Tim - Total Physique Performance

Are processed as bad as we think they are ? Or could they help us improve our sports performance.

For any athlete with a heavy training load the need for carbohydrates to fuel performance is going to be high, so with this being said we need a decent intake of carbs to match these demands.

One of the issues we face when getting enough carbs in is the speed with which we need to get them in and also the volume.

Processed carbohydrates often are made up of simple carbohydrates and also low fibre which results in them being easy to digest and get into our blood stream quickly.

The bulk of our carbohydrate intake should be from whole food sources but strategic use of processed food can solve some of the problems that whole foods present.

We also need to understand that there are varying degrees of processed when it comes to food.

Have had the pleasure of working with athletes from since last year helping with their strength and conditioning coaching + sports nutrition.

Yesterday saw the last training week for one of those athletes Brielle Dredge who’s off to nationals this week, Brielle is the daughter of one of my long time clients who she’s probably inherited her work ethic from.

Good luck to Brielle and the WA team, it’s always a pleasure working with athletes who aren’t scared of hard work
