Pancake diet
Sources:
The concept of a "pancake diet" comes from an episode of the featuring Devon Larratt, a professional arm wrestler. Larratt humorously refers to his high-calorie, high-carb diet, including pancakes and bacon, as the "pancake diet." He used this diet to gain mass and strength for arm wrestling competitions. During the podcast, Larratt mentions consuming various foods, including unhealthy options, to bulk up and be as strong as possible 1.
Despite discussing different diet approaches, Larratt suggests that the key for his sport is simply consuming enough food to meet the energy demands, regardless of specific diet types. He emphasizes not overcomplicating diet but ensuring sufficient intake, especially when aiming to compete in higher weight categories 2.
For a humorous and light-hearted take, Lex Fridman encourages listeners to check out a video where Larratt demonstrates cooking pancakes and bacon, presenting it as part of his "Canadian meal" 1.
