yeah, i watched his Rogan podcast. freak of nature!

i find that i can stay in ketosis or at least return quickly to it even with substantial carbs. so i certainly am not against fueling with carbs for a race or even training. i just want to figure out the best way to do it, for myself. i do keto for the beta-hydroxybuterate's mitochondrial effects, and it's the best way for me to avoid the insulin rollercoaster. but with intense/extensive training, it's very easy to get those effects even with carbs.
