00:00Pinoy pride!
00:04Welcome to the parade that happened yesterday at the Pinoy Olympics.
00:09Everyone is excited to see the Pinoy athletes,
00:13especially the two-time Olympic gold medalist, Carlos Yulo.
00:17He looks different.
00:19At least they're close.
00:21Before Carlos Yulo met Gintong,
00:25they said it takes a whole village to be an elite athlete and win an Olympics.
00:31And this morning, we'll talk to a member of Carlos Yulo's team.
00:36He's his nutritionist, dietician,
00:40he's from the Philippine team,
00:42and he'll be the Tokyo 2020 Olympics gold medalist, Haidelyn Diaz.
00:46Yes.
00:47So let's welcome Coach Ginette Aro.
00:50Hi, Coach!
00:51Hi, Coach!
00:52Good morning!
00:54Coach, before we start, I want to say that you're also Sara's nutritionist, right?
01:01Really?
01:02Yes.
01:03Wow!
01:04She's an elite athlete and celebrity.
01:08Why not you?
01:09Sometimes, I give tips to Coach Aro.
01:13Coach Aro is good.
01:14First of all, congratulations to you.
01:16Of course.
01:17Because you're also an elite athlete.
01:19How are you? Did you get some rest from the Olympics?
01:23I'm still jet-lagged.
01:28And Coach, of course, we talked about Carlos Yulo's nutrition.
01:33Can you take us through what was his nutrition like?
01:37And of course, he went viral for his carbs.
01:41He said he eats more rice, even in Paris.
01:44Can you take us through that process?
01:48Actually, that picture was taken on his second competition day, in the finals of VOLF.
01:58So basically, Caloy's program is time-nutrition.
02:04His carbohydrates are portioned based on the activities he does.
02:09That meal that looks like it has a lot of rice,
02:12that's specifically designed to give him fuel for the upcoming activities.
02:18But not all of his meals have that much rice.
02:21It depends.
02:22The portions of meals that I give Caloy are very specific.
02:28It depends on the activities that he does for the day
02:31and also on the timing between the meal and his actual training or competition.
02:39So it really varies.
02:41If at that time, Caloy's rice was live,
02:44what about other athletes?
02:46What about their discipline in eating?
02:48Not all of them are like that.
02:50For example, for our other Paris Olympics medalists,
02:54Estienne and Aira, who I also handle,
02:57they have weights that they maintain.
03:00So every single competition day, they have to weigh in.
03:03They can't eat that much rice prior to the actual weigh-in.
03:09So the amount of rice or carbohydrates that I give them also varies
03:14depending on the sport that they are playing.
03:18So it really varies.
03:21We saw your post about the breakfast spread for the Olympians in Paris.
03:25How is that?
03:26When they get it, do they keep an eye on it?
03:28Or is it prohibited for you?
03:30Or do they already know?
03:31Actually, they already know what they will do.
03:34Because the athletes that I handle for this Olympics,
03:38actually, for all the Olympic cycles that I handle,
03:41my approach is a bit long-term when it comes to creating a nutrition program for them.
03:47So when we reach that point where there are a lot of food or a lot of options,
03:54they already know what to do because they are already trained.
03:58I'm just there to supervise their fine-tuning of their food intake
04:04so that their performance is more optimum in the actual competition.
04:10Coach, I just have a question.
04:12What is the minimum calorie intake of Carlos Yulo?
04:15Because his energy exertion is very high.
04:18What is his calorie intake that he has to get for a day?
04:22On a light day, for example, his training volume is low.
04:28I give him around 1,800 to 1,900 calories.
04:33But on a heavy day, he can reach around 2,400 to 2,500 calories.
04:37Is there a bonus?
04:38I don't think he's an elite athlete.
04:40But I think a lot of people consume calories like that on a daily basis
04:43that doesn't expend that much energy.
04:45He doesn't count it, right?
04:46Yes.
04:47So it also depends on the sport, right?
04:49Of course, it depends on the sport.
04:51For example, if he's an endurance athlete,
04:55that calorie prescription is too low for an endurance athlete
05:00who runs for 2 to 3 hours a day.
05:04That's not enough.
05:05So it's not appropriate for other types of athletes.
05:09Coach, we also saw the viral chocolate muffin in Olympic Village.
05:16Is it really delicious?
05:18Is it healthy?
05:20It's not healthy.
05:21It's not healthy.
05:24Because the fat content of the muffins is really high.
05:27But yes, it's delicious.
05:29Actually, when I posted it, I made a joke.
05:33I put yak.
05:34So that they won't eat it.
05:37It was a joke.
05:39But that muffin is really delicious.
05:41Very moist.
05:42It's sweet.
05:43It's delicious.
05:44But there are some athletes who expend so much calories.
05:49They can eat muffins.
05:51They can fit that muffin in their diet.
05:54But not for our lighter weight class athletes.
05:58It would be very difficult for them to maintain weight if they would eat that.
06:02Coach, explain to the Filipinos who raise a lot of eggs in Paris
06:09and deliver it to the Olympics.
06:11How important is that egg in their diet?
06:14Actually, that egg is in our training camp in Metz.
06:20That was four weeks before the actual Olympics in Paris.
06:25So I raised eggs.
06:27Because our egg selection in the hotel where we stayed,
06:31we only have the option of scrambled eggs or omelettes.
06:37There are some athletes who really look for boiled eggs in the morning.
06:42So I was forced to do it myself.
06:44Because the hotel can't accommodate cooking eggs in the morning in their kitchen.
06:51So I was the one who cooked instead of feeding the athletes.
06:55So I decided to cook the egg omelette.
06:59Of course, if they win, they can eat the medal.
07:02It's tempting.
07:03It's also chocolate.
07:05It has a lot of iron content.
07:06Coach, you're also the nutritionist of one of our Olympic gold medalists,
07:12Heidelin Diaz.
07:13How does it feel when the athletes you're holding become our medalists?
07:19Of course, I'm happy.
07:21I feel honored also by merely working with them.
07:25It's a bonus that they were able to participate in these two Olympic cycles.
07:30I'm happy that I was a part of their success.
07:33I'm very grateful, of course, that I was given the opportunity to work with these elite-level athletes.
07:39Congratulations, Coach. You're amazing.
07:42Last question for you.
07:44Does Team Philippines have a plan for the 2028 LA Olympics?
07:49They're going to eat first.
07:51They're going to party first.
07:53I told them to take a break first.
07:57Celebrate first.
07:59It's time for them to enjoy life, of course.
08:02I understand that they really sacrificed to prepare for the Olympics.
08:07But for the upcoming Olympic cycle, our next Olympic cycle for LA,
08:11of course, we're going to start the preparation
08:14so that the other athletes that I'm handling will qualify.
08:19Their aim is to qualify for LA.
08:22So I have other athletes also that I'm helping who would want to be part of the LA Olympics.
08:28President Bongbong Marcos is open to hear what the team needs.
08:34What can you say to him, Coach, about nutrition? Is it okay?
08:40Yes, it's okay.
08:42But of course, I would also ask for additional help for providing.
08:46The day-to-day fueling needs of our athletes.
08:50There are still challenges in terms of what they need in terms of food and supplements.
08:57So that's all I can say that our athletes really need.
09:03I can see that nutrition is also important, right?
09:06It needs to be budgeted.
09:08Chicken panabong, there are so many supplements.
09:10That's true.
09:11Okay.
09:12Coach, thank you so much for your time. Congratulations.
09:14Congratulations, Coach.
09:16Coach Aro, take care.
09:18Well done, Coach.
09:19Thank you. Thank you so much.
