I Made Three Simple Nutrition Changes (Fast at 41)

Front fueling is a game changer! made these exact changes specifically to training and its one of those "why did this take me so long" moments!!! Great content

Love it that you are so honest about your own nutrition "mistakes" and bad (old) habbits. I know that many people can relate. Biggest mistake I see in my surrounding of people training around 10h/week is eating too little on and off the bike (swim, run and gym). It took me time and conscious effort, like you, to get it right myself. Ultimately, this comes down to lifestyle changes which often are overlooked because we think they are harder to implement and less important, because training hard should should cut it. But once you get into the Sunday meal-prepping, you never want to go back to worrying about food half the day. I would like for your nutritionist to make a specific video for women, surrounding nutrition, menstruation and relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S). While RED-S hits men, too, (as you described implicitly) for women not having their periods is far more detrimental to their overall heath than for men not having morning wood. Keep up the great work! You guys are doing a tremendous job for the global endurance sport community!

So much work CN! Doesnt have to be that complex hehe. I spend MAYBE 5 mins a day on food prep. Often less. I dont track CICO EVER! Look how ripped I stay year round despite unable to train much at all due to a spinal cord injury. If you want your veins to come out even more like mine just restrict your fat grams to around 10g a day. Over time you wont need to do any maths because the intial tracking of fat grams teaches us how much hidden fats really are in most meals and that explains why we never get as lean as we want because we simply eat more fat than we can burn. The fat we eat is the fat we wear. When Im getting too lean I just eat more healthy fats to boost body fat stores back up again. Also consumer fewer ingredients so your digestive load is way less. You will feel more energy this way and better power on the bike. Lastly avoid those acidic gels and drinks. Stick with my ph neutral sucrose cocktail. Good enough for Kipchoge good enough for us. ;)

I’ve operated this way for years. I’m 61 and stopped racing at 40 but TT,d until 2016. Still riding 200 miles a week though. Big carb brekkie of porridge and toast. Longish rides 4/5 days a week then a proper lunch usually involving fish. I’m 73kgs and 6,01 tall. Skinny though rather than muscle. Small evening meal at 5pm then nothing until breakfast.

Cam, this is brilliant! I'm in a real rut at the moment, and need to lose weight. Putting it in clear, concise, steps like this for everyday use will hopefully help me get re-started again. It's affecting day to day mood, has severly affected my bike training too, so it's like a vicious circle...........we re-start now! Thanks for sharing.

Nice work Cam. Doesn’t seems like the ordinary calorie deficit plan, but rather giving the body what it needs so we don’t binge when we don’t need it.

I’ve started doing this after listening back to a few of your nutritionist’s videos, and the last one you did on fueling for races. I’m seeing a big difference in energy for races, and training sessions. Now I’m measuring carbs before, during and after, along with protein intake. Thanks bud.

CONGRATS Cam on the continued progress for the Fast at 41 Journey. Glad You found the Nutrition formula that is working for You. Absolutely right, it should not be a torturous challenge. Consciousness is the "secret" along with tapping into excellent guidance from Steph. Good On You - Carry-On. 😎

Hey Mate, see you have jumped back on the Infinit. That there alone has been a game changer in my IM prep. Best thing in 25 years of racing

Nice work CN… Looking fit 👊🏼 see you on the start line for G2i next year 😉

I've also tried Ketone-IQ and I've found two things about it. One is that I'm more focused at the end of the ride, which for me, means riding safer and a whole lot more pleasant. Also, I think it helps keep me from getting so peak hungry. I use it for recovery and I've noticed I don't feel like snacking like I used to. And no, I am not associated with the brand. Going to be adding more protein too. I don't expect to set the world on fire at 71 years old, but you're helping. Thanks.

Had to give you a thumbs up only because you mentioned the brushing the teeth soon after dinner! Seriously another great video Cam. Thanks for your efforts to basically explain what I was also do wrong. Cheers Mark

Good stuff. Wrt liquid fueling on the bike: One way to mitigate "furry mouth" and spare your teeth is to keep carb/sugar drink in one bottle and clean water in a second bottle. After fueling, rinse your mouth.

Absolutely bang on! I struggle with these very things myself and it's nice to see someone giving real advice for fat loss. My biggest problem is that I am a snacker, and mainly at bed time. It is easy to consume an extra 500 plus calories in your day with mindless eating. before you know it you've gained 5 pounds!!!

Another great video. And Steph, what can I say, she is too good to be true. I followed your lead from the "fuelling wrong" video and upped my carb intake just before and during a recent 100km ride. It worked! I didn't start to run out of gas until within the last 4 miles, but i finished better than expected. It's a work-in-process.

Great video CN, thanks for taking the time to make these. Cheers

I'm at the heaviest I've ever been, can't seem to stop this upwards trend. I can totally sympathize with the 'afternoon/evening beast snack monster' - my appetite seems insatiable sometimes. I'd love to be able to work with someone like Steph to help me figure this all out. Thanks for all the tips, Cam

great summary, thank you, As a 55y.o. and life time cyclist, i have started consistently doing bodyweight exercise this year for the first time and though my leaness, posture and strength have improved, i do feel my weight is staying up. I'll need to pay some more detailed attention to diet and fuelling and see how that contributes.

Strategic fueling, or rather lack off followed by beast mode - is exactly my issue. Really useful video.

Great vid Cam , plenty of good content coming out recently on getting on the carb train and fuelling up rather than deplete and fuelling not to Bonk ! Taken me a bit to get away from this old school thinking also . You and Jesse Coyle providing good guidance . Thanks !
