<\/a>How many times have you come across someone who claims that carbohydrates are bad for you? \u00a0Many people seem to continue to believe that low or no carb diets (also known as\u00a0ketotic<\/em> diets) are still compatible with high level athletic performance. \u00a0Oddly enough, those “no-carb” preachers don't seem to win much, do they? \u00a0Are they on to something though?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. \u00a0The low carb myth is just that: a myth. \u00a0By exploring the physiology of energy production, you'll understand why. \u00a0You'll also understand why there are no highly successful high level ketotic athletes and how a ketotic diet will destroy your own performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

We'll tackle:<\/span><\/p>\n

• Different kinds of metabolism\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
• Fuels for different kinds of metabolism<\/span><\/li>\n
• Studies cited by no-carbers as proof of ketotic diet performance (and we'll debunk them as well)<\/li>\n
• Debunking “high level no-carb” athletes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Low and no carb diets have been around for 20 years. However, recently they’ve become a fad for athletes, with some people very loudly proclaiming that they are the perfect diet for high level athletes. I’m here to bust that myth and show you why you should be eating your bagels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[116,106],"tags":[186,183],"yst_prominent_words":[456,505,2226,2222,2225,1776,2227,2224,2223,2228,2230,2231,712,504,507,437,2229],"wppr_data":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tailwind-coaching.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3093"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tailwind-coaching.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tailwind-coaching.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tailwind-coaching.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tailwind-coaching.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3093"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tailwind-coaching.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3093\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8103,"href":"https:\/\/tailwind-coaching.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3093\/revisions\/8103"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tailwind-coaching.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tailwind-coaching.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tailwind-coaching.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3093"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tailwind-coaching.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=3093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
