Food is a big part of recovery. It’s not the only part (and I’ll talk more about others in future videos) but it might be the most important. It is incredible the difference a good diet can make to your performance on the bike, running track or wherever you are trying to excel. These are the foods I eat and what I always try and go for after a ride.
High carb foods like various fruits and starches have really changed my health for the better.
I try and go for a big fruit smoothie in the morning and afternoon. Or if the fruit quality is really good I would just eat it as is. In the evening I enjoy a warm cooked high carb low fat vegan meal.
I talk more about the type of food I eat and when I eat them in the video. I also state the food I avoid at all costs.
Thanks for watching this video everyone! You can let me know your thoughts and questions in the comments below.

Awesome video talking about post-training recovery! I have a garage gym and usually workout right before dinner so I usually just eat dinner about an hour or so after training. I think it's different depending on the individual as to what they want to consume post-workout, depending on what their body responds to best. I am usually hungry before a workout and then it goes away and takse a minute for it to come back after I cool down. Awesome content. Thumbs up!

A good diet is essential. Although don't eat carbs too much because your body has highly limited capabilities and everything not converted into energy will be immediately turned into fat and stored.
Carbs also spike your insulin levels, totally blocking your body ability to lose weight.
So better u got a killer training

I disagree completely. You have to take into account dietary thermogenesis, so it is not as simple as carbs that are not used gets stored as fat. Carbs get used as heat or energy and for it to be converted to fat you will have to overeat to a great extent. The exact figure is unclear although one study showed it would have to be around the 15g of carbs per kg of bodyweight for you to start gaining a small amount of weight from it.
It is true carbs will spike your insulin level, although this alone should not be a problem. The problem arises when we eat a lot of fat along with carbs, which prevents the carbohydrates from being efficiently absorbed, hence causing a high fasting insulin level (longterm aka T2D). We can't blame the carbs because if you ate a high carb diet (low in fat) your fasting insulin levels would be low. As we see in the Asian populations in the past who lived on mostly white rice, starches and fruit.

"one study showed it would have to be around the 15g of carbs per kg of bodyweight" With my 100kg weight I should eat 1500 g of carbs a day. That's 9kg of potatoes or 5kg of pre-cooked rice. Great study. I smell bs.
I would argue more but with someone that knows what he/she is talking about.

Nice job trying to insult me in your response, something which I didn't do to you. It shows a lot about your character when you can't have a discussion on nutrition without getting personal.
The conversion of carbs to fat is known as de novo lipogenesis. It is a very inefficient process and even though theoretically it is possible, realistically it is not because as you pointed out 9kg of potatoes a day is ALOT! Who do you know that just eats white rice, potatoes and fruit smoothies and gains weight from them?? My 400lb neighbor is not obese from KFC right he's obese from white rice lol. I can point at skinny Asian populations who were doing it for centuries. It's only now that the obesity and T2D rates in those populations are increasing as they add more fat and protein (in the form of animal products).

Oh and some references for you to check out as this will also be my last response:
The China Study - T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell
The Starch Solution - John McDougall
Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes - Neal Barnard
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease - Caldwell Esselstyn
All the info I have mentioned is reinforced in those books, with clinical data base studies to back it up. It's up to you if you want to read it.

It wasn't my goal to insult you. I just don't understand how you can still think that getting 15g of carbs per 1kg of body weight is good for you.
If you don't understand the potato example let me make it even more clear. 15g of carbs per day, per kg of body weight, means that 100kg person would have to eat over 6000 kcal a day of carbs alone.
Please don't try to be smart when u lack the basic knowledge.

Yes! All about the fruit! I personally don't add sugar but prefer to add dates to get some more carbs. Look forward to seeing more of your training/recovery!
