Kudos Scott! You are the first one to speak out against all that human fodder, it never fails to amaze me the crap cyclist eat on the road, like Haribo sweets....
My husband and I do 80 to 100km rides a few times a week and we eat real food on these rides, like you are suggesting, but most of our cycling pals eat those terrible bars and gels and buy pastries at the coffee stop. They think we are nuts for eating a whole wheat tortilla wrap or two with some protein in it. REAL FOOD! Sigh....
Hey Coach! Thank you for everything you do. I remember you saying you’ve had some gut issues in the past and I just heard you mention you eat almonds, Brazil nuts and other nuts on a regular basis. You may already know this, but some nuts (such as Brazil and almond) are very high in oxalates and can contribute to gut issues. I stopped eating those and it’s really helped me with my gut health. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
I like to make these nutrition balls that I freeze and use when going on longer rides which is made of whole oats, raw honey and natural peanut butter. 3 cups of oats 1 cup of PB 1 cup of honey. Mix everything together and spread on a sheet pan roughly 1 to 2cm thick. Refrigerate - or freeze for long term. Cut and divide; accordingly, ball form, bar form, whatever you want - sandwich even ;) Bring a few of those with a banana. There is no replacement for real food! Cheers!
Cheers for this. I'm 41 and have just been diagnosed with chronic gastritis. No advice so took it upon myself to increase my protein and it's helped a bit. I'm grateful for this video which I shall watch again (and I only came across your channel and bike fit videos the other day as I was in between bike sizes). Thanks for all this great content
Remove wheat from your diet. An integrative medical doctor can help you. I have been through this and come out the other end. If you need help let me know.
@@tomwalters558 No problem. If you want more info let me know but I highly recommend an integrative medical doctor. He was the only person who could help me.
FINALLY! Couch you are the first cyclist on YT that has any idea about nutrition. If you are really disciplined piss off wheat and you will get even leaner and be faster. Eat lots of meat (preferably fatty), a bit of rice and some vegies the night before your race and you will be going strong, You probably won't even need to eat during your ride. Protein is best adsorbed with fat. Eat cheese and drink milk. Coach you are 100% correct about fats allowing you to adsorb supplements. During your race have very small amounts of carbs (dates are good), drink coconut water and you'll be fine. One thing I disagree with, keep away from most nuts. Nuts, potatoes, spinach, beetroot, cacao powder, tea, Kiwi fruit. They are all very high in Oxalic acid. I actually poisoned myself by eating too many of these and nearly ended 6 foot under. True I am now 56 years old, train less and I am going faster than ever. My recovery is better than when I was 20. Friends have asked me if I am "taking anything." Lol Love your work Coach.
I live the keto lifestyle, its the only way I can stay anywhere close to lean, as much whole food as possible. I use carbs to fuel rides. Often do up to 3 hour zone 2 rides fasted. On short harder rides, some banana. Once hills and longer rides come in (up to 15 hours) I use a home brew glucose mix, take a tiny sip every 5 mins followed by a swig of water. Works great. Have to find what works for you and roll with it.
Having been a DR fan since 2013 and a coach Scott disciple since 2022, this would be interesting, but unfortunately Harley doesn’t debate people , he knows his diet and “protocols’ are controversial , and have often been picked apart, but he won’t listen to any other argument then his own. As iv gotten older, as a female, and a cyclist, iv discovered the holes in his preachings one by one, and I am no longer a skinny vegan roadie 😂 more a gnarly mtber with some actual grunt and muscle . Of which was not attained by a sugar based vegan diet. But also a iv aged , and as we as women (if there are any here ) age we realise smashing the carbs and sugar is not so great for our bodies ,,. However, I accept Harley’s audience and target audience is the under 30,’s…. Which is why now, I don’t really pay much attention .. plus he is full of repetitive bs, and still using his genetically blessed 25 year old girlfriend as “proof” of his “protocols”. Which when you get abit older and wiser, you can kinda see through. “If you know you know” and all that 😉
Thank you. Since you started preaching the "Real Food", I have been switching . I just have one "EnergyGel" for Emergency. Otherwise i have Dates and Rice (With oliveoil, Coconutmilk, Nuts Dryed fruit) wraped in sushileafs and Bananas. I now ride 100 km with 2 Bananas and a Handful of Dates.
Over the last year or so I’ve dropped the gels and gone to a feed bag with dried apricots and cherries - I eat about 5 pieces every 1/2 hour if the ride. After 2 hours, then an oatmeal cereal bar with peanut butter filling. Recovery meal is a couple or bean and rice burrito in a whole grain tortilla and bananas I keep in a lunchbox in the car. It all does the trick.
Two years ago I discovered the carnivore diet (only animal products: meat, fat, eggs, fish, dairy. No veggies, fruit, grains, oils, nuts, sugars). It cured my colitis, my artritis, adutlt acne and a variety of small physical issues which one picks up over the 54 years I've been alive. I haven't eaten a single carb in that time. My body now runs completely on fats. Last week i did a 100km race without eating beforehand or even during. When your body runs on fats, you are so clear headed and have very even energy throughout the day. I won the uphill sprint in my group BTW. My bloods are perfect and I feel like I'm getting younger everyday. I lift weights everyday just to use up some energy and sleep is excellent with lactic acid a thing of the past. I don't take any supplements except for electrlytes. If you look into it you'll see that millions of people have discovered this and changed their lives reversing all sorts of diseases. My wife is off all anxiety meds and mom reversed T2 diabetes.
Fats, easy. Quality fresh olive oil in a porridge instead of butter. In a salads. On pasta. btw today I had a pasta al dente and three hours later I did swim with a good power reserve without bonking.
What's wrong with saturated fats? 🙄Unsaturated fats are generally ultra processed foods, like seed oils and because they are unsaturated (open chemical bonds) they are susceptible to damage within the body, especially by sugars. Coach, you need to do better with your advice on fats. What do you think you brain is made from? It ain't nuts and seeds but saturated fats. And HDL and LDL are not cholesterol, they're a transport. Your body will regulate those both properly is you let it.
You’ve taken a single source as being the truth, I’d advise you to look at more sources before sharing such awful information. Tim Spector (Zoe founder) has said a lot of things which sound good but don’t stack up. A couple of his main theories seem to be put over in this video and most will agree with these (gut health). The point you raise about protein, most would disagree with.
@@euroswilliams7303 I would rather take advice about protein intake from a Stanford Professor who has spent years studying the subject than a cycling coach. Likewise I would take advice from a cycling coach about cycling rather than a Stanford Professor.
I’m afraid what you say is rubbish! The only fat we need is the essential fatty acids that not produced in our body. The rest are produced in the liver. Refined sugar is what we need for a happy, healthy and energetic lifestyle. Starches, fruits, vegetables, legumes and refined sugar. Smash the carbs because that’s what gets you faster and stronger. There is no such thing as carbs over-reliance, fat adaptations and rubbish like that! We are already fat-adapted.
Correct, I ll emphasise this: FATS, not OILS, the evolution of the genus Homo was driven by the consumption of animal fats, rich mono unsaturates, so enjoy tallow, lard and butter, our grandparents ate this for centuries (!) and enjoyed a robust health. So forget about that disgusting olive oil...

Just what I need to hear, thanks coach! Next... How to balance that into into the Tour Divide

Rice syrup can also be used as a glucose supplement. Tastes like honey.
Fantastico ! 👍
I don’t know much, but I’d watch a debate between Coach and Durianrider over anything else.

@@biodegreaser4009 Well said. I too made the switch and I am now lean and flying.
That's the best explanation of DR I have read well said! 🙌
Toasted pitta with homemade hummus and olive spread, delightful! As with all foods the fewer ingredients and the less processing the better.
Chese sandwich ftw ! whole malt bread is really good and complex carbs mix with fat from the cheese!
Thank you. Since you started preaching the "Real Food", I have been switching . I just have one "EnergyGel" for Emergency. Otherwise i have Dates and Rice (With oliveoil, Coconutmilk, Nuts Dryed fruit) wraped in sushileafs and Bananas. I now ride 100 km with 2 Bananas and a Handful of Dates.

Over the last year or so I’ve dropped the gels and gone to a feed bag with dried apricots and cherries - I eat about 5 pieces every 1/2 hour if the ride. After 2 hours, then an oatmeal cereal bar with peanut butter filling. Recovery meal is a couple or bean and rice burrito in a whole grain tortilla and bananas I keep in a lunchbox in the car. It all does the trick.
I took a cheese sandwich and a banana on my last long ride. I didn't have any discomfort even when the effort got harder. It works!
Guilty of this kinda diet up until 2 years ago. Skinny fat😵💫 Great advice coach‼️
I've been taking a jam sandwich with me on rides for years, best supper food ever.
You made it about 4 minutes into the video before dropping the F-bomb. You were doing so well.

Sounds like my cheese sandwich diet is perfect, fat, complex carbs and protein all in one :) Thanks coach!
Who’s this Luke guy coach keeps talking to ?!
Nevertheless, great advice!
Fats, easy. Quality fresh olive oil in a porridge instead of butter. In a salads. On pasta. btw today I had a pasta al dente and three hours later I did swim with a good power reserve without bonking.
They're good swimmers? Errrrrr, 😀
You better eat !
You honestly shouldn’t need to eat/fuel on a zone 2 ride. That is how you become fat adapted. Train your body to fuel with its own fat.
Do people even listen to this guys advice or just watch for entertainment 😅
What's wrong with saturated fats? 🙄Unsaturated fats are generally ultra processed foods, like seed oils and because they are unsaturated (open chemical bonds) they are susceptible to damage within the body, especially by sugars.

According to ZOE we in the western world get enough protein in our diet through our day to day food.
It doesn't matter if you don't make effort to eat them. Say you need 100 gr daily. 10 eggs is still only 60 gr of protein.
If you do exercise hard, you need more…
True for most people. Not true for athletes and over-sixties. Esp not true for over sixties athletes!
You’ve taken a single source as being the truth, I’d advise you to look at more sources before sharing such awful information.

As a diabetic I think you're talking crap😂
You must be joking, right?
i do like a good comedy comment like this one!
I eat what my body craves. This week it's craving cheese and carbs . Last week was craving proteins.. so strange how our body lets us know
