In this video Peter Defty challenges the escalating carbohydrate consumption trends among athletes by highlighting six facts which are lost in the hype on high carbohydrate fueling but are critical to health and performance.

1. All Concentrated Carbohydrates Are Essentially Sugar: Regardless of the source, concentrated carbs are metabolized as glucose, impacting blood sugar levels.

2. Non-Starchy Vegetables Are Negligible in Carb Counts: These vegetables have minimal effect on blood sugar and can be consumed freely.

3. Excess Protein Converts to Sugar: Surplus protein, especially free amino acids, can be transformed into glucose, adding metabolic strain.

4. Overconsumption of Sugar Leads to Addiction: Consuming too much sugar causes hormonal imbalance, resulting in dependency and energy fluctuations.

5. Excessive Sugar Intake Deteriorates Metabolic Health: Chronic high sugar consumption contributes to glycation, oxidative stress and elevated lactate. Chronic consumption is directly linked to diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

6. Athletes Often Underestimate Their Sugar Intake: Most athletes have no idea just how much sugar they are consuming when adhering to standard dietary guidelines for sports. In the 6 months leading up to an endurance event they are essentially consuming their body weight in sugar.

While Peter emphasizes that carbohydrates are essential for peak performance, the current high intake levels are unnecessary and harmful if done long term. At the same time he offers a proven solution hundreds of athletes have already employed to reduce their sugar consumption by at least a third and up to two-thirds without compromising performance.Many have gone on to win or set records, but, most of all, they retain their robust health and ability to perform in all aspects of Life! 

The solution is part of a journey and every journey begins with that first step. The simplest way to get started, without making any changes to diet or fueling (other than using less), is to use and experience Vespa, a natural, stimulant-free metabolic catalyst to ‘jump start’ your native physiology.

This allows you to tap into and harness your body's limitless energy reserves for sustained energy level, improved focus, and a recovery you have to experience to believe is possible . . .  all while decreasing reliance on excessive carbohydrate intake.
