know you know” and all that 😉

I like peanut butter banana and honey sandwiches and bananas. Oatmeal before the ride.

[@triciaco2499]

Just what I need to hear, thanks coach! Next... How to balance that into into the Tour Divide

[@johnflynn4923]

Toasted pitta with homemade hummus and olive spread, delightful! As with all foods the fewer ingredients and the less processing the better.

[@SlingsAxes]

You made it about 4 minutes into the video before dropping the F-bomb. You were doing so well.

[@sdragnut]

I live the keto lifestyle, its the only way I can stay anywhere close to lean, as much whole food as possible. I use carbs to fuel rides. Often do up to 3 hour zone 2 rides fasted. On short harder rides, some banana. Once hills and longer rides come in (up to 15 hours) I use a home brew glucose mix, take a tiny sip every 5 mins followed by a swig of water. Works great. Have to find what works for you and roll with it.

Two years ago I discovered the carnivore diet (only animal products: meat, fat, eggs, fish, dairy. No veggies, fruit, grains, oils, nuts, sugars). It cured my colitis, my artritis, adutlt acne and a variety of small physical issues which one picks up over the 54 years I've been alive. I haven't eaten a single carb in that time. My body now runs completely on fats. Last week i did a 100km race without eating beforehand or even during. When your body runs on fats, you are so clear headed and have very even energy throughout the day. I won the uphill sprint in my group BTW. My bloods are perfect and I feel like I'm getting younger everyday. I lift weights everyday just to use up some energy and sleep is excellent with lactic acid a thing of the past. I don't take any supplements except for electrlytes. If you look into it you'll see that millions of people have discovered this and changed their lives reversing all sorts of diseases. My wife is off all anxiety meds and mom reversed T2 diabetes.

[@cyclingonplants7444]

My husband and I do 80 to 100km rides a few times a week and we eat real food on these rides, like you are suggesting, but most of our cycling pals eat those terrible bars and gels and buy pastries at the coffee stop. They think we are nuts for eating a whole wheat tortilla wrap or two with some protein in it. REAL FOOD! Sigh....

[@lejfk5488]

Over the last year or so I’ve dropped the gels and gone to a feed bag with dried apricots and cherries - I eat about 5 pieces every 1/2 hour if the ride. After 2 hours, then an oatmeal cereal bar with peanut butter filling. Recovery meal is a couple or bean and rice burrito in a whole grain tortilla and bananas I keep in a lunchbox in the car. It all does the trick.

[@amadreiter1]

Thank you. Since you started preaching the "Real Food", I have been switching . I just have one "EnergyGel" for Emergency. Otherwise i have Dates and Rice (With oliveoil, Coconutmilk, Nuts Dryed fruit) wraped in sushileafs and Bananas. I now ride 100 km with 2 Bananas and a Handful of Dates.

[@sklegg]

I took a cheese sandwich and a banana on my last long ride. I didn't have any discomfort even when the effort got harder. It works!

[@BaileyOetken-g4j]

Great analysis, thank you! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

[@ramoverde4133]

Fantastico ! 👍

[@defiancecycling]

Guilty of this kinda diet up until 2 years ago. Skinny fat😵‍💫 Great advice coach‼️

[@event4216]

Fats, easy. Quality fresh olive oil in a porridge instead of butter. In a salads. On pasta. btw today I had a pasta al dente and three hours later I did swim with a good power reserve without bonking.

[@doctor_gee]

Sounds like my cheese sandwich diet is perfect, fat, complex carbs and protein all in one :) Thanks coach!

[@FORKandFIFTIES]

You better eat !

[@FORKandFIFTIES]

Do people even listen to this guys advice or just watch for entertainment 😅

[@phil_d]

What's wrong with saturated fats? 🙄Unsaturated fats are generally ultra processed foods, like seed oils and because they are unsaturated (open chemical bonds) they are susceptible to damage within the body, especially by sugars. Coach, you need to do better with your advice on fats. What do you think you brain is made from? It ain't nuts and seeds but saturated fats. And HDL and LDL are not cholesterol, they're a transport. Your body will regulate those both properly is you let it.

[@paulhadfield8006]

the fat you eat is the fat you wear !!!!!

[@biodegreaser4009]

lol, there are quite a few Durianrider fans in here I see 😅

[@dukekaboom4105]

According to ZOE we in the western world get enough protein in our diet through our day to day food.

[@medtxastratospore5729]

It doesn't matter if you don't make effort to eat them. Say you need 100 gr daily. 10 eggs is still only 60 gr of protein.

[@kpsig]

If you do exercise hard, you need more…

[@josephruby2981]

True for most people. Not true for athletes and over-sixties. Esp not true for over sixties athletes!

[@euroswilliams7303]

You’ve taken a single source as being the truth, I’d advise you to look at more sources before sharing such awful information. Tim Spector (Zoe founder) has said a lot of things which sound good but don’t stack up. A couple of his main theories seem to be put over in this video and most will agree with these (gut health). The point you raise about protein, most would disagree with.

[@dukekaboom4105]

@@euroswilliams7303 I would rather take advice about protein intake from a Stanford Professor who has spent years studying the subject than a cycling coach. Likewise I would take advice from a cycling coach about cycling rather than a Stanford Professor.

[@Treker-yv7nz]

Ride fasted drink salt water

[@JulAlxAU]

I’m afraid what you say is rubbish! The only fat we need is the essential fatty acids that not produced in our body. The rest are produced in the liver. Refined sugar is what we need for a happy, healthy and energetic lifestyle. Starches, fruits, vegetables, legumes and refined sugar. Smash the carbs because that’s what gets you faster and stronger. There is no such thing as carbs over-reliance, fat adaptations and rubbish like that! We are already fat-adapted.

[@matauboy]

As a diabetic I think you're talking crap😂

[@kpsig]

You must be joking, right?

[@Lazybuttery]

i do like a good comedy comment like this one!

[@FORKandFIFTIES]

I eat what my body craves. This week it's craving cheese and carbs . Last week was craving proteins.. so strange how our body lets us know

[@gerlachsieders4578]

Correct, I ll emphasise this: FATS, not OILS, the evolution of the genus Homo was driven by the consumption of animal fats, rich mono unsaturates, so enjoy tallow, lard and butter, our grandparents ate this for centuries (!) and enjoyed a robust health. So forget about that disgusting olive oil...
