Key wellness & performance strategies from the “Advanced Carbmaxxing Guide”

Focus: maximizing gym performance (“motor unit recruitment”) and muscle gain via a carb-timed, low-fat, high-carb approach—while using mainly raw animal foods.

1) Advanced carb-max “double sandwich” timing (core method)

  • Keep the same fast-acting carb “carb sandwich” around training as in basic carb maxing:
    • ~40 g fast carbs before your workout (within ~30 minutes)
    • ~40 g fast carbs after your workout (within ~30 minutes)
  • Add starchy carbs for a longer window to increase total carb calories for performance:
    • ~1.5–2 hours before training: starchy carbs
    • ~1.5–2 hours after training: starchy carbs
  • Goal: reach ~300 g+ carbs on training days (the video example lands around ~325 g/day usable carbs in the carb budget).

2) Carb types & preparation precautions

  • Fast-acting carbs (around workout)
    • Fruit, raw honey, orange juice/juice (emphasized for fast absorption)
    • Bananas with raw honey are suggested post-workout
  • Starchy carbs (before/after training)
    • White rice or potatoes

Precautions for starchy carbs

  • White rice
    • Soak overnight to reduce arsenic/“anti-nutrients” (not necessarily 100% removal)
    • If you forgot: rinse 2–3 times
    • Avoid “brown rice” (explicitly discouraged in the subtitles)
  • Potatoes
    • Peel to reduce anti-nutrients (solanine/chaconine)

3) Macro framework (performance-based tradeoff)

The video frames this as a performance-first approach, accepting reduced “healthiness” compared to more fruit/honey-only strategies.

  • Fat
    • Minimum 60 g/day (natural); 30 g/day if “enhanced”
    • Video example uses ~70 g/day
    • Prefer raw fat sources
  • Protein
    • 0.8–1.0 g per lb bodyweight/day
    • Video later uses a ~165 lb example target (~145 g)
    • Emphasis on raw muscle meat + raw dairy for protein/recovery
  • Carbs
    • Training days target ~300 g+
    • Example allocation:
      • ~40 g fast before
      • ~40 g fast after
      • Subtract dairy carbs (example: raw kefir added carbs)
      • Remainder becomes starchy carbs, split pre/post

4) “Athlete-style” meal structure (3 meals; around training)

Build meals to distribute protein (suggested 3 meals/day).

Example for an afternoon workout

  • Breakfast: light; includes eggs (~4) + some carbs (fruit/orange/coconut water)
  • Lunch (pre-workout): white rice/potatoes + raw/rare meat + needed raw fat
  • Workout window: orange juice (or similar fast carbs) before; bananas + raw honey after
  • Dinner (post-workout starchy reload): rice/potatoes + raw/rare meat + raw fat as needed

Also includes:

  • Optional raw dairy daily (raw milk/kefir/cheese)
  • Macro tracking

5) Raw-food wellness support for recovery/sleep/stress

Several “micro” add-ons are included to reduce stress, improve recovery, and manage bloat.

A) Raw dairy for recovery & gut support

  • Raw dairy (especially raw kefir) is positioned as:
    • A recovery enhancer
    • Potential aid for gut dysbiosis if you get extreme facial bloat

B) Methionine:glycine ratio support (sleep/stress optimization)

Amino-acid balance idea (Ray Peat framing):

  • Aim to shift from a “typical muscle-meat” ratio (~1–1.5) toward ~1:2 methionine:glycine

Tools suggested:

  • Bone broth (or concentrate) for glycine/connective-tissue amino acids
  • Glycine powder: ~3 g nightly
    • Claimed to improve sleep quality and counter methionine-associated stress

C) Magnesium supplementation

  • Elemental magnesium: ~200–400 mg nightly
  • Prefer “nano magnesium” if possible; otherwise magnesium glycinate
  • Optional stack with glycine for a sleep-focused routine

D) Raw liver

  • Target: ~300 g raw liver/week
  • Suggested habit: ~40 g per day in the morning
  • Can be frozen for convenience

E) Salt

  • Celtic sea salt to taste
  • Positioned as acceptable/beneficial rather than avoided

6) Side effect handling: carb bloat guidance

  • Muscle “fullness” water retention is expected/normal.
  • Concerning sign: severe facial bloat beyond “normal” fullness → interpreted as possible gut dysbiosis.

Suggested adjustment

  • Increase raw milk/raw kefir (especially raw kefir)

7) Who should use basic vs advanced carb-maxing (eligibility guidance)

  • Under 18 / teenagers
    • Stick to basic carb maxing (avoid starchy carbs; emphasize meat/dairy calories)
    • Rationale: support development (bones) and keep nutrients animal-based
  • Maintenance / health-maxers who don’t care about physique
    • Stick with basic (fast carbs only around workout; starchy carbs avoided)
  • 18+ young men aiming to build physique
    • More likely to use advanced (starchy carbs included)
