Seems to be a popular topic at the moment. Tim Spector’s ‘Food for Life’ book talks about keeping food natural and diverse e.g 30 different veggies a week. Reading the ingredients can be quite scary. Seems a complete contrast to the cycle/fitness industry where we consume gels and powders, all ultra processed foods.
That was interesting… nutrition has to be the most complex part of this sport… what to eat vs what not to eat… now I gotta throw away all my gels… 😂😂🙌🏽
Haha…it gets so complex man. I’d keep the time frame in mind though. You and I aren’t doing three week events, and we won’t be constantly slamming multiple gels down for 5-6 hours a day. Personally for me I feel like I need to be better at getting those complex carbs in regularly. The riders that did that and came into sample point A with the bacteria associated with those carbs did best. But it’s hard for me to let go of my potato chip addiction 😅
Are you gut-doping?🤔
This was good stuff. I appreciate the effort you put into this👍🏾
Thanks! I appreciate that a lot. Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch 🙏🏾
As I am rebuilding my gut health. With guidance from a doctor and i ride. This is cool to see. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
good information...luckily its foods I have always used in my diet, but I'm glad they did the study to confirm
I need to be better. Too much potato chips, cookies and croissants post ride 🥲
carbs FTW!
ps the preservatives in the gels are BAD for you. The sugar is essential.

For sure! re: super processed foods. I’m going to look into that book. Thanks for the recommendation!
Also informative is the twins study doco on Netflix- you are what you eat. Tim Spector is also in that
And I’m literally eating a glazed donut with my coffee as I read this 😭 I’ll throw some veggies in later today to make up for it lol
good watch
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking time out of your day to check it out.
