Before training or testing, choose foods rich in protein and healthy fats to provide energy, such as eggs, meat, fish, chicken, cheese, nuts, avocado.
Try different approaches and see what works best for you: for example, some people prefer to exercise on an empty stomach, while others prefer to consume a pre-workout meal.
Drink water regularly during training/race to stay hydrated.
On low-carbohydrate diets, the urinary loss of electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and magnesium adds to the loss of salts that already occurs naturally through sweat. Consider electrolyte replacement, especially with intense or prolonged physical activity.
One strategy to eliminate part of the ultra-processed foods from the diet is to remove all added sugar and farinaceous foods (wheat, oats, rye, barley and their derivatives such as bread, pasta, biscuits, even whole grains).
People with diabetes who use insulin or drugs from the sulfonylurea or glyphozin family need medical supervision to adopt a low carb diet.
