I like TEASERS blurb

Ben Greenfield is a triathlete, and that's skewed his perception some. If a person is keto-adapted they might be less prone to bonking--but there are limits to what the human body was meant to be put through on a regular basis

I couldn't imagine being and endurance athlete and being ultra low carb. Maybe he found that being ultra low carb and trying to compete really limited performance? IDK.. Seems like most people that go low carb are for weight issues. I haven't seen any professional triathletes that are having weight issues. Most of them tinker with diets for the sake of maximizing performance.
