Fueling jiu jitsu

Cole writes: 

Robb! Hoping I can get your input here… I am a blue belt in jiu jitsu, been doing it for exactly 3 years now. I am on a 95% paleo diet. I will swerve off the road for some pho or random foods when we are out but nothing terrible. 100% no sugar, no processed foods or bread. When I am consistent in jj I can roll one after another and not get too exhausted. I have been good on my diet this year, I have been going to jj 3-4 times a week BUT I have also added in kettlebell circuit training 5x a week for the past 2 months. I am trying to up my strength, at 38 these young fuckers are tearing me up! Anyways, I am exhausted quickly when I roll now and it’s frustrating. Can I simply change my diet? I eat a lot of meat, mainly beef. Pretty much stick to meat, veggies and fruit. I don’t want to let up on either but shit maybe I need to. Maybe I am not fueling myself enough? Should I eat MORE? Hoping this finds you! Would really appreciate your input.

 

Looking for podcasts about lifting for health

Hi Robb and Nicki, 

I've been craving some content about lifting lately, and the best YouTubers I know of don't seem to have audio-only podcasts, or they are heavily science and bodybuilding based. The science and bodybuilding is great, but I also like learning about stuff that will help me be fit and strong and mobile, not just pure bodybuilding.

I was listening to Robb's old Paleo Solution episodes with Greg Everett and they are great, it's a good mix of good information but also always the caveat that it really depends what you want to do. Greg and Robb would answer the question based on what an Olympic lifter or a powerlifter might do, but also what you might want to do for general health and life.

Thanks for any thoughts you might have about this, and thank you for the great work you've done over all these years!

PS I listen to a lot of podcasts, so I won't listen to yours any less if you share some good podcast ideas!

 

Post Heart Attack plan

Hello Nicki and Robb!

I am one of your original dedicated five listeners who now wish he would have listened more carefully to your incomprehensive ramblings! I have written you a question before regarding relevant testing to assess cardiovascular health, what I am now about tell you makes that question irrelevant. I also wrote you a separate e-mail about this, but to my question. It regards an issue with my extremely elevated LDL (696) which has been a concern for me. On August 19 I got the answer to my concerns through a heart attack and a 10 minute cardiac arrest. Thankfully I survived and am able to write this. My story is that I have been keto since 2012 and 95% carnivore since early 2020 (meat, a lot of eggs, full fat dairy and occasionally fish. A few plants like onions and mushrooms for taste). I am 45 years, 10% bodyfat and very athletic since adolescence, so no pre-existing conditions and no cheat days, cheat days is just not who I am. So healthy, athletic and on the "perfect diet" for 15 years and still got heart disease.
