    Yes I suppose I am hardly a 'top runner' but it's great to just run no horrid gels either

    I know that some top runners don't carb-load and it is indeed possible to be a runner on LCHF. So, try it out?

    I think quinoa is the only low GI whole grain? Certainly brown wholemeal bread is not low GI

    You can see and feel the effects of quitting sugar. Less dental costs. Less brain fog. Lightness of body.

    There appears to be an effect, but it's not mega. I imagine that quitting sugar etc., would have much more of an effect.
