Summary

Jesse Kropelnicki and Steph Lowe discuss LCHF for triathletes and endurance athletes. This interview highlights that there's not just one way to skin a cat with LCHF. Different triathletes will fall on different points on the spectrum of LCHF. The approaches of Jesse and Steph differ mostly in that Jesse prescribes a train-high, race-high approach, whereas Steph prescribes training low and racing moderately high. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: Steph's approach to LCHF (low-carb, high-fat diets): real food, avoid extremes, and train low, race high Jesse's nutrition approach: "unprescribed LCHF" (less focus on macronutrients) in day-to-day nutrition, with train high (and train the gut), race high. Potential benefits of LCHF for endurance athletes. LCHF versus "clean eating" and non-LCHF with unprocessed foods Myths and misunderstandings around LCHF How the race-course is the world's best lab for testing nutrition strategies and verifying that they work SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts147/ THAT TRIATHLON SHOW HOMEPAGE: www.thattriathlonshow.com SPONSORS: Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration.

0:01.6	They're good to get you point in a direction or to make you think about something in a different way.
0:07.5	But, you know, reality is always the best lab that we have.

0:34.3	Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon Show, the podcast

0:46.8	Jesse Kropolnicki and Steph Lowe on the topic of low-carb, high-fat, or LCHF and nutrition for endurance athletes and triathletes.
0:58.0	So we'll get into a lot of things as it pertains to LCHF and we'll see the spectrum of LCHF that exists,

1:58.4	If you are going to Kona, then definitely electrolytes will be one of the key parts of your
