Part 2 with Shawn Stevenson
How to prepare nutritionally for a tournament so we have the ability to focus
Don’t just be ready, stay ready. If you wait until the last moment to get things right you can’t be ready at any time.
During a Physician's study, people were given a task, and then they were sleep deprived for just 24 hours. It took them 14x longer to complete that same task after being sleep deprived. You also just aren’t as smart.
Are there different foods to help brain performance? Foods to learn towards?
Carbs are energy, but are they efficient? They are very fast processing, so you’ll have to eat more often every day. Therefore, not the best choice.
Fat is a much denser source of energy and is more sustainable. (Winner Winner!)
All in all, lower your carb intake, increase your dietary fats. You won’t get fat from eating it.
The most important thing is to understand that you’re unique. Figure out what your goals are and find the right things that work for you.
About ⅓ to ½ of your plate should be non-starchy vegetables.
