Are you a Carnivore, Keto Carnivore or Low Carb Nutrient Dense based Athlete? Today Coach Debbie reviews various articles on strategic carb timing, carnivore levels, keto carnivore and a nutrient dense diet for athletes.   What is your experience with following a strict carnivore diet or keto carnivore?  How is your performance when working on speed work and racing? THE IMPACT OF CARNIVORE DIET ON YOUR ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE "A protein-rich carnivore diet is a form of elimination diet that entails the consumption of high-fat meat with zero plant foods. The research found that the carnivore diet affects muscle mass, strengthens muscles, and improves athletic strength [1]. Additionally, it lowers the risk of fractures and chronic fatigue as you age. Thus, most athletes adopt a carnivore diet because it's proven to lead to healthy bones and muscle benefits. In another research, endurance-trained athletes who were given three to four weeks to adjust to a low-carb or ketogenic diet could sustain 63% moderate and 90% of HIIT activity [2].  Another important thing I learned during my research is that athletic performance and the carnivore diet depend on how fat-adapted you are.  Being fat-adapted enables you to eat less and stay fuller for longer. This way, you work out for longer without feeling hungry mid-session." -https://carnivorestyle.com/carnivore-diet-for-athletes/ Articles: https://ofm.io/the-athletic-edge-optimized-fat-metabolism-versus-keto-hflc/ https://bradkearns.com/2022/10/14/14-highlights-of-the-ultimate-nutrient-dense-peak-performance-diet/ https://ofm.io/how-why-ofm-actually-enhances-carbohydrate-metabolism/ https://wildlumens.com/is-a-carnivore-diet-good-for-endurance-and-strength-athletes/ https://www.paulsaladinomd.co/resource/what-to-eat-on-a-carnivore-diet-your-carnivore-diet-meal-plan https://drbeckycampbell.com/oxalates-salicylates-histamine-intolerance/ https://www.carnivoredietmacro.com/ https://carnivorestyle.com/carnivore-diet-for-athletes/
