your honestly one of the most braindead people on this thread. 0% Greek yogurt is not ultra-processed and the method that they get it to be 0% is actually pretty natural. the eletrolyte powder, packet and gel are all supplements he should 100% be using because he is sweating a lot during his training. The corn tortillas could be organic and only contain a few ingridents and even if they do contain some preservatives its not gonna hurt him anyway. His dietary supplements are most likely in the form of pills.
Josh Kerr, King of the Mile, clearly eats like a champion. I do feel he should have skipped dinner and went into fasting. He had eaten 4 times before the race, all he needed was coffee and taurine and not more food.
Mods, why did Khamis make another registered account?
I have heard and read about great things about him. He was illustrious among ordinary men on LRC and a luminary in Physics too. However, he deals in completely different area of Physics compared to what I do which is Holograms and Hologram Interferometry Design while he touches I believe mostly on electromagnetic fields for telecoms.
I don't presume to reprise his role or person and would prefer to be my own man so please treat me like one!
Be sure it's nothing illegal. British runners are not American dopers.
…British runners are not African dopers.
FIFY
Noted. But you shouldn't remove any reference to American dopers and there are indeed many potential culprits in the current crop. I consider potential American dopers to be just as good as fact because they know in return that their covert hiding and spoofing is also as good as clean in fact!
It honestly doesn't seem like that healthy or painful a diet. To hear him talking about it, though it seems like abiding by it makes him absolutely miserable.
A couple things do jump out:
-beef stick and string cheese? aren't those two highly processed, unhealthy things? -gluten-free exactly why? does he have an allergy?
A lot of it's ultra-processed, which is surprising, as it's been prescribed by a dietitian.
- Pancake mix, 0% greek yoghurt (if it's had the fat removed, it's been replaced by something else), an electrolyte packet, a carbohydrate gel, electrolyte powder, corn tortillas (yes, heavily processed), and all of the dietary supplements (especially if they contain additives to make them more palatable).
These things are all ultra-processed, so I'd hardly call this a clean diet.
However, it may be an enormous improvement on what he was previously eating.
Soft corn tortillas are just corn flour, water and lime. You must eat a lot of taco bell hard shell or wheat flour tortillas that rotted your brain out
"However, it is important for me to keep things in perspective. I always know that if I stick to my routine and structured plan, I can achieve my goals."
his goal was getting a silver medal?
Dude, he lost to the Olympic record and maybe one of the fastest kickers ever, in the event.
100 out of 100 times any remotely famous athlete or social media personality who shares a daily diet plan they claim to follow is 100% lying about following that diet. It is typically an ideal they rarely never live up to, if at all. EDs or not, their diet is usually much different and farther from whatever ideal they publicly share.
True he probably rarely lives up to it. But I would believe that he lived up to it (or close to it) for the weeks leading up to Paris. And it paid off with a 3:27 "victory" over Jakob (oops, there was another guy even better on the day!) Who knows... without the diet, maybe he's only running a 3:29... still magnificent but it's the small increments that make the difference.
I remember when people thought that ugali was a magical superfood because they Kenyan runners ate it all the time. In reality, they were just eating a well-balanced diet with less processed garbage than our US diets.
