Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.

"The researchers found that blocking the body's use of fat did not affect the distance the runners covered before becoming exhausted. Blocking fat use also did not affect the use of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates contributed 83 to 91 percent of the total energy used, the research team wrote. The study shows that for high-intensity, long-duration runs, exercising muscles prefer carbohydrates as their fuel source, regardless of whether the runner has eaten or not, says Jill Leckey, primary author of the study."
I have been looking for studies about refuelling whilst running in ketosis when I stumbled across this.
The conclusion was to eat carbohydrates for exercise.
However I couldn't immediately find any indication that any of the test subjects were fat adapted. All they seemed to be doing was tinkering with the fat metabolism. Allegedly this was done by giving them Nicotinic Acid.
"Niacin (or nicotinic acid) is another name for vitamin B3, which is 1 of 8 B vitamins needed by the body to break down fats and proteins and to convert carbohydrates into energy. There are two other forms of niacin, nicotinamide (or niacinamide) and inositol hexanicotinate, which serve as sources of vitamin B3.".
Huh? Nothing to say that giving Niacin blocks the use of fats by the body.
I now think that this is bogus science but if someone knows otherwise, please wave a flag.
