    Hey Lionel, I am a big fan of yours and I support you in all races, truly. So please don't take this as a negative comment about your diet. But... Have you ever considered adding fats to it? It seems completely carbocentric, and I suspect your body has literally no fat adaptation. Maybe that's the bottleneck in performance you talk about? Especially for longevity of performance, fat adaptation is key: more so for long format Iron Man races. You say often you don't perform there as well there as in 70.3s.... You should talk with a professional sport nutritionist that works with pro triathletes. Love from Europe!

    • @fulvio8614
      @fulvio8614 3 місяці тому +1

      @@lukepaulson3428 thanks for your (none-nuanced and simplistic) perspective on something I doubt you know much about. Judging fat metabolism by how somebody looks is over simplistic. Human biology is much more complex than that. If he, as you say, "eats anything to don't lose weight", he better eat more fat: 1 gram of fat is 9 calories, 1 gram of carb and protein is 4 calories. Besides that, our body uses different energy sources at different intensities. It is a myth that we make energy only from carbs. At rest and during aerobic effort, fat is the optimal energy source. I could explain you why but this is not the place and you don't seem to be the person either. World class, top level long distance triathletes train their body to keep the effort aerobic also at very high HR and lactate levels, also by eating low carb diets. Google "Dan Plews Low Carb". I don't doubt Lionel is super fit: I just doubt he is well fat adapted at aerobic intensities, given his diet and his results in long format iron mans. Take care. P.S. Besides being a passionate amateur endurance athlete, I am also a biochemist so I am interested and knowledgeable about this stuff.
