David Goggins's diet<\/h1>\n

In this article I am going to look at David Goggins\u201c diet, based on the article \u201cDavid Goggins diet plan<\/a>\u201d published on the drworkout.fitness website. Please note that his diet is designed according to his training plan, but that will be the subject of a forthcoming article.<\/p>\n

Used to getting up early (3 am), he fasts or eats porridge with blueberries, then later in the morning, fruit and nuts.<\/p>\n

At lunchtime he consumes chicken, salads and vegetables. At the end of the day, he has a snack based on fruit, almonds and a source of protein. Finally, his evening meal is made up of fish or meat, salads and vegetables.<\/p>\n

However, this diet isn\u2019t set in stone. He adapts it to his schedule and sporting commitments. For example, in the run-up to a 100-mile race, he increases his carbohydrate intake. Furthermore, he also eats other meats besides chicken (ham, turkey, steak, sausage). Finally, he usually eats homemade protein bars as well as a slow-release protein drink in the evening before going to bed.<\/p>\n

David Goggins is inspired by the ketogenic diet, also known as \u201cketo\u201d, the main principle of which is to reduce sources of carbohydrates, and to increase proteins and lipids through the consumption of \u201cgood\u201d fats. It also appears that there is a dose of intermittent fasting in his way of eating since he goes to bed early and tends to delay his first morning snack.<\/p>\n

My interpretation of David Goggins's diet is that, as an ultra-endurance athlete, he relies on his body's ability to burn fats rather than carbohydrates, the reserves of which run out more quickly during the initial phase of a long effort. With this diet, he also avoids putting on muscle mass, seeing as he is already quite heavy for long-distance races, with weighing between 88 and 90 kg and standing 1.85 metres tall<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
