18.01.2022 It’s time to get healthy so you decide to go keto, paleo etc. ..and that means cutting the carbs because that’s going to improve your energy, help you lose some of that belly fat and help you exercise better. Keto, Paleo and similar diets YES, they all have some great health benefits but only when they are done correctly. Just like any other diet restricting whole food groups long term is unsustainable for most people and there are also many dangers, including nutrient defici...ency, muscle glycogen depletion, catabolism and metabolic disturbances. I often work with clients who have been keto, paleo or low carb for a very long time. And initially, they felt great. Often because they cut out the crap (processed carbs). But when you are not replacing those carbs with nutrient-dense foods (good carbs ) then before you know it, nutrient deficiencies you already had before restricting carbs are worsened and you begin to deplete others. In Australia adults already don’t eat enough nutrient-dense carbs (vegetables and legumes) less than 2% of adults in Australia eat the minimum 6 servings of veggies per day. Self-prescribing a low carb high-fat diet like keto, following bloggers online recommendations of just loading up on bacon, butter, meat and eating even fewer veggies since the few veggies you normally eat doesn’t fit into your 30-50g of carbs per day. Now add training and energy is worsened. Now carbs are an ESSENTIAL macronutrient in EVERYONE diet. Restricting carbs to such low quantities has a major impact on your energy, recovery, blood sugar levels, training performance, recovery, sleep, hormones And those with low thyroid being low carb can worsen it. How much carbs you need to eat each day, is determined by a number of variables and isn’t the same each day. Training goals Fat loss goals Hormones Daily energy expenditure Metabolic flexibility The only type of carbs you should be restricting is the CRAP carbs like sweets, muffins, pastries, refined bread, refined grains, refined sugar maybe start there??

14.01.2022 Can Smiling Make You Faster? BY LANDRY BOBO When you smile and you’re happy, you can trigger the mind to not feel your legs. Eliud Kipchoge There he was, the first man ever to run a marathon under 2-hours, smiling the whole way. The crowd lining the streets roared as Eliud Kipchoge achieved what was once thought to be impossible. ... After such an accomplishment, who wouldn’t be smiling? But there is more to Kipchoge’s smile than just the joy of success. There is a convincing argument that your facial expression can have a significant effect on your performance. Perhaps the stoic expression adopted by many professional cyclists isn’t just a poker face designed to trick the competition. Maybe adopting a calm expression while exercising can actually make you faster. The idea that facial expressions can change the way you feel has been around for a long time. In the 1800s, Charles Darwin proposed that a facial expression can intensify your feelings, whereas suppression of a facial expression will lessen your emotions. This idea was dubbed the Facial-Feedback Hypothesis (FFH). The basis of this hypothesis is that your facial expression plays a causal role in how you experience emotions. There are several different sub-categories of the FFH, but the one that has gained the most traction is the modulation theory, which supposes that our expressions can either amplify or suppress our feelings. The FFH is an exciting prospect for athletes. Can we truly change the way we feel simply by changing our facial expression? It would certainly seem so. From the mid-1900s to the present day, multitudes of studies have affirmed the FFH. As most athletes know, going hard hurts. For endurance athletes, it’s often those who can dig the deepest and push past their comfort zone that are the most successful. Physiologically, studies have shown that there is a close link to the mood of an athlete and biological markers. Review of literature has shown a close link in the onset of blood lactate accumulation and a decrease in positive affect. In other words, when an athlete begins to push over their lactate threshold, their mood becomes more ne

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other agencies around the world have one clear, concise, definitive recommendation: Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds.

13.01.2022 Cost-benefit analysis: alternate-day fasting alternate-day fasting WRITTEN BY Cassie Shortsleeve... DATE 20.11.2019 How it impacts sleep, fitness, and hunger levels In Cost-benefit analysis, experts explain whether the pros of widely adopted health trends outweigh the consor vice versa. The trend: alternate-day fasting (ADF), a form of intermittent fasting (IF) in which you eat during a 12-hour period every other day The costs: According to a new study, its hard to make up for a full days worth of calories during such a short eating window. The researchers found that when healthy people followed ADF for four weeks, they ate 35 percent fewer calories overall. Because of this lack of fuel, ADF can cause muscle loss, says Helen Kollias, Ph.D., director of science at Precision Nutrition in Toronto. Living in a semi-starved state limits tissue growth, she explains, so if youre training for a race or trying to build strength, ADF will likely set you back. Unless you typically train fasted, exercising on food-free days could leave you feeling irritable, anxious, and low on energy, adds Lauren DeLuca, Tier X coach and certified sports nutrition specialist at Gold Coast in Chicago. Headaches could also become the norm. Those effects are compounded by the fact that ADF can hamper the most restorative type of recovery: REM sleep, the deepest phase. This is in part because a healthy sleep-wake cycle depends on consistent mealtimes. DeLuca recommends against ADF if youre trying to run faster or lift heavier, or if you have a history of disordered eating. Women should never practice it when pregnant or nursing, she notes, since they need consistent calories in both scenarios. Science suggests fasting may lead to irregular menstrual cycles or stop them altogether. This could be especially true if you abstain from food for an entire day at a time. The benefits: ADF could help you drop pounds if youre overweight, though simply cutting calories will have similar effects. The fact that it limits tissue growth means it could be successfully applied to cancer patients, to limit cancer cells growth. #staystrongbrisbane

09.01.2022 Out there this morning. Before the sun is out and before the heat ...

09.01.2022 Your attitude matters. No matter the scenario, it always comes down to attitude in everything you do (and that goes beyond workouts). If you let yourself become discouraged by working out at home, you can inadvertently set yourself up for a crappy session. People often feel workouts at home are inferior to workouts at the gym, but attitude can make or break your success, especially now. For example, instead of "at-home workouts," Ive been referring to my athletes routines a...s "flex phases," to encourage a positive mindset. Theyre still on a plan thats aligned with their goals, were still able to measure progressthe only thing thats changed is the location. Why flex? Think "flexible and creative," like using household objects in your routine, for example. M + A = S. Putting those two factors togetheremphasizing your mind-muscle connection and having a positive attitudeis absolutely a recipe for success. The location of your workout doesnt matter nearly as much as how you approach challenges with a positive outlook. Treat this time as an opportunity to learn about yourself, connect even more with your body, and believe that you can still perform to the best of your abilities. Challenging situations build strong people. Youre going to feel way more successful if you choose to give your absolute best right now rather than not trying at all. And when we can finally all hit the gym once again, youll be that much stronger, both physically and mentally.

02.01.2022 CAN YOU MAKE A CHANGE ? What separates champions from everyone else is the willingness to do what they are worst at. This is true for your health too! How big is the problem?... This might be the biggest problem holding endurance athletes back from achieving their goals. It’s fun to do the things we are good at, particularly when we have limited time available to ride bikes or run on trails. It’s fun to ride the mountain bike trails where we know every line and every berm. It’s more fun to do the strength training exercises you have the most expertise with and that make you feel strong. And it’s more comfortable to continue eating the way you are right now or following the dysfunctional sleep routine you have now. Nobody wants to do the things they suck at, and that’s a problem. The bigger problem is the disparity between what you’re best at and what you’re worst at. The more time you spend only doing the training or following the habits you’re best at, the worse you get at all the other things you’re not doing. As this gap widens, your overall ability to be a successful athlete declines dramatically. You don’t have to be the absolute best at every aspect of your sport. However, in order to maximize the impact of your greatest strength you have to be at least proficient, competent, and good at the other aspects of the sport.
