Was speaking to Dave V about nutrition where he mentioned 99% of his clients do not eat enough carbs, which he changes of course while working with them.
Seems so many think eating less means loosing weight which may be true but potentially will lead to loss of power with more importantly one's body will start dipping into protein stores for energy if the carb amounts are not there. This of course takes away from protein's main duty of repairing damaged tissue, a lose lose situation for an athlete.
Saw an article on a tiny village in Kenya which won 40% of International marathons last year, average diet of the runners consists of 70% carbs!!!
Eat up to fuel the body.
