[QUOTE="uart, post: 1704693, member: 41696"] Hi jcbman. You do realize the the opening post here was about a 67 y.o. cycling 20 miles, right. To compare this with Olympic level sports is a complete straw man argument. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man[/URL] Actually it's about as classic an example of a straw man argument as I've ever seen. The point that the op is making is that they can still perform significant levels of exercise, whilst maintaining excellent blood glucose control, using an LCHF diet. If you want to argue about what is the best diet for a non diabetic Olympic athlete, then that is clearly another debate entirely. In events that require intense bursts of energy then I agree, most will favour high carb. In events that require great endurance however, many athletes are finding favour with high fat diets. None of this however is particularly relevant to the diabetic, for whom a high carb diet is not an option. [/QUOTE]
