Simon Ward and Tom Hughes

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
