That's good coaching. Coaches push you, but at the right amount. It sometimes feels like they're dressing you down, but only bad ones actually do that (dress down with constantly too much pressure and/or the wrong coaching). Good ones (even military drill instructors, though especially them), their "dressing down" is intended to keep just the right amount of motivational pressure on you. Just like that muscular burn when you're working out: it's not feeling good, and you'reuncomfortable, but it IS good you just gotta push through it.
Thank you very much and I appreciate all your videos. They are very informative and presented in a simple way. Keep doing what you are doing and inspiring more and more cyclists.
Before watching this channel I did stick to scheme 'some carbs per hour when on a bike' and had bonked several times having too long breaks. After watching some videos here I tried to take in some carbs every 15-20 minutes and boy, it appears I'm able to steadily go for hours and don't feel exhausted after ride (sure, refuelling myself properly after ride). That really made a huge difference. Thanks for advice!
I follow a low carb diet and intermittent fasting, this brings down insulin resistance and trains the body to burn fat which is a much more plentiful source of energy, I eat nuts and banana at 10am and then a salad at lunch with cheese, eggs and either fish or some left over meat from the previous nights dinner like a piece of roast chicken, then i have dinner at 6pm which is a good quality meat, or fish with green veg and butter, i only use butter or ev olive oil, i avoid grains, rice, pasta, bread and if i have a snack in the afternoon it's an apple or some almonds i avoid food after 6pm so i can get 16 hours of fasting to bring down the insulin level, this diet has me loosing fat whilst gaining muscle again at 54 and my power is now back up to levels i hit 10 years ago when i was doing 5 x the training time, my eyesight has also improved and my hair has stopped going grey and the tooth decay has gone, if i cut myself i heal in heal in a couple of days again. be careful eating for more than 8 hours a day as it can lead to insulin resistance and the human body is not built for this pattern, the issue many people probably face is too little fat and quality meat protein and toxic processed food.
I am about 15 years younger than you but I follow the same protocol and it works great. Just by cutting out all refined sugars and ultra-processed "food", and sticking to real food and 2 or 3 meals per day, will enable fat adaptation, drive up growth hormone, keep blood sugar steady, and many other things. It really is that simple: eat real food, avoid snacking.
Low carb plant based I can understand...high meat diets are not good for long-term health.. The low carb community is full of misinformation. ie butter good vegetable oil bad ...the science says the opposite... The meat industry is investing 💰 millions to promote meat heavy diets. Just look at the mortality rate of health influencers that die you...plant chomper has done some videos on this topic... Take care Cheers 👍
@@lisagreenberg5020 There's only one cause for insulin resistance: glucose. It exists in sugar and carbs, keep those to a minimum, no insulin resistance.
It’s worrying how other cycling channels are pushing rediculous carb per hour supplements that amazingly match what a sponsor says. I will say cycling has screwed my eating, it’s taking really hard effort to getting back on track. Real food, regularly (the regularly part is my biggest problem) thanks for not selling me a fix it powder.
I've found dried figs are perfect for me, they make no mess in your pockets, last a while and a ton of nutrients Inc fibre. Making homemade oat and peanut butter flapjacks with mashed banana as binder instead of oil in another good strategy to keep topped up on good whole food carbs and protein.
You’re correct. Don’t be surprised if you get tons of comments like “I rode 100 miles without any carbs” or “do your research… go carnivore!” or “carbs aren’t a necessary nutrient.” That’s all I ever see on my channel if I’m caught eating (gasp!!) an apple or something like that. I think you’re correct.
5 times a day.. sounds like diabetes material. I do two meals a day, zero carbs. 4 hour hard rides with no eating during and never bonk, I enjoy those.
No it doesn't. Did you take in what was said? It will help stabilize your glucose. Obviously you eat nutrient rich food so I'm not sure why diabetes would have anything to do with it.
If you watch this with the sound muted you kinda look like a mix of Marcel Marceau and a tiny Scotsman who cudny lift a Grifter erra fence. I am the president of The Tupper Obree Wheelers And Shunters Club and I challenge you to a duel at dawn - The Serpentine big ring challenge. Loser (you) buys the fish suppers and coke. Also rum truffles from THE ELECTRIC BAKERY in Montague St Rothesay. How do I know you will be the loser ? - Because your wee tiny hands are not big enough to grab my back wheel on the descent.
I used to be you, but then life changed as I got older. And I realized everyone else's pain in how easy it was to get fat. Your state is a blessing in disguise, actually. You need to be eating MORE but of nutrient-rich foods. I'll bet despite having trouble gaining weight that you still have a fair bit of fat on you. That fat is not dense (less weight per volume). If you burn off that volume in exchange for the same volume of muscle, you'll see a weight gain and no change in your size. Lifting will help tremendously with muscle mass gain. Start doing weight lifting off the bike that targets your quads (for power), your glutes (biggest muscle in the body and necessary for stability on the bike), pectorals, triceps, and core (also stability, and so you don't have disproportionate skinny cyclist arms 😂). Also back muscle exercises for stability and increased reduction in vertebral rotation and restriction (the discomfort you go to a chiropractor to treat). Also, I think you can identify with Coach Scott more than you realize. Look at him. He's a tiny, skinny twig! Pretty sure he's had issues putting on weight too.
Hey coach, I'm fucked. need your help to get back on track. I've spent €5.5k on a giant advanced propel, ran a marathon 2 years ago, but cant be consistent for fucks sake on anything. even stopped drinking for 510 days. lets have a chat. never been so fat. wtf.
Hmm... eat 5-6 time - nonsense, sorry, this guy probably never had issues with body weight, he is talking nonsense. Our body didn't build to eat constantly all day - do you think our ancestors (thausands years) was eating all day???, they have shops and food on every corner...???
He's not talking about eating a fish supper, then a cheese burger, then a bowl of ice cream, then a big dinner. It's eating little and often. It actually stabilises your blood sugar. It stops you getting hungry. Stops you eating 3 big meals per day. Our ancestors would have gorged on what they could kill, find etc . But we've kina moved on a bit from then 😂
@@TheKieran65 do you know how long insulin raise in blood keep circulating?, check literature, then think if you want always insulin - which block fat burn. Well, before taking check literature
Ancestors almost certainly ate for long periods because the bulk of their food came from low calorie plant foods which took a long time to actually pick and eat. Take a look at gorillas, apes and what not. But that's not really relevant because we have massive studies on human nutrition that show we regulate our own calorie intake naturally when eating whole plant foods. Eating fake processed foods and tons of meat make it less straightforward.
Don't forget to join my 5-Day Bulletproof Cyclist Challenge. Hope to see you there 😉

This channel is like seeing a police car in the rear view mirror - I’ve not done anything wrong, but I still feel like I’m being given a dressed down
True sorry 😂😂 - the vids are great fun though. Right mixture of seriousness and total mayhem.
Coach Scots bullet proof program works. I have dropped 10 pounds and eat more since joining his program.

There is many more reasons for insulin resistance than eating over 8 hours a day.

Works for some. Shite for others. You can't fuel your training by fasting though, that's for sure.
Stop beating around the bush lol I just had to be a smart ass. Keep up the content and I love how you just say it like it is.
Working from home has made it so much easier to eat more meals during the workday than just a quick breakfast and then a huge lunch at noon.
Awesome! Thanks
Makes so much sense!!!!!!

What are your favorite homemade ride snacks coach?
12 hours of eating, I can do that no problem 😂

Man I just don’t know about this. Doesn’t your digestive system need a break? Isn’t that good for you?
12hr not eating like he said is fine.....🎉
Can you just make 10 min videos, it works better with the algorithm

No it doesn't. Did you take in what was said? It will help stabilize your glucose. Obviously you eat nutrient rich food so I'm not sure why diabetes would have anything to do with it.
Where are you getting your fibre?
@@RuffRides I don't. It happens that fibre is not essential. It's indigestible and serves no purpose.
@@garyking508 Lol!
5 times a day but smaller meals. It's not diabetes material.

I struggle all my life to gain weight so I can't relate to this video.
