Скачать или смотреть December 22, 2025 Update: Carbs Aren’t the Enemy: Why Low-Carb Diets Kill Performance

Carbohydrates have been demonized in the fitness world for years—but if you train hard, that mindset may be killing your performance and recovery.

In this video, I break down research from Examine.com reviewing a study on elite endurance athletes comparing:

High-carbohydrate diets

Ketogenic (low-carb) diets

The performance impact of caffeine

👉 The results were clear: athletes eating enough carbohydrates improved VO₂ max, moved faster at lower heart rates, and recovered better than those restricting carbs.

I also share:

Why caffeine is still the best pre-workout

Why extreme diets (keto, carnivore, vegan) often backfire for athletes

How low-carb dieting can impair recovery and training adaptations

When low-carb might make sense—and when it absolutely doesn’t

This conversation is about sports performance, not medical treatment. If you train hard and want to perform better, this is information you need to hear.
