A woman with a wicked six pack just told me she eats whatever she wants. I need to start training for triathlon.
Animal products are counter productive for athletic performance. They clog our arteries and cause inflammation. A wholefoods plant based diet is optimal for health and sports performance.
Thanks for posting this video. The recipes we’re simple, clear, and doable for anyone. I’m training for my first tri, and so nutrition is obviously something I’m giving a lot of thought to. Thanks!!
Hey guys,
Are you aware that to make milk, humans have to impregnate a cow against her will, and forcibly remove her offsprings almost as soon as she gives birth? Maybe consider how your choices hurt other living beings.
Also, please watch Game Changes by James Cameron. All that dairy is lowering your testosterone (it’s full of estrogen from pregnant cows), and putting you at risk for heart disease and cancers.
Good job on your efforts to go more veg, but if you’re strong enough to complete triathlons, you’re strong enough to go all the way, and will make you a ton healthier.
Not bad, you make meals seem easy, my nutritionist makes mine much harder
These Ironman videos are the best ones so far. Keep them coming.
P L E A S E can you post this Walnut apricot brownie recipe!!!!!!!
I’ve been struggling to stick with my nutrition and was about to cave for a bowl of coco pops but I watched this video first and now time for eggs for breakfast:D
I just finished my first box of four sigmatic cordyceps coffe and it’s AMAZING!!! More under way!
I LOVED THE WAY YOU PRONOUNCED AÇAÍ PERFECTLY, EVEN WHEN THIAGO SAID IT IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE WAY ��������
Great vid:)
About the vegan culture, a nice guy to check out is Vegan Cyclist. Nice content + he is getting into triathlon now.
As a home roaster and coffee geek, I appreciate the set up. Loving the great content in your videos. Keep posting!
the theory that lies behind being “fat adapted” is increased in mitochondrial biogenesis, and the theory is that due to higher amounts of mitochondria and vascularization in the muscle, there would be more of an ability to generate energy at a faster rate from fat stores. he’s going to use all sources during the race, but the majority of the energy, especially towards the end is going to be fat stores. however completely depriving one of carbohydrate for the training portion isn’t well supported, rather there is current research looking at controlled carbohydrate deprivation followed by refueling. more or less, “fueling for the work required”
@Paula, try the fruit punch EFS, much better then Lemon Lime…
Interesting. He has learned what his body needs from doing changes to nutrition whilst training and competing, and made changes which suit his body. Humility and commitment to continuous improvement. Impressive. If he does not win Kona it will not be from lack of planning/ training.
hey man, this video is really fckng well done, good for you guys. kick ass!
no one:
Lionel Sanders: eating garbage is the key to being a top athlete
Sounds smart with all the numbers and stuff, ut doesn’t seem to be right as it’s too simple. Body is not a robot. OK, you lose your water through sweat and then try to compensate the same amount, you eat those carbs and don’t count the water that glucose needs to oxidaize which is 3 to ratio, besides you need more water in cells as they go to whole bunch of processes during this kind of activity.
Maybe some of you guys should watch the documentary The Game Changer. Animal protein is far worse than plant-based protein for recovery and for sports performances. If you really wanna maximise your chances to increase your performances in triatlon you should watch it!
Eric and Paula: I love the videos. I’ve been racing triathlons for about 10 years and have been following Paula since her killer ITU days and had an opportunity to hear her give a talk to the Ottawa Triathlon Club a couple of years ago. Obviously I’m not the only one that wants to see a video on your coffee habits. I love my espresso and coffee and would be great to have you geek out on that one week.
Where was heathers video at 6am, mark looked half dead and I’m guessing heathers not an early bird
As I watched more, this is just fantastic. Love how you present the info and your view
Spot on
Paula’s morning filming stoke level: ��. �� Great vid as always, loved the nutri bullet hack �� ��
Hi Eric…i am new to triathlon, and after about 20+ years of never riding a bike I find it difficult going to the aero bars. 2 outdoor rides thus far and I haven’t made it away from the brakes…safety first. Should I stick with it or buy a road bike…that way I can at least shift safely. Thanks…love the channel
Taren I don’t know what to do about dinner….I train from at 8 pm should I have dinner before or after???
Any one tested out the Custokebon Secrets (just google it)? We have noticed many awesome things about this popular weight loss method.
Hi guys. Great content. Very interested in the sport. I’m currently at a low level grade of fitness. Not overweight just not exactly fit. I’m 45 any quick “get started” tips? Have access to a gym as well.
Hi guys, what’s the name of the song @ 12:30 and if u wanna try another kind of tacos come to mexico city ��
Hey Nick! I’d like to know if you know an official reseller or anyway to get the Bare Performance Nutrition supplements in Paris? Thanks in advance for your reply and for the inspiration!
Now we know that Tim Don is going to be on a bit more than a few iron tablets xD
(Mr Don Mr missed 3 drug tests lol)
Man, that guy asks questions in a very negative and condescending tone!
Don’t forget to calculate fluid deficit with breathing, many forget that your respiratory effort blows off a lot of fluid over time
Paula’s background reaction to Eric’s nutrition plan is exactly how my wife reacts when I talk about this stuff. She secretly loves it, but gives me sass.
only sensible comment here is from lucy charles at 3:33 saying get your bloodwork done first before taking any supplements
Just discovered your channel and been checking out the videos. Super quality stuff. Love the editing, the “normalness” of your life. You two just work well together! Thanks for sharing your life!
Why Do u spray the pan with Oil before putting the bacon on i mean the bacon already contains alot of fat?
If you end up still wanting to do some endurance stuff after the Ironman, maybe you could try high fat-low carb for another one. I mean who knows if (or when) you will hit that wall in this first one. I know Triathlon Taren has huge success with this keto approach for his Ironman….For science!
What advice would you give to a teenager in high school who wants to start a fitness YouTube channel
Wait, a body like that, Ironman training and he can’t open a GATORADE?? WTF? Really?
Spotted white claws in your fridge. Ain’t laws when your drinkin claws
Hey nick what was the training split for the Ironman? How many days a week did you training, any days off, incorporate any weightlifting? Etc. care to share?
Hey There! Thanks for this useful video. By the way, I hear many people keep on talking about Custokebon Secrets (do a google search), but I’m not sure if it is good. Have you considered Custokebon Secrets? I’ve heard several great things about it and my cooworker lost lots of weight with it, but she refuses to tell me:(
Good video, thanks for letting us look into your lives. Do you eat beef? If not is it because of ethics, health or both.
Crisis��! My nutribullet is exactly the same, use a fork or the end of kitchen utensils.. much safer as I sliced open my finger once and no swimming for a little while
I think the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly against eating eggs and meat. The rest looks super healthy and yummy. I would eat all that:) except the eggs.
Every Sunday, post long run this is on and forces me to stretch for 10 minutes…Great content and videography! Keep em coming and don’t forget…coffee first always!
more videos like this please!! keep going!! congrats from Portugal
Awesome content. One advice though use straw for the lemon juice. For couple of years now I have been drinking water with lemon juice and pinch of salt to jumpstart my day. Unfortunately after couple of dentists appointments I learned that it’s really bad for tooth enamel. Straw helps a lot as most of the fluids goes straight down the hole. 😉
You ever try a vegan diet? Alot of endurance athletes follow it.
Surprised you haven’t purchased an Endless Pool. Olympic swimmers use it as a convenient alternative.
cheat meals? once a week, once a month? whats your thoughts?
Maybe try a keto style diet at your next race? So you have your own anekdote
I had the EXACT same mindset brother -outstanding -you will win in Hawaii!!!!!!
“I eat Pizza” because it has got a lot of protein, carbohydrates, fats in… also some vegetables micronutrients…. so thats really good… ^^ like him ^^
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! I love how you promote hard work, good health, fun… I love it!!! I love how you do marathons, Ironmans etc and not just bodybuilding. YaAaaaa!
Hmm Lionel, so you said that you didn’t believe in carboloading before and have changed that but 2018 and 2019 your performance in Kona was actually much detoriated. Not saying in general carbs are bad for athletes like you but going crazy in those opposing to a good fat adaptation. I believe Frodeno is quite well fat adapted and thus performs superbly. Maybe swicht back to what got you a great finish in 2017 or look into the advantages of fat adaptation �� to benefit from that on race day along the carbs that you surely need to use during the race of course. All the best
I ran 50 a miles race at a BW of 88kg/194lbs, during the 11 hours it took for me to finish i had burnt 9k cals according to my fitness app. All i did to prepare was to eat lots of candy the night before and on the morning and drink coke during the race with some energydrink and energygels. I didn’t calculate anything, I think the best prep you had for this was your time in the army, you get used to being starved and misery and the body adapts brilliantly.
Breakfast is tablespoon of ground flaxseed with water based porridge and banana, bit of ground cinnamon and walnuts. Teaspoon of Spirulina with glass of water.
