This is a far cry from the your statement that started this dialogue that said I couldn't run 20 minutes due to lack of stored glycogen. I have more than proven what is possible on a low carb lifestyle. I have proven in multiple races that you can indeed race well (as defined by one's peers) while following Atkins.Perhaps running 120 miles/wk like Ryan Hall would also make me faster. You still have not proven I would be healthier having glucose spikes and lulls. I have the evidence otherwise.

Fine, welcome to my block file. I can point Carmello Anthony of the Nuggets, who didn't make past the acclimation period of the Atkins Diet. I don't claim to be better than them -- just potentially more motivated to lose weight.Yes, I know what the Krebs Cycle is responsbile for. You want parting study? "Lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle of endurance-trained males and females," it demonstrates the ability for lipolysis was enhanced in endurance athletes.

"No marathoner who uses the atkins diet can compare to a marathoner who doesn't." I have already proven this statement wrong. I have beat more than half the field at my marathons. My guess there were a lot of carb-loaded athletes. My point is not whether or not Atkins Diet can fuel a world class athlete. Could it? Possibly, but I don't have access to them to test. My point is that you can well be better than average, beat 75% of the field marathoner while on Atkins. I did it.

That's great you train, but if you are going to critique, expect the criticism to be turned around on you. It's apparent you do not listen. I have mentioned more than once that the body does not cannibalize its protein sources for energy. As for the amount of researchers to amount of studies, argue the specifc. Quantity does not equal quality.

First off, turning fat into atp takes over 5 times longer than glycolysis. Your statement shows your lack of knowledge in exercise physiology. Do you even know the krebs cycle? Or what phosphorylation is? The body can always use protein as fuel. Its not dependent upon how much you have. No one said you wre cannibalizing, high protein is the way to go to maintain lean body mass. So your hercules huh? So world class athletes don't have dedication? But you do? I see.

Ethan Vincent Wilson. 19. And I don't race. I train. Your damn right I am a uncredentialed source. I don't need to prove myself to you. Your a dude on youtube spreading lies from a handful of studies by a handful of researchers compared to thousands of athletes using carbs, and thousands of studys showing carbs are superior to protein.
wsman18 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Yes. No marathoner who uses the atkins diet can compare to a marathoner who doesn't. Give me one example a proffessional athlete who is world class, and uses the atkins diet. Also remeber that your comparing one study, or a handful of studies compared to over 40 years of research. Phinney is not God. Sprint performances will be DRASTICALY decreased, more than 10%. Way more. You spread lies well.

BTW - it might pay for you to ACTUALLY READ. Dr. Phinney specifically addresses this point and I have on multiple times is not a high protein lifestyle - low carb and Atkins Diet is a high fat diet.I am so glad I can open the eyes of Iowan, and if you want, look me up at the Bix this year. We can see who wins.

OK time to put up or shut up full time athlete - post your name and where your race results are. Until then, you are just an uncredentialed source.
bowulf (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Exactly... That is the point! You are arguing that marathon performance or endurance training would be damaged. Dr. Phinney said sprint performance was neglibly impacted (10%) in the ketogenic athletes, but in his other study, the endurance of the same athletes was extended by 20 percent. If I was planning on running a 5k in 14 minutes, I might be on the wrong diet, but marathon in 7:30 pace or half marathon in 7:00 pace, I am on the right diet. I have in fact already proven the latter. |
