In this video, I dive deep into my journey of transforming my race prep through a 90% meat diet and intermittent fasting. Over the past few months, I’ve changed my approach to nutrition and training, focusing on building a sustainable and performance-driven lifestyle. By cutting carbs, prioritizing protein, and embracing fasting windows of 16-20 hours, I’ve seen incredible changes not just in my body but also in my mental strength and race performance.
The shift to a protein-rich diet inspired by the Raramuri people has been a game changer for me. No longer dependent on carbs for energy, I’ve become "fat-adapted," allowing my body to efficiently burn stored fat for long-lasting energy during runs. This has helped me avoid energy crashes, recover faster, and push my endurance to new levels.
In this video, I discuss three key strategies that have made a huge impact on my race prep:
1. Simplified Nutrition
Transitioning to a carnivore-focused, protein-heavy diet has allowed me to recover faster, preserve muscle, and enhance my fat-burning efficiency. I’ll explain how I managed to lose fat while maintaining lean muscle, leading to better endurance and faster recovery times.
2. Intermittent Fasting
Fasting 16-20 hours each day has been a crucial part of my weight loss and performance boost. I talk about how intermittent fasting helped me drop weight, maintain steady energy levels, and stay mentally focused during long training sessions.
3. Discipline & Consistency
Nutrition and training discipline have been at the core of my transformation. By sticking to a consistent routine, I've seen real progress in my performance and mindset, learning that success comes from dedication to daily habits.
This transformation was not just about how I looked; it was about how I felt and how I performed. I had to dig deep and find a better way to eat and train for optimal performance in longer distances. Join me on this journey as I share the strategies and mindset shifts that have made the difference!
