Burn Fat During Exercise | Podcast with Peter Defty from Vespa

Author: Pete Jacobs June 17, 2020 Duration: 1:46:30

Nobody knows how to burn fat during exercise like Peter Defty. He knows intricately how your body burns fat during exercise and how to optimize fat metabolism. In this podcast we talk about all things a low carb diet can help improve, and how aerobic adaptation through exercise helps everyone’s health and endurance.

He was/is a pioneer & innovator in the area of 'fat-adapted' health and performance decades ago and specialises in endurance athletes using fat for fuel.

He is General Manager of Vespa PowerProducts and personally tests and uses all the products and methods he recommends for great fat burning benefits during exercise. He has also worked with hundreds of athletes in the development of the Optimized Fat Metabolism (OFM) program.

We have a great conversation where Peter gives us so much information about how to approach all endurance sports, especially those in warmer conditions like Hawaii Ironman, for fuelling and hydration. There is so much great information in this podcast.

Finding a sustainable path to better health often feels like navigating a maze of conflicting advice. Live Your Own Fit | LYF Performance cuts through that noise with grounded conversations led by Pete Jacobs, a World Ironman Triathlon Champion, and his wife Jaimielle. This isn't just about extreme athleticism; it's about the practical, balanced choices that build a resilient life. You'll hear discussions that connect the dots between nutrition, daily movement, and the mental frameworks needed to stick with it. Pete naturally draws from his own journey to the pinnacle of endurance sports, not to prescribe a champion's regimen, but to share the broader lessons on mindset and perseverance that apply to anyone. The podcast operates on the principle that true fitness is deeply personal-it's the energy to keep up with your kids, the clarity to focus at work, and the vitality to enjoy your days. Each episode offers a blend of personal anecdotes, actionable lifestyle tips, and thoughtful dialogue aimed at helping you define what performance means in your own life. Tune in for a refreshingly honest take on building health from the ground up, where the goal is lasting well-being, not just a temporary fix.
