FB #73 Low Carb High Fat for Women

Today we are again joined by Peter Defty to help share some insights into a topic that is extremely important to us as coaches, and valuable to all female athletes (and males) looking to become Fat Adapted.

Peter spends a great deal of time researching and understanding the various considerations required to achieve Fat Adaptation but one message remains clear: you have to keep it simple. We see A LOT of athletes overthinking this process - which becomes a huge distraction and destroy confidence.

So sit back, grab a cup and have a listen.

• A quick understanding into the different requirements between male and female athletes (not as obvious ays may think).


• Why it is more difficult (but NOT impossible) for female athletes to achieve a Zen state of Fat Adaptation.


• Some important things for females athletes to consider during their FA journey.


• The How, Why and When of strategic carb use & training loads for women during monthly cycles (this is SUPER important!).


• Some common mistakes that (all) athletes make during the Fat Adaptation process.


• Why counting macronutrients is a waste of time.


• We also discuss some key nutritional areas that are important to Vegan and Vegetarian athletes.


• Why Vitamin D is essential to ALL athletes.


• How and when to measure Ketones (if you decide you want to).
