Podcast: Tim Noakes Says Athletes Should Not Always Carbo-load
by Amanda on Jan 24th, 2012 
Athletes are often advised to fill up on carbohydrates to improve their performance – a process known as carbo-loading. But now, prof Tim Noakes, author of Challenging Beliefs, says that about 50% of these atheletes are in fact carbohydrate resistant, without knowing it, which means that the carbs are simply going to their fat cells.
Noakes spoke to 702‘s John Robbie about his recent support of a high protein diet.
