Carbohydrate | Pros & Cons

Carbohydrate | Pros & Cons

Author: Pete Jacobs July 22, 2021 Duration: 33:20
The main point to remember throughout this podcast is that everyone has a different level of aerobic capacity, and everyday one individual can have a better/worse aerobic capacity  [tolerance to carbohydrates]. Everyone is different to everyone else, and everyone is potentially different to themselves each day also. I give a few examples that might help you solve an issue you've had, but if it does not make sense I can explain it personally to you so you can get the aerobic benefits of having increased oxygen all the time for better recovery, performance , less aches, more energy all day, lower health risks, less excess weight and so many other potential improved symptoms. If you want to feel better, contact me here and set up an consultation for health and fitness gains https://liveyourownfithealthandperformance.practicebetter.io/#/5ea248732a9c240a8cf8de6c/bookings?step=services   Carbohydrates CONS Carbohydrates are not essential. Carbohydrates replace more nutrient dense foods. Carbohydrates can lower your aerobic energy production more than other macronutrients. PROS Carbohydrates can increase perception of energy during exercise. --  Perception of energy -  - feeling safe - state of growth  - happy hormones - -relaxed -  efficient. Carbohydrates can assist in performance through energy production during exercise.   1 . What problem are you trying to solve?   During exercise?   Improve health? i.e. low aerobic capacity & nutrient deficiencies?       How much can you handle depends on how aerobic you are?     Have you ever not taken carbs during a race because of fear, or out of spite or dogmatism?  Listen here to learn how to approach life and carbs with a more rational thinking process.    

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.
