No liver or gut processing required.
As a bit of a general/sports nutrition nerd, I cycle in and out of low-carb phases, but there’s simply no denying that they are the ideal source of energy during exercise, particularly for high-intensity efforts.
Fats, on the other hand, pack far more energy per gram and are great for slower endurance efforts, but they take a bit of work by the body to get turned into energy. And the second you introduce carbs to the mix, your body will prioritize using those, leaving your fat ready and waiting for the sugars to run out.
For “fat adapted” athletes, which basically means those who live the low-carb, ketogenic lifestyle and won’t shut up about it, can normally sustain low-intensity efforts for a couple of hours just fine without carbs. They might be ingesting MCTs , which are processed differently, turning into MCFA in the liver, which are then delivered to our muscles for energy.
And, yes, they suggest that you keep using whatever carbohydrate drink, gel, or bars you’re already using . LiFT is additive, like those octane boosters sold at gas stations…it’s a booster for your carbs, offering more total energy to your muscles that they can use immediately. They retail for $26 for a six-pack of vials, with a recommended intake of one per hour of intense exercise. You can also load with it the day before huge efforts and races. Each vial contains 118 calories from 13g of fat.
