And over the years, it has become one of our best selling products.
It is G1M Sport.
It is carbohydrate based.
which is perfect for what we're discussing right now in this episode.
Each serving of G&M Sport is 20 grams of carbohydrates and 350 milligrams of sodium per serving.
It is not only, in my opinion, the perfect fuel source for endurance training, but also resistance training as well.
And G1M Sport uses a very special and unique carbohydrate source called Cluster Dextrin.
It is a very fast gastric emptying carb source, meaning that after consuming it, it doesn't sit in your gut for long.
It digests very quickly, so you don't get stomach discomfort, gut rot, gas, and bloating like some of these cheaper carbohydrate sources on the market will provide and do.
Cluster dextrin replenishes muscle glycogen very rapidly, which is great for post-workout, post-training recovery.
And cluster dextrin provides a sustained, steady release of energy without causing sudden or sharp spikes in blood glucose and insulin levels that are typical with simple sugars like dextrose or maltodextrin.
So not only is Cluster Dextrin the king of carbohydrates around training, in my opinion, but it makes G1M Sport such a unique performance amplifier and fuel source for both your endurance training and resistance or strength training.
So with that being said, let's dive back into today's episode.
So if you are going to consume carbs regularly,
and you've decided you don't want to follow a low-carb ketogenic diet, let's talk about how many carbohydrates you probably need and then their role in exercise being aerobic versus anaerobic, endurance and strength training.
How many carbohydrates do you actually need?
Now, if you go online and look at most recommendations, the recommendations are based off of grams per kilogram of body weight.
And an easy way to establish your weight in kilograms, one kilogram equals 2.2 pounds.
Right now I am roughly 200 pounds, so about 90 kilograms.
So when you look at a lot of the recommendations on carbohydrate intake, you're going to find it's in grams per kilogram of body weight.
