Think carbs are the enemy?

Think again. They’re the hidden fuel you don’t know you need.

It’s time you made friends with this primary energy source because fueling with carbs the smart way changes everything with how you perform athletically. Be sure to also check out my blog: High Performance Carbs – the Who, What & Why.

“There’s plenty of research to show when you compare people that are eating a low carb diet versus those that are eating a regular or high carb diet, those that are eating more carbohydrates are always going to outperform those that are eating a low carb diet.” – Kristen Ziesmer

The science shows that proper fueling with carbohydrates contributes to your speed, your power, and your strength because it’s a primary energy source. This video is a must-watch for female athletes.

Learn about:

• The Right Timing for Eating Carbs – Very important!
• What Type of Carbs – Quick digesting or complex? It matters.
• Food sources – Examples of different food and drink.
• The Amount You Need – This will be specific to you, and working with a sports dietitian will provide you the best meal plan customized to your goals.
