Ilia makes a great point here. Protein is absolutely neccesary, let's just get that out of the way. But way too many people underestimate carbohydrates. Or are scared of them. When it comes to performance, carbs are king. You want to be faster? Carbs before training. You want to... show more

McDonald’s is the key to performance.

He’s right — the real problem is that most people eat too many carbs. Either they eat far more than they need, or they aren’t active enough to match what they ate.

Yep. And usually their "carb" choices are not good. You'll have someone eating donuts look you dead in the eyes and say "I'm carbing up bro"

Don’t be afraid of carbs. If you want to perform in the gym, you need fuel around training. First meal, pre-workout, and post-workout are three of the most important meals of the day.

✔️You need fuel going into your training sessions or early practices. If you’re not willing to wake up early or have a crack of dawn training session I have a tip for you!! ✔️Another way to prevent low energy for those early sessions is pre-sleep protein + carbs!! I’ve addressed this with a lot of our soccer, baseball, and basketball athletes lately. ⭐️Be sure to grab some protein + carbs after training to refuel and repair 💪

Cancer is 100% preventable and reversible. I have written this hundreds of times. • Eliminate refined carbs • Fasting & autophagy fasting • Resistance training & HIITs (not gym aerobics) But most of you are stubborn and rude. You don't want to change. #FoodFriday

It’s amazing how much nutrition matters when it comes to fitness. I started working on fixing my diet a few months ago, which involved a) eating WAY more than I was before (currently I eat 2400 calories a day) and b) EATING SO MANY CARBS, including drinking carbs intra-workout -

Do you eat low carb? Do you want to instantly see how many carbs are in the meals and ingredients you eat, just by taking a picture? Or do you want to do the same with protein grams? HAVA is now even friendlier to people eating low carb or high protein!! This update is super convenient. With the press of a button, you can focus the app on carb grams, protein grams, calories, or fiber grams. And yes, you can also choose our game-changing SPC score. Not only this, but the app will automagically sort the ingredients by what you choose. So choose carbs and take a picture of a meal for a list of all ingredients and carb grams, with the highest-carb ingredient first. Same with protein, etc! This is super convenient, I love it. Make sure you have v 1.39.1 installed (it was released today). Please let me know what you think. See the video for how it looks. Just click on the number you want. Choose between kcal, net carbs, and fiber grams in the top right menu (OR... you can just long click on the kcal box to switch even faster). Download HAVA here. iPhone: Android:

The biggest mistake families make is thinking they need to cook separate meals. You don’t need different foods, you just need different portions. This is a one pan dinner with chicken thighs, potatoes, and green beans, and it feeds the entire family the right way without making things complicated. The athletes get more because they need more. More carbs, more protein, more calories to support training, growth, and recovery. The parents eat the exact same meal, just in smaller portions based on their goals. That’s how you make this sustainable long term. For the boys, this meal comes out to 975 calories with 81 grams of protein, 91 carbs, and 31 fats. For us, it’s around 425 to 470 calories with adjusted carbs and fats, but still keeping protein high. And yes, you can still have dessert. We just swapped it for a high-protein Greek yogurt option instead of junk. Same kitchen. Same meal. Different outcomes based on portions. This is how you fuel a household without overthinking it. 👉 If your athlete is training hard but still not seeing results, DM me. I’ll help you figure out what’s missing and how to fuel the right way. #Prosper #GoEagles #WalnutGrove #RockHill #Baseball #TexasAthlete

Most people associate carbohydrates primarily with fuel for training, and that is an important part of the story. But they also serve another important role: carbohydrates provide carbon, one of the basic structural elements your body uses to build tissue. Instead of being used only for energy, some of the carbon from glucose can be redirected into amino acids and other molecules involved in adding muscle. Put simply, carbs can help power the workout and provide raw material for the adaptation. I don’t recommend everyone consume carbs during training. Most people already have enough glucose and glycogen available for a typical session. The amount and timing should depend on whether you are trying to maximize performance and recovery or simply complete the workout while managing calories.

Strange: Tua Tagovailoa explains how his doctors are emphasizing carbs and water to prevent his constant concussions. "Your brain kinda sits in fluids. If I'm not eating carbs, when you drink water it'll kinda flush out of you, and you can't stay hydrated." Tua might already be gone 😵‍💫

This is a combination of policy, the government shutting out snack food with sugars, salts, and too many carbs. But when you go and teach a class of 20-somethings, as I do almost every week now, and ask them what they're eating, they don't eat snacks anymore. They are so fired up about eating foods that keep them healthy. They don't even drink anymore! This is getting insane. They don't eat any sugar, 'cause they think it causes cancer. They don't eat too many carbs. They try to get 128 grams of protein. I'm saying, "What happened to college?"

If you want to gain weight you are going to need to eat more kcal, protein, carbs, and drink more fluid. A 6’0 185 lb. Male athlete is going to need 6,000+ kcal, 200 g protein, 500 g CHO , 90 g+ of fat daily to gain muscle if they are training > 2 hours per day 7 days a week. (Often little rest days in those that reach out to us). A 5’9 135 lb female athlete is going to need anywhere from 2,500-4,000 kcal! Take one of our volleyball athletes for example who gained 15 lbs working with Wendi on her nutrition each week. Slowly increasing kcal, protein, and carbs! ✔️First track your kcal and know how much you are eating. Then add in another 300-500 kcal daily. Focus on being consistent. ✔️Gaining weight takes time. Too many try to eat too much too quick and either quit or end up gaining fat and not muscle.

28 Days without Carbs and I am actually struggling. I have realised that they are the primary source of energy and they are absolutely necessary. Without Carbs, I am unable to lift my heaviest best and I am leaving Gains on the table. I stand corrected. You people were right.

POLITICO: When you attack Europe, do you intend to send a message of tough love to our allies, or do you think that many of them are just weak and you don't want to be allies with them? TRUMP: I think they're weak, but I also think they want to be so politically correct. They should get the people out that came into the country illegally.

Do you think I can still get a pump with no carbs in my system? It’s my first peak week. My coach has me fully depleted of carbs to drain every last bit of glycogen before we reload. Wanted to see if I could still pull off one final pump session before the stage. Show’s this Saturday. I’m HYPE! 💪🏽 If you’re interested in 1 on 1 coaching, the link is in my bio.

3 days + 0 Carbs = 😰 My coach depleted me of all carbs this week to completely flatten me out before we refilled me up during peak week. Funny thing is, during this phase you actually look your worst right before you look your best on stage. I’ve never liked going fully no carb because it makes you look flat and stringy but that’s part of the process. The carb up that came after this changed everything! I’ll post that soon. 💪🏽 1 day out. Let’s finish strong. ⚔️

They said you need carbs for performance. They said you need carbs for muscle. They said you need carbs for a pump. They said you need to be hungry to get lean and lose weight. Why do I stay Carnivore? Because I realized I none of that is true. 3 weeks after the conclusion of my 4k SAD experiment I weighed in at the lowest weight I've been in over a year. 15lbs below my peak weight when I started my 4k Carnivore experiment. No issues with performance. No issues with muscle. No issues with a pump. No issues being hungry...ever. I think I'll stay Carnivore.

One of the funniest things I hear is that you need carbs to perform explosive type activities- that’s literally the stupidest argument in support of carbs for sports- High intense exercise lasting for hours is the best argument I’m 1 year shy of 60 years of age and have zero issue doing explosive stuff- and in fact I’d argue, due to the way a carnivore diet makes my joints feel, I can easily outperform those folks my age in most explosive type activities

Over the last few days, a few people have told me that the reason I still don’t have washboard abs is because I need to eat carbs. So over the last day or so, I’ve eaten a few more and feel like I’ve lost definition. As hard as I’ve been training them, they have to be in there somewhere. 😮‍💨
