s3/e22 Let's Talk About Low Carb Diets for Endurance Athletes with Holley Samuel, RD, MEd, CPT (@holleyfuelednutrition)

Let's talk about low-carb diets for endurance athletes! Sports dietitian Holley Samuel, RD, MEd, CPT (@holleyfuelednutrition) joins the show to talk about low carbohydrate approaches for endurance athletes. Good? Bad? Let's discuss!

  • Intentional vs unintentional carbohydrate restriction
  • The purported benefits of a low-carb approach; does it translate to performance gains?
  • The current state of the research on low-carb approaches for endurance athletes
  • What "fat burning"/being fat-adapted actually means
  • Is it the carb restriction or calorie restriction that creates the risk?
  • The limitations of the research and what we still don't know
  • The risks of a low-carb approach from a health perspective (especially for people with a history of disordered eating)
  • What about body composition?
  • The relationship between carbohydrate restriction and Low Energy Availability (LEA)/Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S)
  • What's going on with the small subset of (mostly male) athletes who seem to thrive for years on a low carbohydrate approach?
  • And more!
