Thanks for the Podcast. Dry fruits?? Any benefits/not?? I usually put it on oat meals, but it may contain to much sugar?? Eating 7 times a day will be an adjustment and it will take me some time..but..

Eat real fruit – better for you an you know there’s no aded sugar. 1 cup on your oatmeal is a great “go fast” breakfast!

You mention being dairy free yet Greek yogurt is considered ok as long as there are no added sugars….Could you go into a bit more detail?

Hiya Ron – we were only referencing Greek yogurt as the only kind of yogurt without added sugar. When we were talking about how bad added sugar was for you… We didn’t mean to infer Greek yogurt is something we advocate. We still recommend a dairy free diet and that includes no Greek yogurt.

You misspoke a bit on the yogurt: Plain yogurt, whether it’s Greek or not, generally has no added sugar. Flavored yogurts, Greek or not, generally DO have added sugar. When comparing the nutrition facts, Greek yogurt will show lower sugar content than regular because the whey has been strained out (that’s where most of the natural sugars in milk reside). But if you read the actual ingredients, you’ll see that plain yogurts (Greek or regular) do not list sugar as an ingredient. But vanilla or other flavored yogurts do list sugar as an added ingredient.

Overall, I agree that plain Greek is better than regular because it’s higher in protein and lower in carbohydrates (i.e., the natural sugars).

Very informative podcast, and quite comprehensive for an intro on winning nutrition. Frank’s example daily meal plan was helpful. How would you adjust that meal plan for training in the late afternoon after a day of work? Seems like there could be some give and take between have a core carb as part of the post-ride meal, which would likely be dinner, and avoiding carbs at the end of the day in anticipation of sleep.

Enjoying the podcasts! Be sure to watch “Gamechangers” movie by James Camerson when it’s released. Or “What the Health,” available now. Should also mention the huge benefits of legumes and starches. I worry about paleo’s and guys like Russell Wilson pounding the steak, chicken and fish. Those are go-slow foods and a risk factor for heart disease and cancer.

No talk of coconut oil. Thoughts? I thought it was considered a super-food and had the best, most usable MCT’s for athletic performance among many other health benefits.

Is there any kind of duration half life of Nitric Oxide in the blood (after the NO3 and NO2 changes)?

HI Guys I love the podcast listen to it every week. What do you think about overnight oats before a long training ride in the morning? Would you consider putig all your recipes in one doc, like a cook book? Thanks MIke

HI Mike! Thanks for listening and the question. Oatmeal is a wonderful ‘go fast’ breakfast fuel. Not sure what you mean by ‘overnight’. You can put berries, honey, on it and even some granola for some ‘crunch’.

Yea a Winning In the Kitchen cookbook is on my/our To Do List – more like a workbook at this point 🙂
