Episode 2845: Nancy Clark explores the polarizing views on carbohydrates in sports diets, highlighting how they can be both fuel for performance and a scapegoat for poor eating habits. She explains the science behind keto-diets, their pros and cons for athletes, and offers practical advice on finding balance with carbs to maximize health, performance, and enjoyment. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nancyclarkrd.com/2017/01/12/carbohydrates-yes-no-friend-foe/ Quotes to ponder: "Abundant research supports eating a sports diet based on grains, fruits, and vegetables—the wholesome kinds of sugars and starches that feed the brain and fuel the muscles during hard exercise." "Eliminating carbs eliminates a lot of nutrients that invest in overall good health. It also limits your ability to 'eat from the same pot' as your friends and family." "One sports diet does not fit everyone, and some say they are content in ketosis."
