Yes, being vulnerable is part of your nutrition. Some people think nutritionist toolkits include: willpower (shhh it's overrated) chicken broccoli consistency (this is great but how do we get there?) MyFitnessPal (this database is incorrect and tracking calories is, in many cases, unhelpful) But it's so much more than that...
Nutrition Assumptions about High-Performing Athletes I, for one, assumed olympic nutrition and high-performing athletes was great, all the time. Many people assume this. The first time I saw a high-performing athlete break down and cry in my office, it surprised me. A few weeks prior to the crying, this person took on too many nutrition changes at once (the cardinal sin in nutrition coaching). It happen because I saw their status as an athlete. "Oh yeah," I thought to myself, "they are human." For years, I've got to witness athletes struggle to eat to...
The short answer is YES it works great if the calories are controlled, which they usually are because we can’t eat sugar, bread, rice, pasta, chips, candy, pop, or juice, on the Keto Diet. But being in ketosis doesn’t help us lose weight faster. It’s all about managing calories in and out. Let’s dive deeper. What is Keto? Keto is short for the ketogenic diet. It is an extremely-low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that forces the body to burn only fat for fuel instead of fat and carbohydrates. But again this doesn’t matter if the calories...
Athletes will do anything to get an edge. You may have heard of creatine and beta alanine, and believe it or not, that stuff you put in the fridge to absorb smells, Sodium Bicarbonate – baking soda – is also a performance supplement! It’s also used in science fairs to make volcanos explode… Sodium bicarbonate as it is known in science-talk, improves athletic performance particularly in high-intensity activities lasting 1-10 minutes. How Sodium Bicarbonate works Sodium bicarbonate works as a buffering agent in the body. Remember that “buffering” in science means neutralizing acids....
Our athletes want to win, and to be honest, we get a thrill from watching them win. They pay us to get a competitive edge. Beta-Alanine can certainly provide an advantage. But what’s with the tingling skin? Let’s get into who should take it, and what it does. Fact. Beta-alanine helps high-intensity athletes perform better. If that sounds like creatine, you’re close. They both help stuff like sprinting and Crossfit, but in very different ways. So don’t confuse the two. I will explain how it works and how much to take. How does...
