Description
In this Inside Scoop episode, Bob and Dina continue their discussion of nutrition periodization by covering one of the core elements, Metabolic Efficiency TrainingTM(MET). Even if you’ve heard of this concept before, you’ll want to tune in to make sure you get the information from the creator of the concept (Bob). HINT: MET isn’t a hack, a low carb diet, or a trendy quick fix fad.
We cover:
· The origin story of MET and its evolution
· Is gastrointestinal distress par for the course for endurance athletes?
· The crossover concept and how the body’s fat and carb burning ability is influenced by exercise
· The progression of the crossover concept as nutrition strategies enter the picture
· Is MET about the avoidance of carbs and simply a high fat approach?
· The differences in the body’s energy storage between carbs and fat
· Who is MET best for and a highlight of some of its benefits
· The nutrition “practice” at the root of MET and an overview of a couple of the successful nutrition strategies of MET implementation
· Testing your Metabolic Efficiency and the 3 categories of efficiency
You can find the 2nd edition of the book “Metabolic Efficiency Training: Teaching the Body to Burn Fat” at https://www.enrgperformance.com/online-store and more information about the concept and certified practitioners at www.metabolicefficiency.org
