Carb Loading, Creatine, and Weight Gain - Ep. #72

We first get a quick update from Bob regarding the North Pole Marathon and then it’s time for another AUA (Ask Us Anything) episode to answer questions from you awesome listeners!  Questions we address: Does carb loading prior to a marathon negatively impact metabolic efficiency? How to stop weight gain as a female athlete in her 40s? What to do when hunger is heightened on recovery days or appetite is suppressed on exercise days? Are there any potential dangers for youth athletes using creatine? Send us your questions to [email protected] or DM us through our IG @isnpodcast or Facebook @insidesportsnutrition and we’ll get your question addressed on a future AUA episode.  Thank you to our episode sponsor, UCAN.
