Someone needs to educate Hobbs Kessler about nutrition

The overreactions are incredible. Talking about your buddy that died in his 50s from partying too much as a comparison to an Olympic finalist in peak condition having rice krispies after a workout????? The kid is doing 9000 things to make himself healthy and as soon as he takes a bite of a food you deem bad he gets thrown in the "guy who will die in his 50s" bucket. How about we list the things he does that will extend his life expectancy and acknowledge that we have no idea what he eats the other 22 hours of the day when not actively working out or recovering. The obsession with chemicals and carcinogens is a misunderstanding of statistics. You do things every single day that "lower your life expectancy" (e.g. driving a car, having a beer) but that doesn't mean that every time you do one of this things a few minutes actually get taken off your life.

What do I know... I guess Hobbs is the new bad boy of track and field. Hoping he doesn't go out like Pre, driving on a sugar high from all the lemonade he's drinking at workouts.

No wejo. The OP is full of ignorance and false information. The thread should have been deleted. It's dumb.
Kessler is consulting with two expert scientists. Lets face it, wejo, neither YOU nor the OP has a background in science.

Geoff Burns, a USOPC physiologist and elite ultrarunner. Burns, who earned his PhD in kinesiology from the University of Michigan, has known Kessler since his days as a high school star in Ann Arbor, Mich., and often consults with the inquisitive Kessler on aspects of his training.

“…The crux of that is carbohydrate availability. Carbohydrates are king.
Essentially the dialogue then became, honestly, if nothing else, just
prioritize getting in carbohydrates, at a minimum, after every run,
immediately. People talk about, say, a 30-minute window or whatever. I’m
more of a proponent of a 5-10 minute window. Literally as soon as you
stop your watch, you need to have a plan for getting ample amounts of
carbohydrates in your body.”

“There is a lot of research on getting sugar immediately after training spiking your insulin levels,
which actually improves recovery,” says Maddie Harris, a former University of Colorado runner and registered dietitian specializing in sports nutrition for endurance athletes. “It actually
improves muscle glycogen storage, so you’re better at refueling and storing those carbs where they need to be post-training.”

Burns and Harris are two experts. The OP is not, he is a child. If he had a point he would put his name to his posts, and also cite his credentials. Wejo., you know why he cannot do either.

Malmo as a moderator I'm a bit surprised you label this "false information":

The dude is a huge talent, but he needs help with his nutrition. It’s hard to watch his video promoting Rice Krispie Treats and Fruit Snacks. These things don’t help him at all, he’s putting food dyes and chemicals in his body and doesn’t understand what he’s saying.

That is someone's opinion. It's what letsrun is about. In today's age, I don't find it surprising at all that someone might think Rice Krispie treats aren't a good thing for a pro athlete to put in their body. It's a discussion worth having. Or if Hobbs' diet is really good then people should hear why. This thread is whey we have these forums so people can learn more about subjects that might improve their running.

Here's an inventory of all of the no-it-alls who have posted on this thread so far, The academic credentials of those who think that Kessler is eating the wrong thing after his run.:

How do you account for yourselves? Just stand up, your name, and your academic background? Write it down. How can you be so wrong on the most primary nutrient (glycogen) the body requires every day? What school did you not learn this from?

Go ahead ... list your creds... all in the interest of "discussion".
