NYC Marathon Runners: High Carb Diets are the Best for High Level Performance
In the pivotal hours before the big race, NYC Marathon runners pack Italian restaurants all across the Five Boroughs to load up on pasta, white bread, and every other carb they can get their hands on.
For the entire Carb-doubting world to see, the greatest athletes in the world are slamming down pasta, white rice, white bread, English muffins, and CapriSun! Somehow, someway, all the terrible food that’s supposed to make us fat has no negative effect on these high level endurance runners. In fact, they consume these fast acting carbs because they guarantee superior athletic performance and endurance.
Marathon runners know the truth that’s been shamed into a secrecy by Carbophobes - high-glycemic, low fat, low-fiber carb sources are essential for high level mental and physical performance.
Maintaining elevated muscle glycogen levels will delay fatigue by a factor of 20% in endurance events lasting 3 to 5 hours. This comes in handy when you’re running for roughly 20 miles across America’s cleanest city.
When carbs are consumed, they are stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver literally creating battery packs in the body that act as the primary energy source for sustained mental cognition and physical activity.
Consuming carbs is what gets these lean, mean running machines from the Verizano Bridge all the way to Central Park.
Now imagine what it can do for you.
Whether you realize it or not, you’re running in the hardest marathon of all time.
It’s called LIFE and life requires high performance all day, every day to avoid the pitfalls of obesity, unemployment, divorce, and mental health issues. A high carb diet built on all the foods we’re told to fear —white rice, white bread, and pasta is precisely what can help you lose weight, stay in shape, kill it at work, and make you a legend in the bedroom.
America runs on Dunkin because it’s depriving itself of glycogen the brain needs to operate effectively. Caffeine is fantastic for a quick hit, but it cannot sustain you for the long haul like carbohydrates can.
Your life is the only race that matters. Go faster, stronger, and better at everything you want to do and need to do by dominating your diet with carbs.
