Can Improve Your Health and Support Your Fitness Goals
If you have been following my blog covering the past 5 1/2 years I have been on an OFM diet, you know that Peter Defty was one of the driving forces that got me started eating low carb/high fat and coached me to a fitness state I never thought was possible for me. The following video, featuring Peter, is one of the best explanations of how fat adaptation works in athletes (I watched it 3 times!). If you are just now jumping on the keto train, this is a must-watch video to understand how your body is working and using the fuel you are giving it. They cover a huge range of topics and Peter does a great job of breaking very complex subjects down into more simple terms. Highlights: 13:00 ketones vs beta oxidation (an excellent primer on beta oxidation- much more coming on this very soon from Peter) 19:00 restoring glucose stores without taking in carbs & making glucose from fat 20:00 LDL cholesterol as energy packs (this is a newer subject that I am really looking forward to diving into) 22:00 strategic carbs (not all carbs are bad, even if you are 'keto') 24:00 need for aerobic exercise (building a base for your best athletic performance) 28:00 myth of salt and blood pressure 28:30 using carbs on keto diet 30:00 stress effects (as important as diet and sleep, in my opinion) 32:00 sleep 35:00 science studies vs real world 37:00 more detail on LDL 40:00 whole animal concept and portions 43:00 vegan or plant based diets (how to make it work on OFM) 44:00 winter is coming (how are the short days/long nights changing our bodies) 46:00 alcohol (holiday season is here, can I drink at parties?) 47:00 Vespa (I'm a huge fan of Vespa, Peter explains what it is and how it is helping athletes)
