Tag: High carb intake

According to nutritional experts, a single slice of traditional pizza can contain 25–40 grams of carbohydrates, which is enough to knock many people out of ketosis for days. If you eat a pizza on keto, your body will switch from burning fat for energy back to using glucose, causing a cascade of metabolic changes and potential side effects.

Elite endurance athletes are routinely pushing past the historical 90 grams per hour fueling limit, demonstrating the performance benefits of a higher intake. Reaching and tolerating this new target is a strategic process that involves training your digestive system to absorb the high volume of carbohydrates needed to get 120g carbs per hour, minimizing fatigue and improving recovery.
