Ohlsen went to <a href="https://www.insider.com/why-low-carb-diet-bad-high-intensity-exercise-muscle-loss-2021-2">Dr Mike Molloy of M2 Performance Nutrition</a> for help losing weight, but neither expected the number on the scale to drop so rapidly, Molloy said. A large part of this was water weight due to stress reduction, he explained.<h2>Ohlsen ate 2,400-2,500 calories a day</h2>Molloy set Ohlsen a "steep deficit," aiming to eat 2,400-2,500 calories a day. Previously, he was eating at least 3,600, as <a href="https://www.insider.com/noah-ohlsen-crossfit-swears-by-high-carb-diet-2021-5">he told Insider's Gabby Landsverk</a>.To lose fat and hold on to as much muscle as possible, Ohlsen kept his protein high but dropped his carbs and fats more: He ate about 150 grams of protein, 60 grams of fat, and 240 grams of carbs daily, he told <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a38656528/crossfit-workout-diet-noah-ohlsen-fitness-training/">Men's Health</a>."My goal was for Noah to complete this cut in a pretty rapid fashion, so we were looking for about a 25-33% deficit on a daily basis," Molloy said.Ohlsen's default weight loss breakfast was:<ul><li>Whole eggs with extra egg whites</li><li>Sausage</li><li>A bagel</li></ul>Previously, he might eat:<ul><li>An apple</li><li>A banana</li><li>Eggs</li><li>Sausages</li><li>A bagel with fruit spread</li><li>Overnight oats</li><li>Potato pancakes</li></ul><h2>A large amount of his lost weight was water</h2>Part of the reason Ohlsen lost so much weight so quickly was stress reduction, Molloy said.After the Games, Ohlsen's body was carrying a lot of stress, which leads to water retention. So as well as dropping his calories, Molloy set the athlete stress reduction strategies."His body was holding onto a good bit of water weight from the stress of the previous season and dealing with the social isolation aspects of covid etc," Molloy said.Ohlsen reduced his training volume dramatically to one hour a day, focusing on having fun rather than perfection."I also asked Noah to go for long daily casual walks (not runs, no weight vests, sled drags, etc), just to help increase his calorie output in a low stress way," Molloy said.He believes 10-12 pounds of Ohlsen's weight loss was water, and the rest mostly body fat."Simply giving his body a little rest from the high intensity, high volume training would allow for a substantial amount of water weight to be lost," Molloy said.He said Ohlsen also stopped supplementing with <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/best-creatine-supplements">creatine</a>, a naturally occurring amino acid in your body's muscles (also found in red meat) which <a href="https://www.insider.com/muscle-building-supplements">the body converts to phosphocreatine</a> to help muscles produce energy.Creatine leads to intramuscular water retention, so coming off it resulted in 1-2 pounds of further water weight loss, according to Molloy.<h2>Most people should not strive for such rapid weight loss</h2>Molloy wants people to know that Ohlsen's story is the exception not the norm, and it was a "perfect storm of events" that led to his rapid water loss and body recomposition.The reasons were:<ol><li>Ohlsen had a lot of water weight to lose</li><li>He was OK with losing some muscle mass</li><li>He was willing to cut back on training</li><li>He has spent years eating in a calorie surplus or at maintenance, which meant his body was well poised for weight loss, Molloy said.</li></ol>Ideally, Molloy would have liked Ohlsen to lose weight slower, but he said the athlete just wanted to get it done."His weight loss was much faster than I would want for an average client," Molloy said.

CrossFit athlete Noah Ohlsen lost 20 pounds in 2 months. Here's how he did it.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Top <keyword id="972977" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Crossfit">CrossFit</keyword> athlete <keyword id="11345145" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="noah-ohlsen">Noah Ohlsen</keyword> trains up to three times a day and eats around 3,600 calories.</li><li>His daily <keyword id="6358230" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="diet">diet</keyword> includes 500 grams of carbs from fruits, grains, and veggies like sweet potato.</li><li>Dietitians say high-intensity athletes should eat lots of carbs to promote energy and muscle recovery. </li></ul>Noah Ohlsen's motto is simple: "happy, but hungry.""You need to love what you do for it to be sustainable, but you have to keep pushing to get those results, too," Ohlsen told Insider in an interview coordinated by the recovery tech brand <a href="https://www.whoop.com">Whoop</a>, chatting on the phone while waist-deep in the pool on one of his rest days. The 30-year-old CrossFit athlete, routinely ranked among <a href="https://games.crossfit.com/athlete/2725">the top five fittest men on Earth</a> in the CrossFit Games, takes his own advice literally. Ohlsen chows down on up 3,600 calories a day during competition season for peak performance. He also tracks his macronutrients, aiming for about 180 grams of protein, 120 grams of fat, and 500 grams of carbohydrates daily.Here's what a typical day of eating looks like for Ohlsen, and why carbs are so important for athletes. <h2>A hard day of training starts with a big breakfast</h2>Ohlsen starts his day bright and early, waking up around 6:30 am. After a cold shower, Ohlsen takes his dog and beloved workout buddy, Maximus, for a walk.He then sits down to a hearty morning meal. To prepare for his first training session around 9 am, Ohlsen relies on quick-digesting carbohydrates from fruits like apple and banana. He'll include some protein in the form of eggs and sausage, along with a bagel and Mush (a brand of overnight oats). In total, Ohlsen said he'll eat about 150 grams of carbs before hitting the gym. <h2>His staples are lean proteins, veggies, and grains</h2>On the go, Ohlsen said he often relies on the classic standby meal for athletes: chicken and rice, with pita bread on the side. He'll also add in a big helping of veggies like Brussels sprouts or sweet potatoes. When he's not traveling for competitions or training, Ohlsen keeps his meals at home "tasty, but healthy."Some recent favorites include sweet potato ravioli and salmon prepared in an air fryer. <h2>Snacks and supplements fill out the rest of his diet, leaving room for his sweet tooth</h2>After dinner, if Ohlsen still needs to fit in some calories, he'll snack on fruit, applesauce, or pretzels. He also partners with supplement company Evertrain on a signature recovery blend called Post Pro, packed with more carbs, amino acids, and electrolytes.Finally, Ohlsen tries to make room in his routine for sweets, sometimes healthy, sometimes indulgent. "I'm a big dessert guy, and I love cookies and ice cream, maybe more than I should," Ohlsen said. <h2>Experts recommend a higher-carb diet for strenuous sports like CrossFit</h2>While some in the CrossFit community swear by <a href="https://www.wodconnect.com/blog/posts/what-do-crossfit-athletes-actually-eat">paleo or low-carb diets</a>, dietitians say that eating enough carbs can help repair muscles and promote better recovery and performance for high-level athletes.Dr. Mike Molloy, a <keyword id="52652" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="nutrition">nutrition</keyword> coach to Olympians and CrossFit stars, <a href="https://www.insider.com/why-low-carb-diet-bad-high-intensity-exercise-muscle-loss-2021-2">previously told Insider's Rachel Hosie</a> that carbs are crucial for fueling high-intense efforts. Without carbohydrates, the body will begin to break down muscle in order to get the fuel it needs to keep up with strenuous exercise. CrossFit frequently requires athletes to do combinations of running, weight lifting, and advanced gymnastics, racing to complete the workout as quickly as possible.That's why many CrossFit athletes, including two-time Fittest Woman On Earth <a href="https://www.insider.com/i-didnt-eat-bread-for-10-years-worlds-fittest-woman-2021-4">Katrin Davidsdottir,</a> swear by carb-rich foods like bagels for peak performance.

Reebok and some affiliate gyms also confirmed they are <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reebok-gyms-end-crossfit-partnerships-after-ceos-insensitive-tweet-2020-6?r=US&amp;IR=TIR=T">ending their partnerships</a> with CrossFit following Glassman's comment.Some of the biggest names in the sport have said they will no longer be competing at the 2020 CrossFit Games unless something changes, and the UK's fittest man <a href="https://www.instagram.com/zackgeorge/">Zack George</a> told Insider he believes Glassman should resign.The CEO subsequently posted <a href="https://twitter.com/CrossFit/status/1269802501873623040">a statement on Twitter</a> saying his comments were "a mistake."<h2>CrossFit was called out for its lack of support for Black Lives Matter</h2>CrossFit CEO Glassman <a href="https://twitter.com/CrossFitCEO/status/1269404726581288960?">tweeted</a> "It's FLOYD-19" on Saturday in response to a post from the Institute for <keyword id="6354750" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="health">Health</keyword> Metrics and Evaluation classifying <keyword id="44060" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Racism">racism</keyword> and discrimination as a public health issue, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reebok-gyms-end-crossfit-partnerships-after-ceos-insensitive-tweet-2020-6">Business Insider's Shoshy Ciment reported</a>.CrossFit had also been <a href="https://www.rocketcrossfit.com/post/crossfit-black-lives-and-covid">facing criticism</a> for staying silent on the issue of systemic racism, and failing to publicly post any support for the Black Lives Matter movement.When Seattle CrossFit gym Rocket CrossFit emailed the company's management to explain why it was disassociating with the brand and express concern over the company's lack of support for Black Lives Matter, it claims it received <a href="https://www.rocketcrossfit.com/post/crossfit-black-lives-and-covid">a reply from Glassman himself</a> which has shocked many athletes."You're doing your best to brand us as racist and you know it's bulls---. That makes you a really s----y person," Glassman wrote back to Rocket CrossFit, according to an email screengrab.And although Glassman posted <a href="https://twitter.com/CrossFit/status/1269802501873623040">a statement</a> on Sunday night saying his tweet was "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/crossfit-ceo-apologizes-for-tweet-george-floyd-reebok-cancels-partnership-2020-6">a mistake, not racist but a mistake</a>," the vast majority of the world's top CrossFit athletes have spoken out to distance themselves from the sport, condemn Glassman's comments, and even announce they're boycotting the Games.<h2>Top athletes have pulled out of the 2020 CrossFit Games</h2>US athlete Noah Olsen, who came second at the 2019 Games, posted on Instagram to announce he would not be participating at this year's event, due to be held later this fall, unless CrossFit makes some major changes."I've decided that I cannot, in good conscience, compete during this time for a company that hasn't shown themselves to have values that I align with," Olsen <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJzGfpBip1/">wrote</a>.He's not the only renowned competitor to announce "I'm out" either.<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJ6ndRptHm/">Kristie O'Connell</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJy7_tlRA2/">Chandler Smith</a> supported his decision, saying they would do the same."I have yet to speak on anything going on for fear of retribution and must remain apolitical due to the nature of my job," Smith wrote."This decision puts me in a very vulnerable position with both work and my desired future career as a @CrossFitGames athlete."However, I do not believe choosing to avoid participation in this year's event is a violation of duties: to my job, to the sport, or to my ethics."It is my hope that others join me in applying pressure to HQ in order to improve the organization we love and make it better going forward."Tia-Clair Toomey, officially the fittest woman in the world for the past three years, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBKPl8Dh1-E/">said</a> her role in the sport is "unclear," adding that she was "ashamed" to be part of CrossFit."My future with Crossfit is unclear and depends on the direction of HQ," Toomey said."I will continue to stand against ignorance and stand alongside those who fight abuse, hatred, and racism."<h2>CrossFit's biggest ambassadors are angry and disappointed</h2>Other athletes are yet to say whether they will continue to compete in the Games, but many have expressed their anger and disappointment. Icelandic athlete <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJGwcVJjUJ/">Katrin Davidsdottir</a>, who won the Crossfit Games in 2015 and 2016, said she was "truly ashamed, disappointed, and angry."Similar sentiments were shared by athletes including <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fikowski/">Brent Fikowski</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJhCSApu9E/">Camille Leblanc-Bazinet</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJbBkdDHjB/">Dan Bailey</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJfL7tBf76/">Kari Pearce</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJUC5FhJOk/">Amanda Barnhart</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJnHUMhUfA/">Alec Smith</a>. "It breaks my heart to say I don't want any association with their statements as an organization. I'm outraged, I"m embarrassed. I'm incredibly disappointed," said US competitor <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJPpimDAyn/">Brooke Wells</a>. <h2>Glassman's comments don't match many athletes' CrossFit experience</h2>A lot of the sport's top athletes have expressed how at odds Glassman's comments are with their experience of the CrossFit community."As a black man, I have only ever experienced love, kindness, and compassion from the CrossFit community," the 2020 UK's fittest man <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJiH0hBofM/">Zack George</a> wrote on Instagram.He added: "The comments made by Greg Glassman are not those of the Crossfit community, they are his personal views and they have hurt us all."George told Insider that he's angry and saddened by Glassman's comments, and wants to ensure people outside the community don't believe that's what CrossFit is like."A lot of people ask me if I've encountered sort of any sort of racism within the sport, but I haven't once throughout my seven years," he said."The community is so loving and open to any race, any gender, any nationality. That's what the community is about."UK athlete and 2013 fittest woman on earth <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJxj3ql6Iu/">Samantha Briggs</a> echoed George's view, saying that "his actions do not represent our community's values."Icelandic athlete and another former winner Annie Thorisdottir <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJoxorHHkY/">shared a similar sentiment</a>, writing that "CrossFit is much more than one individual."Mathew Fraser, who has won the Games for the past four years, is yet to personally comment on Glassman's behavior, however, he has <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJwOPWAbov/">reshared posts</a> on Instagram by brands saying they would no longer be affiliated with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reebok-gyms-end-crossfit-partnerships-after-ceos-insensitive-tweet-2020-6">CrossFit</a>.<h2>George believes Glassman should resign from the company</h2>George told Insider that he thinks the apology Glassman posted on Twitter was "terrible.""It wasn't a heartfelt apology, it was made for appearances, which isn't good enough," he said.Due to an unusual selection process thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, George just missed out on being invited to the 2020 CrossFit Games. However, he said that even if he were to get invited (if one of the qualifying athletes got injured, for example), he would decline."I would never stand by someone who has those opinions and I'm not afraid to make that known," George said.<div type="image" title="Zack George, CrossFit Athlete &amp; Fittest Man in the UK 3" height="841" width="1121" msid="76265842" hostid="261"></div>If Glassman were to leave the company, however, and CrossFit HQ said they didn't agree with his comments, George said he could see a more positive future for the brand."If he just carries on as normal, that will destroy the brand of CrossFit," George said, suggesting that perhaps another brand could launch which would allow people to keep training and competing together.However, George is pleased with how the community has united in condemning Glassman's comments."It's everyone from grassroots to members of boxes, to affiliates, to games, athletes, we've all grouped together and said enough's enough. We're not going to tolerate this. And something needs to change," he said. CrossFit did not immediately respond to Insider's request for further comment.Read more:<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reebok-gyms-end-crossfit-partnerships-after-ceos-insensitive-tweet-2020-6">Gyms and brands are canceling partnerships with CrossFit after its CEO tweeted an insensitive comment about George Floyd</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/tia-clair-toomey-training-regime-fittest-woman-in-world-crossfit-2020-4">The 5 principles that helped Tia-Clair Toomey become the fittest woman in the world — and how she trains to stay there</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/how-world-fittest-woman-tia-clair-toomey-learned-love-body-2020-4">The fittest woman in the world struggled to love her body when she first started gaining muscle — here's how she learned to embrace her strong physique</a>
