FB #73 Low Carb High Fat for Women

Today we are again joined by Peter Defty to help share some insights into a topic that is extremely important to us as coaches, and valuable to all female athletes (and males) looking to become Fat Adapted. Peter spends a great deal of time researching and understanding the various considerations required to achieve Fat Adaptation but one message remains clear: you have to keep it simple. We see A LOT of athletes overthinking this process - which becomes a huge distraction and destroy confidence. So sit back, grab a cup and have a listen. In this Episode we cover: A quick understanding into the different requirements between male and female athletes (not as obvious ays may think). Why it is more difficult (but NOT impossible) for female athletes to achieve a Zen state of Fat Adaptation. Some important things for females athletes to consider during their FA journey. The How, Why and When of strategic carb use & training loads for women during monthly cycles (this is SUPER important!). Some common mistakes that (all) athletes make during the Fat Adaptation process. Why counting macronutrients is a waste of time. We also discuss some key nutritional areas that are important to Vegan and Vegetarian athletes. Why Vitamin D is essential to ALL athletes. How and when to measure Ketones (if you decide you want to). Show Sponsors: TriTravel.com.au Smith Optics Vespa Power
