| 0:00.0 | Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter. |
| 0:12.2 | All right, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers |
| 0:15.4 | podcast. I'm your host, Zach Bitter, and today I have a guest interview for you. |
| 0:20.7 | Today's guest is Dr. Dan Ploos. Dr. Ploos is actually a |
| 0:24.6 | return guest. He was on, it may have even been a few years ago at this point, at least a couple |
| 0:28.9 | years ago, and we talked about just his understanding and take on low carbohydrate endurance. |
| 0:36.3 | So I want to head if Dr. Ploos back on to chat about some of the |
| 0:40.4 | updates that we've seen over the years or the things he's learned or seen that differ |
| 0:45.1 | or add to what we talked about in that other episode. And even maybe a little more specifically, |
| 0:51.2 | it was a bit timely in the sense that there was a study just released. |
| 0:55.9 | I did a episode on it was episode 341 called New Study Questions, Low Carbohydrate Performance |
| 1:02.4 | Deficit. So I wanted to hear what he thought about that. If he saw any limitations or anything |

| 1:13.3 | my take on some things where I thought maybe there were some limitations or what we would see |
| 1:17.4 | if we would actually stretch it out longer versus what questions maybe it did answer, which I think |
| 1:24.0 | is just a good way to maybe look at anyone's study because ultimately these studies can only address a certain number of questions. And a lot of times they're going to have to |
| 1:32.0 | leave other questions off the table or in a lot of cases actually generate new questions. So |
| 1:36.3 | you don't always walk away feeling like you gained the end all be all answer to anything with |
| 1:42.0 | some of this stuff. But interesting nonetheless. So if you're interested, check out that episode. I talked to Dr. Dan about that as well as a |
| 1:48.8 | bunch of other things. So for those of you who want to know a little bit about Dan's background, |
| 1:52.7 | Dr. Dan pluse is an applied sports scientist. He has a PhD in exercise physiology. He's a researcher |
| 1:59.3 | and endurance coach. He has a researcher and endurance coach. |
