Balancing performance with effective weight management is one of cycling's greatest challenges. In this episode, we sit down with sports nutrition expert Alex Larson to uncover the science and strategies that help cyclists get lean, stay lean, and optimize their performance.
We explore the key areas cyclists should focus on to shed fat while preserving muscle, from dialing in macronutrient ratios to the importance of nutrient timing around training. Alex shares practical advice on managing caloric deficits safely, maintaining testosterone levels naturally, and navigating fasted versus fed training.
Discover the truth about creatine, nine low-glycemic foods to keep your blood sugar stable, and the supplements that may—or may not—enhance fat loss without sacrificing endurance. This is your go-to guide for unlocking your peak cycling physique and staying strong for years to come.
