      Thanks Lachlan. I hope it's still going well with the low carb. Please look into homa-ir test if you don't already know about it. It could be good to cover for your audience that may be also moving towards diabetes or prediabetes. Homa-ir shows how well your body is dealing with carbohydrates/sugars via the insulin response. It's important to understand this early on to prevent even reaching diabetic levels. A website called thebloodcode shows how to calculate it and explains about it. Sorry I can't explain it very well 😊

    Let’s be real, while it may be sufficient calories for the training goal and sport, this is an absolutely horrible diet. Regarding being fat adapted, it would require much lower carbs and longer fasting periods to truly get those adaptations. Those fasted morning zone 2 workouts will still have loads of glycogen to work off of.

  • @davidruttan713
    @davidruttan713 Před 10 měsíci +6

    The biggest problem of the many with this diet is the insufficient amount of fats to reduce the glycemic load. This is arguably even worse than the Standard American diet though.

    May not be the best diet nutrition wise, but it's nice to see you actually eat a good amount for your training. So many of my friends eat like a piece of toast for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and some pasta for dinner. So bad.

    Lachlan, Where are you getting your nutrition advice from? I nearly choked on my rolled oats when heard you talk about 3 bowls of corn flakes and all that bread. As a younger athlete you can pretty much get away with eating anything that provides you with enough energy, but the quality of micro and macronutrients is really important for aiding recovery.

    • @lachlanearnshaw
      @lachlanearnshaw  Před rokem +1

      Ive never received any nutrition advice I just eat what I feel like eating really.
      Ive never noticed any difference in recovery when following a cleaner diet vs just eating anything.
      I do try and still eat the basic fruits and vegetebales each day but when it comes to extra food on top of the basics ill just eat whatever is cheapest really.

      yes i was eating like him last year during my peak training (20-25h/week) and I noticed I was very fit but also started to lose muscle mass quite fast.
      This year I eat the same (I'd say a bit healthier than the video but not that much) but I count AT least 70g/prot per day. Target 100g/day. I avoid too much meat of any kind.
      The worst that can happen if you eat too much prot is that it converts into carbs which doesn't matter at all in IM training.

      Soy milk contains like 30g of protein per 1 litre, same for bread is like 30g of protein in 8 pieces. + cerials and other stuff, would say there is definitely enough of protein at least this day.

    This diet is all high GI carbohydrates, you basically ate cereal, and bread and soy milk all day. No protein, limited veggies and no wholegrains. Of course your sugar levels will go high and get pre diabetes. Now you have gone to an extreme of cutting all carbohydrates out instead of finding a middle ground and seeing a sports dietitian to get some advice. From one extreme of high GI carbs to NO carbs is not healthy either.

    The Scott Murray diet........and why on EARTH are you training 3 hours a day? You aren't going to get any benefit in conditioning beyond 1.5 hours a day max. You need to make the most of your time below that window and up the pace to get more out of it. This "long slow" and ultrarunning stuff is NONSENSE. If you don't believe me, take a look at real pro distance runners. They don't do more than 1.5 hours a day. Maybe 2 tops. And to be quite blunt about it, they supplement their testosterone, just to bring it up to normal levels. More than about 60 or 70 miles per week will DESTROY most men's T levels. Just trying to help bro.
