Join experts Tim Noakes, a sports science pioneer, and Phil Maffetone, a doctor focusing on heart rate training, as they challenge conventional carb-centric dieting for athletes. They discuss how fat oxidation fuels endurance when carbs deplete. Dive into the critical role of the brain in setting limits and the dangers of insulin and sugar addiction in modern diets. Unpack the shifting understanding of nutritional needs, emphasizing that low-carb, high-fat diets could redefine athletic performance and health.
