Manage episode 500360377 series 3305051
đ„đŹ KETOGENIC ADAPTATION, CARBS & PERFORMANCE â WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS âĄ
Prof Paul Laursen talks with Dr Matthew Carpenter about what changes (and what doesnât) when endurance athletes go low-carb and stay there. We get into insulinâs rapid drop, the early-week training dip, the liverâs âsmall glucose pool,â and why a simple pre-start carb hit can still move the needle, even when youâre fat-adapted.
Inside this episode:
đ Insulinâs rapid drop when switching to low-carb diets
đ„ How Fat oxidation takes over & why performance may dip week 1
đ Carbohydrate feeding strategies: when they help even for ketogenic athletes
