Today we have another guest returning to the show. This week it's Dr. Tom Hughes and in this episode we revisit the current hot topic of low carbohydrate/high fat and provide some practical tips on how to integrate it into your daily routine. You’ll discover:
- Sleep low: Why the elites do this anyway and how you can manipulate your training and nutrition to get the same benefits. How a sleep low strategy can have the same effect as 2-3 hours more training. What exactly is low energy status training?
- Not all carbs are bad! Why you should consume whole grains. The true meaning of “metabolic flexibility”.
- Why a chicken breast is processed food
- The hidden benefits of nutrient dense foods and how they help you avoid injuries and illness, and why your best performances come when you are healthiest
