VINNIE'S BRIEF ONE-ON-NONE

TRICKLING SUGAR

When you participate in sports at a high level, you may need to just have a small amount of sugar in your mouth
- Gives many people the energy they need to reach that 5th gear
A listener had been NSNG 6mos-1year then she got into running half marathons
- Now she is trying to go for a PR but feels like she is missing a 5th gear
The longer you are NSNG, the more efficiently your body can run on fat
- In the meantime, you can trickle some sugar
Many athletes are used to GUZZLING sugar which is why it is harder to go really hard at first
- Your muscles can't take you all the way right from the beginning
  - To complement the use of fat by your body, use maybe one Gu an entire race or even less to get you to your 5th gear
    - Different for everyone but once you become more fat adapted, you will need even less
Zach Bitter, who just set another big record, trickles sugar to help him through
UCAN works well for this
- Vinnie is a fan of plain UCAN and mixes it with a TINY bit of MCT oil
- Shouldn't give you any inflammation
- The product is derived from grain (corn), which is why Vinnie will not let UCAN be a sponsor
  - It is super-starch by the time it is UCAN
    - You never get a big liver-spike
