    I love how you embody freedom around food. I don’t know how you feel in the inside but you’re doing a pretty decent job promoting no restrictions and proper fueling. We’d need more role models in the are of distance running.

      @@MNP208To me, the “eat real food” thing is the absolute most important part. Food basically falls into four categories, per the Nova system: 1) unprocessed or minimally processed foods, 2) processed culinary ingredients, 3) processed foods, and 4) ultra-processed foods. Stuff like yogurt and oatmeal falls into group 1. Stuff like oils, butter, salt, falls into group 2, ams are used with stuff from group 1 to make other stuff. Stuff like canned fish, cheese, and fresh bread falls into group 3. Group 4 is stuff like chips/crisps, pre-packaged frozen meals, packaged snacks, and most fast food. Ideally, one should mostly eat from groups 1 to 3.
      Group 4 isn’t inherently bad. There are some group 4 foods that are probably fine - for example, whey or casein protein powder is probably totally fine, I think that just about every distance athlete will tell you the benefits of gels or the like for calories on a long run or ride outweigh the downsides of ultra-processing, diet pop is a subject of contention on social media but no one has been able to prove any negative effects from drinking it in the quantities humans can drink it, etc. And it’s nice to occasionally inhale a bag of Oreos on the couch or to have McDonalds on a road trip or to eat a giant bag of chips/crisps because you’re a grown adult and you want some of that salty tastiness darn it! But group 4, ultra-processed foods, should probably be only a small fraction of what a person eats overall.
      Philly eats mostly 1-3 in her videos; the only group 4 exception in her diet as presented that I personally would be leery of is the protein bars and even those are totally fine in moderation, somewhat depending on the bar.

    Ran my 30th marathon a few weeks ago. Been vegetarian 22 years, never drank alchohol. One thing that will never help running - dieting and restricting! You NEED good food to fuel your body. Restricting will only ever lead to unhappiness, disorder and injuries! Eat well, train well, be well :)

    as a french speaker, your accent is adorable (but very british lol). you might’ve gotten weird looks bc you were using inversion («puis-je»), it’s pretty formal. something like «je voudrais une baguette» or «je pourrais avoir une baguette»is still polite but less formal. but it doesn’t really matter, the important thing is that you got your baguette lol😂

  • @mesnilman2327

    Hi Philly. As someone who lives and works in France, there was nothing wrong in how you asked for the baguette. And the odd stare might just have been because the French are not used to Brits trying to speak French, let alone a faultless French sentence. And even after 20+ years, I still have an accent. So, as the French say: "Chapeau!"

    • @nopahrefa4466
      @nopahrefa4466 Рік тому

      BMR, basal metabolic rate, and RMR, resting metabolic rate, are different things. Your BMR does not increase at altitude, but your RMR does. BMR is a measure of the energy cost of the absolute necessities to keep a body alive, breathing, digestion, blood circulation at complete rest, and mass maintenance (among other things), RMR is BMR, plus whatever energy expensiture you have to DO things, like eating, walking to the bathroom, using the bathroom. sitting up, incidental steps, and shivering and sweating and other temperature regulatory mechanisms.
      RMR goes up because 'at rest' is more intense in low oxygen environments, but 'at complete rest' is a definitional thing, if it is more intense then it is no longer 'at complete rest', so BMR does not increase.

    I know why you're hungry, complete lack of protein and fat! Distance running is about being efficient, you need to 'teach' your body to burn it's own fat stores and you're not going to do that eating constant high carb low protein, low fat! That is why you're hungry.

    • @PhilyBowden
      @PhilyBowden  Рік тому +1

      Female athletes actually naturally have a much higher fat oxidisation rate than men due to our female hormone levels. So it is not as necessary to ‘teach’ our bodies to use fat - we do so naturally. Regardless of this, as I said in the video, this is a snapshot of one day of eating, you have no idea what my diet is like across every day and I have worked with nutritionists to ensure I am meeting a balanced diet.

    Us middle-aged and older Americans (non-elite athletes) need to be careful about consuming extra calories. I see so many people drinking unnecessary protein drinks and eating unnecessary protein bars. When you’re only exercising three times per week (and sitting most of the day), you don’t need extra calories. This, of course, doesn’t apply to growing teenage athletes.

But you do realise whey protein (most widely used protein supplement) is from real food and a good quality one has nothing added? Elite athletes typically aim (or should aim) to get large amounts of protein, typically circa 2g per kg of bodyweight and this is hard to do without supplemental whey. Definitely hard for vegans/vegetarians who are almost certainly deficient. There is nothing to suggest the general population shouldn't consume these amounts, in fact, they should.
