| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina. |
| 0:04.6 | Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I am so excited for today's episode. |
| 0:09.3 | We have a scientist with us today, Dr. Philip Prince, who's actually been studying low-carb performance. |
| 0:15.6 | And his research findings are absolutely fascinating. We talk about whether or not you can perform as well |
| 0:23.0 | being fat fueled and being on a low carbohydrate diet versus being on a high carb diet and |
| 0:30.6 | being glucose fueled which is basically the dogma in sports nutrition is that you |
| 0:36.2 | will not perform well without carbs and his research |
| 0:39.4 | has been really proving quite the opposite. So I am super excited to get into today's episode with |
| 0:45.8 | Dr. Prince. I know many of you enjoy sports are athletic and athletically minded or you are just |
| 0:53.8 | interested in having a greater health span, |
| 0:57.0 | avoiding getting pre-diabetes and obesity. |
| 1:00.0 | We talk about all of these topics on this episode today and some really fascinating aspects of sports nutrition, |
| 1:07.0 | including what he found about athletes who were on high-carb diets and how he found that they |
| 1:12.7 | had extremely high average blood glucose levels showing pre-diabetes or even diabetes in these |
| 1:20.4 | athletes, which completely goes against what I think many people believe is that if you are |
| 1:25.2 | eating a very high-carb diet or a high-carb diet and you are an athlete, it's that if you are eating a very high carb diet or a high carb diet and you are an |
| 1:28.9 | athlete, it's fine because you are burning off all of that glucose from your activity. And yet it |
| 1:36.4 | looks like that may not actually be true. And this is, I think, really, really fascinating information. |
| 1:42.8 | So I can finally have research studies proving that being fat-fueled or doing a low-carb diet |
| 1:50.0 | will not impair your athletic performance. |
| 1:53.0 | And I'm so excited to talk to the researcher who has actually looked at this in his studies in particular. |
| 2:00.4 | So I hope that you're going to get a ton of takeaways from today's episode with Dr. Prince. |
