    DescriptionKETOGENIC ADAPTATION, CARBS & PERFORMANCE — WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS ⚡

    Prof Paul Laursen talks with Dr Matthew Carpenter about what changes (and what doesn’t) when endurance athletes go low-carb and stay there. We get into insulin’s rapid drop, the early-week training dip, the liver’s “small glucose pool,” and why a simple pre-start carb hit can still move the needle, even when you’re fat-adapted.
