Excelente!!! por algo es uno de los mejores cientificos ligados al deporte!

[@daneichner6175]

I’ve been following you for years. Your knowledge helped me get through an IM. This put everything together for me, thank you. And I’m going to share this with people who have tried everything but the simplest solution you put forward here. And I’m going for a walk now. Incredible speech, I hope you do it again, and again, next time with a glass of water 💦 😇

[@JonathonStalls]

Great talk Inigo! Love emphasis on moving the way we're built to... on-foot.

[@jamesc6137]

Consistent zone 2 or MAF HR exercise is the great equalizer in bad health even with a less than stellar diet. However after 40-50ish in most folks it gets harder to out exercise a bad diet. Less sugar and consistent exercise fixes a lot.

[@toomanymarys7355]

Even at age 25, most people will not exercise more than 500 calories in a day.

[@neoneherefrom5836]

If they have entered the sedentary workforce as a desk jockey, you’re probably right.

[@threedogsandacamper503]

He has a point, but it’s specious argument to compare our modern selections of highly processed foods that are the cause of much metabolic disease to the diet of people thousands of years ago or even say, before 1970. Ancient Romans and early Asian cultures weren’t eating bags of chips and gallons of ice cream.

[@r_ds8057]

Yes . Food engineering is a thing - shelf stable and hype palatable foods. And lots of it ... I am all for lots of Zone 2 cardio...but not sure if that is the silver bullet.

[@pehu1322]

Awesome Talk!!! THX so much P.

ABSOLUTAMENTE MARAVILLOS

[@thegprince93]

I kept telling my family that the American "standard" is not for us. The average is not a number you should ever aim for. You have to look at the best, the healthiest, and strive for that.

Exercise is the key.

[@TheSymphonyOfScience]

Yes and no. If you're eating bs, exercise won't be enough. You can't outrun a bad diet. Simple as that

Elite Athletes

[@SpeedBoosted911]

Elite athletes: cycling, running, ski etc. Their aerobic system is amazing

[@Babu-kr3cr]

He means Mediterranean countries like Italy, Greece, Spain and France where they walk a lot on errands or Asian places like Japan and India where they do farm work and walk despite eating white rice and pastas, etc.

[@marcoparigi1]

As much as I appreciate ISM work, presented this way his thesis makes no sense. When it comes to chronic diseases it’s common knowledge that age is an enormous risk factor: élite endurance athletes are generally young, and young people are virtually chronic disease free too, no matter their lifestyle; therefore, unless we follow those élite athletes well into their 50s or 60s, checking their diets and so on, we cannot draw any reliable conclusion. Maybe it matters that their are aerobically super fit or maybe they just happen to be young, which, as far as we know, is the best cure of all...

[@kptrzk9398]

usa adolescent diabetes rates?

[@xGshikamaru]

There is obvious performance decline with age starting at 27, but it's gradual, and you can see a lot of cyclists and triathletes in their 50s and even early 60s giving younger athletes a run for their money.

[@evanhadkins5532]

That has been done. Generally the more exercise (so long as you don't injure yourself) the healthier you are, into old age.

[@ianken4362]

Who named this guy ?

[@Chwiirleader]

This doesn't fit in with most of the other studies I've come across on the subject. Of course athletes can tolerate more refined carbohydrates and sugars :P Thats not nearly enough to make such a bs claim as sugar not causing insulin resistance.

[@mikey7673]

100%. There's lots of off-base assumptions here, that almost seems the dude is funded by - or the unit he works for is funded by - big pharma / big food.

[@vivaiomasiano5545]

This is totally misleading, I am a master class swimmer and I train a lot. Until recently I used to eat mostly carbs and all of a sudden I incredibly discovered that I developed insulin resistance. Then I went keto and now my bloodworks are fine. I keep training hard without any carbs and yet got more energy then ever!

[@timotius]

When you train, is it always on high intensity? Mitochondria is more developed when you do the lower intensity of your training (zone 2 heart rate). This is a good reason to always monitor your heart rate zone. And of course you need to consume a sufficient amount of sugar that can support your training (but not too much).

[@elleelle5939]

I totally agree! Egyptian were obese actually and they ate carbs

[@Northwindbreeze]

It seems that this isn’t misleading. Your experience vs. A ph. D who trained the elite and athletes from different classes and countries is to not say incomplete but very personal. I am a master in different endurance sports apart from swimming and my insulin resistance is far from high. I have done it all: keto for years. One meal a day. 5 days fasting every three months etc. I had infinite energy for endurance but not for competition. I could run continuously almost the whole day and hardly grasp a food, just water but it never allowed me to compete in something else, just ultra. Life is more than ultras. You know, if you needed lots of carbs like you said, you were training wrong.

[@Kernoe]

absolutely thanks you. I got rid of my asthma with low carb. after 34 years of inhaling twice a day. The multi billion dollar industry against sugar. 😂 the best joke i heard in a decade. It is totally the other way around. I would like to see the invoice he got for that speech. 😂

[@AcidOdyssey]

This is 9 years old now. He did just say the brain only runs on glucose... But it also runs on ketones..

[@yvettep1093]

This is bull. I cycle on an ebike for about two hours a day and am still obese. Sure, an ebike makes commuting 20 miles a day easier for me but I still pedal and make an effort. I have to starve to lose weight.

[@aidanrodriguez7522]

He’s not saying obesity specifically, but metabolically healthier

[@immers2410]

Eat less. If that doesn’t work, eat even less. Keep decreasing calories until you are consistently losing weight.

Cycling is not walking.

[@greghandel8415]

Cycling is great for building some endurance, and strength, losing weight amounts to burning more calories than you eat. Your health comes from eating clean non-processed foods.

[@jordanl5341]

The moist noises his mouth makes when he speaks are horrible

Agreed. I couldn’t finish the video unfortunately but will look for other videos on the topic. Yuck.

parabéns

[@andrewcorley847]

Wow. So uninformed. He shouldn’t be speaking publicly. Just because he doesn’t know of the evidence that excessive carbs lead to metabolic disease doesn’t mean the evidence doesn’t exist.

[@kptrzk9398]

His premise is that reduced mitochondrial density and function will lead to the metabolic issues described. The studies that show excessive carbs lead to metabolic diseases generally use sedentary subjects (already likely to have developed metabolic conditions). Can you demonstrate that subjects with highly dense and highly functioning mitochondria develop the same metabolic diseases caused by an excess of carbohydrate intake?

[@m.a.c1379]

This guy is the head of performance planning of the UAE cycling team , which counts within it's roster with the two time winner of the Tour de France, Tadej Pogačar. This guy knows his field.

[@Rafas216]

Sim Andrew, você é um primata, mas se comer bananas vai ficar doente.... WOW kkkkkkk.

[@joang.8735]

In my 30s and 40s I jogged 5 days a week and went to the health club and did weight training, and when I ate more than a salad and a slice of bread per day, I gained weight. Exercise had to be accompanied by near starvation to keep off weight. So this speaker's idea does not fit my experience.

[@Rafas216]

Provavelmente você se alimentava várias vezes ao dia e comia depois das 19:00 horas, isso causa resistência à insulina e acumulação de gordura corporal. Basta comer duas ou no máximo 3 refeições por dia, fazendo a maior de manhã e jantando cedo. O Jantar deve terminar antes das 18:00 e ser pequeno.

[@evanhadkins5532]

It may be carbs (= starch, sugar)
