Lebenslauf: Mit Genuss zum Wettkampfgewicht – Abnehmen als Ausdauersportler
Wie erreicht man schmackhaft sein Kampfgewicht? Und was isst man in Training und Wettbewerb? Der Berliner Koch und Triathlet Philipp Vogel hat unserem Kolumnisten seine Tipps verraten.
To lose weight, one must not rely on sport alone. That much is clear. At least, not when it comes to a normal amount of hobby sports. This is my personal mantra for years, and I am living proof of it. I have conducted countless fat-burning runs with cheese, butter, chips, and wine. Every pound goes into my mouth, and I don't just enjoy eating but also indulge in culinary excellence.
During my Brittany vacation, I brought back an abundance of butter – Beurre Cru, Demi-Sel. Nonetheless, each year I still aim to lose weight in preparation for important competitions. Watts per kilogram are key metrics on the racing bike, so I am determined to increase the latter while maintaining my expertise. The ratio must change.
"Easy, not diet" is a well-known phrase in my household, but it is casually dismissed by my wife, whose willpower to resist is slight. Can enjoyment and weight loss coexist? I ask Philipp Vogel, who knows. Vogel works at the Hotel Orania in Berlin-Kreuzberg and has gained a reputation for his version of Peking Duck. Twice, he has beaten Tim Mälzer in the show "Kitchen Impossible."
Apart from his professional duties, Vogel is also a hobby endurance athlete. He will participate in one of the world's most legendary triathlons, Challenge Roth, in 2026.
