  • And if you’re one of the people who can crack a beer open with the owners of Google, then you found your right community.

    However, in the general case, I don’t think these count as any individuals communities. You can’t rub elbows with the people maintaining Google and Facebook. You can’t talk to them about issues you’re having, they’re not going to dynamically modify the system for special cases that are important to your community. A community is a group of people who know each other.




  • What are your goals?

    Some athletes will carb load before an event, so that there’s more glucose available for their muscles to perform during the event. This has to be done just before the event, because glucose is not stored in the body, so it’s taken out of the blood pretty rapidly. So if you need this extra performance enhancement it has to be just before the event. This is also a reason many pre-workouts will have lots of glucose/carbohydrates ingredients

    Other athletes will do ketosis training, and do the event with no glucose. This is usually more endurance events. That benefit from long sustained energy consumption for multiple hours, rather than the short bursty glucose-based energy consumption. (Marathon versus Sprint for example)

    You mentioned dieting, and needing to feel hungry, if one of your goals is weight loss: it’s better just to have a healthy diet, don’t lose weight to get healthy, get healthy to lose weight. There are many diets people use to achieve their metabolic health goals, the diet I’ve seen to be most effective for myself and those around me, is a low carbohydrate high-fat diet. But again it’s about your goals.

    Following a diet where you feel hungry, is fighting an uphill battle, it’s doing it on hard mode. Hungry diets are also usually not sustainable long-term. So you might want to investigate a different option
