[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2008618, member: 256617"] There have been some posts on sporting performance with carbs I would like to comment on. Many athletes are getting pre-diabetic numbers, I have read about runners and body builders. It would not be expected that those exercising for up to 5 hours a day could get to this state; even Ivor Cummins sponsor developed Type 2 an he was a fit man, running alot. Many top athletes are now training low and performing high (carbs on the day) such as Liverpool F.C and another undisclosed top six premier club. I was at a networking meeting today and an ex-rugby pro, turned business angel said Saracens do low carb; I know the NZ All Blacks do, and ashes winning Australian cricket teams. I could produce lots of examples as this is an area I follow. Even Chris Froome went low carb to lose weight (as if he had any) to improve his power to weight ratio, which he did. Low carb / keto athlete performance is much better on muscle recovery. But in general low carb / keto athletic performance has been well documented in the faster study by Volek and Phinney, lean gains, keto gains and many more resources. My personal experience is that I can easily do 3 miles, followed by a heavy weights 45 minute 700 calorie workout fasted until 15.00 - easily; carb fuelled athletes do not train like this. Interesting the off spring of the generations from 60 years ago now have a shorter life expectancy themselves, their children are more obese and suffer more behavioural and chronic diseases earlier - the prevalence of autoimmune diseases is also up.around. The convenience experience has helped fuel plastics, and we now know that drinking water from plastic bottles is not great. [/QUOTE]
