WE may have been doing it all wrong.  I was lucky this year to meet Dr Jeff Volek.  Jeff Volek is a dietitian-scientist who has spent 15 years studying diet and exercise effects on health and performance. He has held an academic position at Ball State University and is currently an associate professor at the University of Connecticut. 

One of his studies used elite male ultra-endurance runners aged 21 to 45 years.  There were 2 groups; High carbohydrate group and Low Carbohydrate group.  The groups were well matched on age, body mass, aerobic capacity, ad competition times, the main difference was the habitual diet.  The low carbohydrate group came out on top.

I put this to the test in the City to Surf this year and aced it.  There was no fatigue, no dizziness, no hitting the wall when your fuel ran out.  I was running along side kids half my age and passing them.  It was really exciting.

 Here are some more points from Dr. Volek’s talk.

-You lose more weight and gain more muscle when you combine a low carb diet and resistance training compared to just a low carb diet or just resistance training.
-People on low carb diets can eat 3x the saturated fat compared to people on a low fat diet and still have lower levels of saturated fat in their blood.
-Calorie restriction has been touted as a way to slow/stop aging. You can impact the same biological markers by restricting carbohydrates (while NOT restricting calories).
-Often times when people in Dr. Volek’s studies go on low carbohydrate diets they end up increasing their vegetable consumption
-Metabolic Syndrome is becoming a huge problem in the U.S. and worldwide; carbohydrate restriction attacks all the problem areas of metabolic syndrome more comprehensively than any drug or treatment available.
-The obesity problem in the U.S. is driven by uncontrolled insulin levels. The best way to control insulin is to control its most powerful stimulator – carbohydrates.
