Alright fellow LCHFers, can someone please outline it to me in relatively simple terms in regards to taking carbs around lifting/training/gameday?
Apologies for the massive noob post, but I would really appreciate any feedback as I have no one to talk/discuss lchf to besides this board and all the human bio jargon on articles just go over my head defs not my strong point, would even rather deal with numbers and formulas!

Here is the FAQ for TKD from reddit.com/r/ketogains. User darthluiggi has a wealth of knowledge on the subject and has been keto for 12+ years.
 
Dinner with girl on Sunday night, she mentions that her PT has advised her she doesn't eat enough carbs and she should be eating a bowl of pasta after every workout(!).
Within 3 seconds, and without me saying a thing, she says "I can tell by the look on your face you disagree".

I was very polite but the implication that said PT knew SFA about carb requirements was fairly clear on my part. FFS she wasn't a multiple high intensity workout per day type, I had no idea what PT could have been thinking?

Because most PT's think carbs are our only source of energy & they like to keep some weight on their clients to keep them coming back!
But regardless of what a PT suggests, it doesn't stop the individual from doing some research themself.

I would think it could only realistically be one or the other, not both. Ignorance or ulterior motives. Generally the former.

So are the PA players following the same diet as Burgess w/ 150g carbs per day and more on training/game days? He said Keto was for only a few players no?

Hope Burgess is willing to give more info in future

Wasn't that Gazza's method? LCHF during the week, simple carbs pre & during game?

He's very meticulous - I've heard reports he would sometimes sneak in a midnight training/recovery session at KP after a day game :eek:

I haven't actually heard much about Gazza's method, just seen some instagram pictures and that's about it really. How low is LC though and how much does he raise carbs by on gamedays?

So many questions.

Some Geelong guys might know better than me but he was at the club at midnight post game day for rehab work, not so much training. Joel Selwood is another who has been known to go to the beach at midnight for recovery, which is one thing that Bomber Thompson mentioned recently about the professionalism of the Essendon players.
 
How about Philadelphia cream cheese? I noticed yesterday it is very low in carbs and sugar.

How does fetta rate?
Love my fetta.
 
There is a show on ABC tomorrow night at 9:30 called "the men who made us fat". I think that's what it's called.

I've only seen the previews, but I thought it was interesting because at one stage one of the speakers mentions "they took away all of the fat, and instead replaced it with sugar". Should be interesting!
 
Hi guys,

I have a family friend who has had a history of high cholesterol. Conventional medicine has also led her to a reliance on cholesterol lowering medication (at very high doses) and a low fat high carb diet. Over dinner I told her I wanted to try and wane her off her meds and get her on a more beneficial diet.

Is there a documentary or article that provides concise information with evidence of the benefits of a LCHF lifestyle and that debunks the conventional wisdom surrounding cholesterol?

Cheers

http://eatingacademy.com/nutrition/the-straight-dope-on-cholesterol-part-i
part 1 of 9 and pretty intense reading

or there's the doco that the heart foundation made the ABC remove




or for a ridiculously simplified explanation of fats and cholesterol check out this vid from Dr Oz (former saturated fat skeptic) from about the 2:20 mark

If you're going to watch that, you better watch the Media Watch critique too: http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s3888657.htm

Yeah I knew that had been pulled from iView

Problem with the media watch critique is it doesn't debunk any of the science or asertions, only the bona fides of their specialists. Problem with that is no authoritative doctor/surgeon/professor is willing to stand up and risk having their funding cut.

The most important passage of which is

The first episode discussed whether or not saturated fat consumption caused heart disease. This episode was called ‘dietary villains’. It had nothing whatsoever to do with statins. The internal review found that this episode contained no errors. (Yet still it is being taken down?)

When you get down to it, the judgement is that there was a single breach. Represented thus:

‘The program’s treatment of use of statins in secondary prevention focused solely on mortality benefits in a way that reinforced the view that statins were overprescribed and their benefits exaggerated. The principal relevant perspective that statins have wider benefits for this group was not properly presented. This perspective was necessary to a fair understanding of the pros and cons of statin use in this group.’

Turning this into English. What the committee believe they found was the second Catalyst program ‘Cholesterol drug war’ did not mention that statins have benefits on non-fatal outcomes e.g. non-fatal heart attack, and non-fatal stroke. By failing to mention this point it was judged that the program gave a misleading perspective on the overall benefits of statins (in secondary prevention).

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is that. Perhaps not quite the crushing indictment you thought. Now, you must remember that this committee was starting from scratch, knowing bugger all about the area of statins and heart disease. Given this, they didn’t do too badly. But on the point about non-fatal strokes and non-fatal heart attacks they failed to spot the Elephant in the room. An Elephant that I need to describe to you.
