103 | Low Carb Vs High Carb. New Research in 2022
Get leaner and improve your performance by eating more fat and fewer carbs. Want to improve your finishing time? Eat whatever you want. Those are the results I (Dr Will O’Connor) found during my PhD. I had thirteen athletes, men and women, eat both low and high-carb diets for four weeks. I tested their performance over five hours after a carbohydrate load. I considered my study design the best-case scenario for low-carb fat-adapted athletes to outperform high-carb athletes: chronic adaptation and ultra-endurance performance with a carbohydrate load and carbohydrate supplementation.
In this episode, Dr Matt and I discuss my new publication and its implications for your low-carb self-experiments.
