Happy New Year and welcome to Episode 81 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast! Today Sports Dietitian Bob Seebohar (MS RD CSSD CSCS) of eNRG Performance joins me on the show to chat all about Metabolic Efficiency Training (MET), a concept that he created in the early 2000s. MET can be defined as a systematic nutrition and exercise approach to improving the body's ability to use its internal stores of nutrients, specifically carbohydrates and fat. It's also a way to optimize your blood sugar through proper periodization of food, using a non-diet approach. We explore this concept in great detail, talk about what nutrition periodization for athletes looks like in everyday and performance nutrition, and discuss how you can test for metabolic efficiency. This was a fantastic conversation and I hope you all enjoy it and find it useful!Links:Bob's Website: https://www.enrgperformance.com/Follow Bob on Instagram and eNRG performance on InstagramCheck out Bob's podcast, Inside Sports Nutrition Announcements:Support the podcast by purchasing my new merch! Please give the podcast a 5 star rating and review, and share it with your friends!If you can afford to support the show financially, please visit my Patreon page to make a donationHave nutrition questions, a guest or topic request, or any other feedback?

If you've been a RunnersConnect fan for long enough, you know one of the main principles we believe in when it comes to marathon training is improving your body's ability to burn fat as a fuel source while running, especially while at marathon pace. So, how exactly do we do this and what does some of the latest research say? The research in question revolves around the two concepts of Nutrition Periodization and Metabolic Efficiency Training. Together they increase the body's ability to use fat as fuel during exercise and thus optimize both body composition and performance.  Joining us in this episode is Bob Seebohar, the creator of these two concepts. He's going to help you learn… What these two concepts are and why they are so critical to your running performance. How to utilize them during your training and taper And how tweak these concepts to improve body composition, and reduce GI issues If you're racing a fall half or full, this is a must listen!

How is your daily nutrition working for your physiology? How do you know how well your body burns its fuel sources during exercise? What's a sweet spot for carbohydrate amounts to consume during training and competition? To get more accurate and objective insight, Metabolic Efficiency Testing is the way to go to find out the answers to these questions and more. In this episode, we cover the details about Metabolic Efficiency Testing: its purpose, how it's done, differences between other types of physiological testing, and the benefits for an array of athletes and other individuals.  We cover: The origin story of the Metabolic Efficiency Testing (MET) and its purpose What is the Crossover concept and its pertinence for MET How is the test conducted? Differences in metabolic cart technology that affect the accuracy of the results you receive Differences between VO2max, lactate, and MET Is the testing only useful for endurance athletes?  What data points do you get out of a ME test and utility for health and performance Links: Catch our episodes 9, 23, and 64 to hear more about Metabolic Efficiency Training Bob's Metabolic Efficiency Training book: https://www.enrgperformance.com/ebooks https://www.metabolicefficiency.org/ to find a certified professional and learn more about MET Randall paper that was mentioned https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27580144/ Thank you to our episode sponsor, UCAN.

There are many misconceptions and inaccurate statements made in popular media about the concept, strategies, and outcomes of Metabolic Efficiency TrainingTM. In this episode, Dina presents several of these misconceptions to Bob for a response and explanation to help clear the confusion for you listeners. We break down these statements: Maximal fat oxidation occurs between 60-70% of VO2peak. Is the Maffetone method the same as MET? Burning more fat doesn't make you faster. Any performance benefits seen from a keto or low carb diet are a result of weight loss that occurs, not from the diet directly. Training is really the only factor that improves the body's use of its fuel sources. Female athletes are already good at burning fat.

Leadman*, ultrarunner, sports dietitian and former olympic athlete coach, Bob Seebohar says that we should, "eat to train, not train to eat". Our fueling is as important in our training as aerobic and anaerobic training. Bob even wrote the book on it, Metabolic Efficiency Training, Teaching the Body to Burn More Fat He discusses the simple methodology he prescribes to athletes to help them improve their nutrition and fuel burning with periodization and the simple "hand method" of fueling. Bob owns and runs eNRGPerformance in Colorado, but consults virtually around the world.

The concept of physical periodization - the intentional cycling of a training pattern - is well understood and practiced by top athletes. What about applying periodization to nutrition? This has been explored less, yet the health and performance benefits of accelerating metabolic adaptation through cycles of diet are promising. Bob Seebohar, who served as a dietician for the US Olympic committee and holds a number of degrees relating to sports science, joins the podcast to dive into a term he coined: “Metabolic Efficiency Training”.

Metabolic Efficiency Training Vegan Edition with Heidi Strickler 3 Podcast Links Heidi Strickler Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist Heidi graduated with a triple degree in Dietetics, Nutrition in Sports & Exercise, and Exercise Science, from Seattle Pacific University in Seattle, Washington. She completed her Dietetic Internship in Illinois, and moved back to Seattle in early 2014 to begin her career as a Registered Dietitian. Heidi has spent most of her professional career at Experience Momentum, a functional wellness clinic in Lynnwood, Washington, where she worked with clients in both nutrition and fitness coaching. Heidi specializes in sports and performance nutrition, oncology nutrition, sustainability, and plant-based eating. She works with high school, collegiate, and adult team sports, CrossFit athletes, and endurance athletes, including runners, triathletes, cyclists, swimmers, and obstacle course racers. As an endurance athlete herself, Heidi’s primary focus is with endurance athletes. Reach Heidi on eNRG Website Facebook Show Notes As we spoke in the previous episode - Metabolic efficiency training and nutrition periodization with Bob Seebohar, metabolic efficiency training is from a large part about controlling your blood sugar response and training your body to be better at utilizing fat for fuel and how we can teach it to do that by manipulating our nutrition. Specifically by reducing carbohydrate availability. Plant-based and vegan food tend to be higher in carbohydrates. Even plant based sources of protein come with a carbohydrate load, while animal sources of protein usually come with fat or in better case, lean protein. Therefore it might be challenging for a plant based athlete to reduce their carbohydrate intake, unless he or she pays attention to their nutrition. This is just one of the topics that we address in the latest podcast episode with Heidi Strickler, who specializes in metabolic efficiency training and works with endurance, OCR, plant-based athletes. 00:08:00 Heidi's on her transition to plant-based diet 00:13:00 Heidi in the recipes you can find in her new book 00:15:31 Fat adaptation definition 00:16:20 Foods for metabolic efficiency specific to plant-based athletes 00:22:51 Can a vegan get the benefits of metabolic efficiency at a higher carbohydrate diet when you still control your insulin response by consuming smart carbohydrates? 00:30:19 Heidi's experience with metabolic efficiency training 00:33:00 How is it possible to burn more fat at a higher heart rate and effort? 00:39:45 Does adaptation to burning more fat hinder your top performance? 00:45:09 Who will benefit from metabolic efficiency training? 00:47:11 Heidi's metabolic test results before and after 00:49:19 OCR specific advice 00:56:01 How to connect with Heidi Question: What is your take on Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio in a diet? Answer: Yes, considering your n6:n3 ratio is important. Some may argue more important than just knowing your n3 value alone. Ideal value is 3:1-5:1. Many Americans are nearly 20:1. There is an overabundance of n6 in the Western diet, due their prevalence in processed foods (soybean, sunflower, safflower oils). Plant based individuals (esp vegans) really struggle to get adequate n3, particularly EPA and DHA, as they come only from fatty seafood and sea veg. I always recommend n3 supplements, but which one and how much I recommend is very dependent on the individual. We offer n3 testing. I provide personalized  recommendations after the results come in. I personally think it is one of the most useful tests we offer, and because it is mail-in, they can be anywhere in the world.

He’s back! World renowned dietitian and exercise physiologist Bob Seebohar joins us again to delve deeper into the growing research surrounding his two concepts of metabolic efficiency training (MET) and nutrition periodization. If you listened to Bob’s last interview with us, you know that together these concepts increase the body's ability to use fat as fuel during exercise and thus optimize both body composition and performance - a hard balance to strike for most distance runners. If you missed that episode and like what you hear today, be sure to go back and give it a listen here for some better context. Bob is a registered dietitian, exercise physiologist, NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, USA Triathlon Level III Elite Coach. He also traveled to the 2008 Summer Olympic Games as a sport dietitian for the US Olympic Team and the personal sport dietitian/exercise physiologist for the Olympic Triathlon Team. This time Bob’s back to answer YOUR questions and, in so doing, discuss everything from MET’s relationship with paleo and plant-based diets all the way to how you can go about determining your own metabolic efficiency. Questions Bob is asked: 4:08 What do you do? 6:10 Can you remind us again about your concepts of Nutrition Periodization and Metabolic Efficiency Training? 10:21 Can you describe intuitive eating and how you help athletes attain that in combination with Metabolic Efficiency Training? 14:00 Can you describe what the Crossover Concept is? 23:41 How does the Metabolic Efficiency Test work? 28:20 Listener question from Yusef: Will I keep burning 60% fat at HR 150 bpm, at hour 28 of a 100miler? 39:55 Listener question from Diana: As someone who eats a ton of almond and peanut butter. Is this a carb, a fat or a protein? 48:14 Listener question from Chelsea: How does being vegan affect my metabolic efficiency and are there any tips for how can I improve this without giving up my lifestyle? 54:04 How do the Paleo Diet and High Fat / Low Carb diets fit in with Metabolic Efficiency Training? 57:13  Is it correct to assume you should increase carbs when in the thick of marathon training? 58:45 Listener question from Darlene: Is the Metabolic Efficiency lifestyle suitable for people with type 1 diabetes who use insulin pumps? 1:02:05 You offer personal consultations - what all do these entail and how can people work with you? 1:04:45 Where can listeners get a Metabolic Efficiency Test done? Quotes by Bob: “Nutrition periodization is basically aligning your daily nutrition to support your physical training needs.” “Metabolic efficiency is basically how efficient your body is at using its stores of carbohydrate and fat. Those are the two main stores of energy we have in our body, and you can actually train that.” “The point where the body crosses from higher to lower fat burning and lower to higher carbohydrate burning - where those two macronutrients cross - is the ‘crossover point’, and in research, they found that to be between 63-65% of max intensity.” “Metabolic efficiency is a great lifestyle nutrition program no matter what distance you’re training for.” “It will be more difficult - not impossible, certainly - but it will be more difficult to balance blood sugar following a pure vegan diet than it will when you enter animal proteins, and it’s just because you’re having more carbohydrate than protein.”   Want more awesome interviews and advice?

Contrary to popular belief, losing or even maintaining weight while training for a marathon can be incredibly difficult. Many marathoners either find they can’t quite achieve the weight loss they want, or, on the flipside, they’re able to lose weight, but at the cost of performance. It’s a hard balance to strike, but with the latest research it’s becoming much easier. The research in question revolves around the two concepts of Nutrition Periodization and Metabolic Efficiency Training. Together they increase the body's ability to use fat as fuel during exercise and thus optimize both body composition and performance.  Joining us in this episode is Bob Seebohar, the creator of these two concepts. Bob is a registered dietitian, exercise physiologist, NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, USA Triathlon Level III Elite Coach. He also traveled to the 2008 Summer Olympic Games as a sport dietitian for the US Olympic Team and the personal sport dietitian/exercise physiologist for the Olympic Triathlon Team. In this episode, Bob walks us through his findings on dietary efficiency and sheds some light on how best to achieve both the body composition and race day results you’re after. Oh and for those wondering, here’s a breakdown of the “alphabet soup” behind Bob’s name:   M.S. - Bob has three college degrees. His undergraduate is in Exercise and Sport Science. His two graduate/Master's degrees are in Health and Exercise Science, and Food Science and Human Nutrition. He successfully defended two theses during his graduate studies and knows his way around interpreting research and aligning it with real-life applications.   R.D. - Registered Dietitian. A college degree studying food science and human nutrition is required to be able to sit for this national examination. Of course, this is after successfully completing a 9 - 12-month nutrition internship after graduation.   C.S.S.D. - Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics. A certification only given to Registered Dietitians who have years of experience working with athletes. A rigorous national examination must be passed and frequent continuing education credits upheld to acquire and maintain this certification.   C.S.C.S. - Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Bob has worked as a trainer/strength coach since the mid 1990's and specializes in creating strength programs for endurance athletes.   M.E.T.S - Metabolic Efficiency Training Specialist. Bob explains this in his interview. :)   Questions Bob is asked: 5:06 Can you tell us about who you are and what you do? 7:45 What is Metabolic Efficiency Training and how does it relate to your concept of Nutrition Periodization? 11:50 How does Nutrition Periodization come into play with all the training variability runners experience? 14:34 How does Metabolic Efficiency Training work with runners who are trying to lose weight while increasing performance? 21:43 Why does eating become less intuitive to us over time? 24:40 How difficult is it for your athletes to change their nutrition philosophy? 27:45 How can runners adjust their macronutrient intake ratios to use fat as fuel more efficiently? 32:40 What is your opinion of Low-Fat, High-Carb and other ‘extreme’ diets? 39:01 Have you been able to get significant research yet into the role genetics plays with this? 40:39 Is the long-term goal to see where trends are and individualize athletes’ diets based on gender, genetics, etc.? 45:14 Has there been any research on Nutrition Periodization and how it relates to menstrual cycles and menopause? 47:06 What do you mean by the ‘Metabolic Efficiency Point’? 53:28 How would someone go about manipulating this efficiency point via nutrition? 56:54 Is it hard to do Metabolic Efficiency Training with Vegan, Vegetarian and Paleo diets? 1:00:50 Do you offer personal consultations?   Quotes by Bob: “Even for the leanest of the lean marathon runner, these elites that are almost breaking the 2-hour barrier, they still have about 30,000 calories of fat in their body but we’re very limited in our carbohydrate stores.”   “Metabolic Efficiency Training is really looking at the opportunity to use the fat that we have stored already, preserve our very limited carbohydrate stores and do that by altering the daily nutrition plan.”   “Nutrition Periodization is simply combining the right type and amount of nutrition to support physical training. So when you’re going through the ebbs and flows of physical training (running), you go through ebbs and flows of nutritional support.”   “The best thing about Metabolic Efficiency Training is that it’s not a diet. The worst thing about it is that it’s not a diet.”   “When we’re young kids, we have this intuitive eating; we eat when we’re hungry, we stop when we’re not hungry. …The environment shapes us… into becoming less intuitive eaters and more either habitual eaters… or (more) emotional eaters.”    Take a Listen on Your Next Run   Want more awesome interviews and advice?

Nutrition Powered Co-Host for 2017:Over the years we have been bombarded with fear-based messaging around nutrition and misinformation about body image. It's around this time of year people decide to make fitness goals but begin on a foundation of this wrong information. Leading to poor results coupled with failed goals. Starting with your nutrition will help give your body the balance it needs to begin building your health and wellness. Helping us understand nutrition in 2017 is today's Co-Host Erin Sparrold. Erin has over 20 years experience in the nutrition field, and is the Nutrition guru at (http://mindoftheathlete.com) . (http://mindoftheathlete.com) On This Episode You Will Hear:[spp-timestamp time="01:28"] Erin originally majored in Political Science because she wanted to go on and work with the Government and become a Legislator. After taking a few courses in Political Science she realized it was not her thing. She felt she wasn't assertive enough to be in the political world. Erin, being an athlete throughout College, always had a fascination with nutrition. [spp-timestamp time="02:34"] Competition changes your nutritional focus from your regular, non-athletic lifestyle nutrition. Erin has been at Mind of the Athlete for two years.

When you have a women that has become too lean, it can have a negative impact on her hormonal cycling and her health. [spp-timestamp time="09:52"] Progesterone is one of the hormones in our bodies that stimulates and regulates various functions. There is so much fear based messaging around nutrition, but people do not understand the power nutrition has to building health and wellness. [spp-timestamp time="11:19"] Get yourself off of the magazine diet. There is so much misinformation in them. [spp-timestamp time="12:49"] Visiting a professional vs getting your information out of a magazine. Trying to sort through the noise. [spp-timestamp time="14:50"] Don't knock it until you try it. Remove what is bad in your diet. Let your body balance and clean up then try to reintroducing it and see how your body reacts. [spp-timestamp time="18:09"] Behavior and food are really intertwined. [spp-timestamp time="21:49"] When you cut excess sugars out of your life, your energy curves start smoothing out. Your body is such a powerful machine, it will communicate with you. [spp-timestamp time="22:35"] Listening to your body. Learning how to nurture and take care of your body. Make the empowered choice to take care of your body. [spp-timestamp time="25:42"] The benefits of consuming healthy fats. [spp-timestamp time="27:39"] The Egg. One of the most perfect foods. [spp-timestamp time="29:08"] Using scales creates a really unhealthy relationship with your body. [spp-timestamp time="29:32"] Intermittent fasting and inflammatory weight. [spp-timestamp time="30:51"] Toxins that surround us and cleansing the right way. [spp-timestamp time="32:54"] Our bodies are really good at detoxifying ourselves. The unfortunate thing is we are exposed to so many more toxins now, our bodies can get overwhelmed. We cannot separate ourselves from our environment. [spp-timestamp time="35:41"] There is no standardized protocol for a cleanse. You do not want to be fully starving your body during a cleanse. [spp-timestamp time="37:05"] Lack of education. Always go for Nutrient density [spp-timestamp time="38:37 "] NSNG and Ketogenic [spp-timestamp time="41:00"] Metabolic Efficiency Training [spp-timestamp time="43:03"] Carbohydrates. Nutrient dense carbohydrates. [spp-timestamp time="44:54"] Nutrient quality.

Health Assessment More information on Metabolic Efficiency here >>> Metabolic Efficiency     MORE ABOUT THE ENERGY SYSTEMS OF THE BODY Three different metabolic energy systems power your workouts — and your day. Here’s how each one works, and how to make the most of them all. Your body has several ways of turning the stuff you eat into the stuff you do. All of these metabolic energy systems are switched on during physical activity, but each plays a different role depending on available energy and the specific demands of the task. Each burns a particular type of fuel at a particular rate — thereby affecting fat loss and muscle gain in a particular way. The adenosine triphosphate–creatine phosphate (ATP-CP) system, or phosphagen system, supports very brief, high-intensity activities like a single-effort vertical jump. The glycolytic system provides energy for activities of slightly longer duration and lower intensity like strength training. The oxidative system supports long-duration, lower-intensity activities like walking or distance running. >>> READ MORE

Subscribe via iTunes Bob Seebohar I interview nutrition expert and dietician Bob Seebohar for a wide range of topics.  Bob has a wealth of experience working with triathletes, including traveling with and assisting the 2008 US Olympic triathlon team. We discuss hydration, protein intake, sodium intake, sarcopenia, saturated fat, sugar and heart disease, blood sugar, fat burning, ironman nutrition, and more.    Ironman Nutrition A segment of the podcast was devoted to Ironman nutrition. Bob thinks a well trained fat burning athlete can eat 100-200 calories/hour on the bike or even less.  Bob's caloric recommendations are on the lower end of the spectrum for Ironman fueling recommendations.  It works for athletes that are able to burn a lot of fat during the race. Bob’s sodium recommendations during an Ironman: For those with a low sodium diet - 500-800mg of sodium per hour. For those with a higher sodium diet - 800-1200mg of sodium per hour. To correctly determine your intake, look at the total mg of sodium (Na) on the label, not sodium chloride (NaCl). Drink fluids according to thirst.
