Re: Re: Absolutely. Too bad there was no follow up. I think the next link I posted is interesting (http://optimumnutrition4sport.co.uk/testimonials/) as he worked with BMC and a Green Egde rider. I wonder how that worked out. This though...

Re: I did this for ultrarunning a few years back with very similar results (including improved skin, sleep and memory). Keep an eye out for muscle wasting, and pay attention to the cold hands and such. Volek and Phinney have a book on doing LCHF for athletes that was a big help for me.

This looks pretty interesting: http://eatingacademy.com/personal/experience-exogenous-ketones

Re: Re: Don't mix LCHF & GF; I'm sure you know they are not the same thing. One can certainly do HCLF and GF, and that's not what we're talking about here. It looks like that author did not do a follow up. I think you could look here for better examples...

Here's an interesting application of LCHF, n=1. Check out the output at the bottom of the story: Pretty nuts, and certainly not numbers to ignore.

I don't subscribe to the idea that gluten free has powered cyclists to equal doping levels of performance. Yes and no. My wife has gluten intolerance, she might as well be a gluten testing device :) Give her something with gluten and she's zapped for energy for the rest of the day. Me on the...

I don't want to hijack this awesome thread, but to throw in my 2 cents, anybody around me who I have convinced to do three weeks off of gluten* has found similar results to what the OP has posted, myself and my wife included. My own anecdotal evidence, n = 10 people, more or less, is that...

Thanks for the details, Andynonomous!

Growth hormone and growth factor(s) are not the same thing. PRP has factors. I'm guessing people are confused about the treatment, like that Barca journalist who accidentally stated that Barca were using Growth hormone for injuries when he meant to say growth factors. Oops!

While I don't doubt they all dope, over here in Spain if you happen to go to the conferences and the like of physios, rehab specialists and trainers, people who train Rafa do give talks and outline what they have done, what worked what didn't etc. To say he doesn't go to the gym is not correct.

I do mountain running races of all distances and have been able to stick to high fat, low carb, 1-2gr/kg of bodyweight protein without the suffering that happens when you remove or restrict normal energy sources (FAT, CHO). Its much easier going high fat. I do use carbs a bit pre & during...

While I've only skimmed the article twice now, it seems they are not talking about atkins, but rather... I would imagine that they would want to keep PRO levels at 2gr/kg of bodyweight per day, and then shift the energy source. That's why I went with HCLF versus LCHF. Its also the method I...

Yeah, sorry, too much caffein made me get out my internet police badge.

Witty, but seriously: try going low-carb high-fat and see where it gets you.

So basically they have gone from a HCLF diet to a LCHF diet to train fat burning over carb burning? Or you think that they have access to these special not-very-stable ketones? If you poke around Twitter you will find that BMC is also on the LCHF train...
