Someone needs to educate Hobbs Kessler about nutrition

No its not fine. Kessler is consulting with a physiologist and a dietician, both of them named in the article. It makes perfect sense. The body needs complex carbohydrates and glycogen immediatly after strenuous activity. The OP needs a basic understanding of science.

The OP is an un-named and uneducated fool who knows nothing about biochemistry and physiology.

Fully agree with this person. Weldon, you should stop giving people a platform to post completely idiotic nonsense. If you have no knowledge of nutrition, you shouldn't have a platform to criticise what a highly successful athlete does from a nutritional perspective under the guidance of someone who actually knows what the hell they're talking about. The opinions of idiots aren't relevant and should be discarded.

Malmo if a registered dietician told you to drink a 12 pack of beer every night, it sounds as if you would consider it to be good advice. I don’t think there is anything horrific about Keslser’s choice of snacks, but they are not considered to be particularly healthy food choices, and if you cannot grasp this, then you really should stay out of this.

Obviously this stuff is going right over your head. His advisors are saying, correctly, that he needs a combination of carbohydrates and glycogen immediately after strenuous training. There is NOTHING unhealthy about that. You are the one who needs to stay out of this.

All this discussion reminds me of the opening statement a sports nutritionist made to our XC team years ago. She began by saying. "there are no bad foods, only bad diets". She then went on to a good discussion about a body's need for carbs, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. 200 calories of rice krispie treats, potato chips or whatever "junk food" is not going to wreck a diet that is otherwise composed of healthy foods that meet all the metabolic needs of the human body. Almost any single food alone will provide a portion of your biochemical needs. You just need to know what else you should consume for complete optimal nutrition. Kessler has two trained professionals supporting his training to give him those answers.

Teachers are trained professionals, so are cops, so are coaches, so are doctors. Are they all good at their jobs ?? The answer is hell no. If Kessler is getting the advice to recover eating Rice Krispy Treats and fruit snacks he needs to hire better professionals to help him with his diet. Those food are very harmful to the body and those are facts.

Rice Krispy Treats are banned in Japan and the European Union because of the highly processed ingredients and carcinogenic properties. That’s alone is a good reason to fire the so called “professionals” telling Hobbs to eat those things. I haven’t even dived into the harm in fruit snacks. I’ll leave that for another post.

Sodium Fluoride is FDA approved "in safe amounts". That doesn't change the fact that it's a neurotoxin. Same idea with food dyes. Theres a reason why they're banned in Europe and Canada.

Playing it safe by avoiding chemicals and sticking with healthy foods is the opposite of being dumb.

Chemicals like dihydrogen monoxide?
