Carbs: friend or foe?

The debate between low-carb and high-carb diets for optimizing body composition and strength gains has raged on for years. In this episode, I dive into a fascinating 2024 study by Kruszewski and colleagues that compared the effects of high-carb, low-fat, and low-carb, high-fat diets on body composition and maximal strength in resistance-trained men over 15 weeks.

The results may surprise you. Learn:
Which group saw greater decreases in body weight and fat mass
The diet that outperformed for muscle hypertrophy and strength
Key takeaways for optimizing your diet based on your goals

“The key is using stress and being able to adapt to it and improve. That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential.

“I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce

Quotable moments:

"Dietary protein plays a critical role in maintaining muscle health, especially as we age." - Dr. Erik Korem

"The review consisted of 15 studies, a mix of cross-sectional, longitudinal, and randomized control trials published between 2014 and 2023. So this is a pretty recent look at the literature." - Dr. Erik Korem

"It seems clear that there's a beneficial association between a higher protein intake at breakfast and improved muscle mass, but the effects on muscle strength are a bit less definitive." - Dr. Erik Korem
