I eat low carb and can shit on pretty much everybody at work. Unload faster than just about everybody and keep the pace up until I leave or sort any two people. Heaviest box we get is 150lbs I think and it isn't too bad putting it over my head as long as it isn't super awkwardly shaped or packed shitty and moving around. Can go days without eating and still work like this. Nothing against carbs at all, but I feel good like this. Weekly headaches/migraines stopped too. I do miss oatmeal and pineapple.

That's because it's competitive, so they're still going mostly anaerobically. They're doing long distance but still using muscle glycogen (rocket fuel), hardly burning fat. That's why they have to take sips of sugar and swallow sugary goo every 5 mins. But you take away the sugar and they wouldn't be able to do even a fraction if it. They'd crash. A fat burner doesn't need to constantly refuel, he uses his own.
Here's an example of a fat-burning runner

That's cute. I'm 5'10", 125lbs, and am in excellent cardiovascular health according to my doctor who is the top world authority in her field.
yeah but the burden of cancer/diabetes/alzheimers/parkinsons will be on you

Why are you fantasizing this false dichotomy between fat burning and sugar burning? Healthy people who aren't genetically castrated have an amazing thing called metabolic flexibility. Muscles adapt to whatever the training and nutritional impositions are.

Because I'm not talking about just exercise. Not just talking about some meme 'fat-burning' zone for on a treadmill for 30 mins a week wearing makeup and slutgear while looking for a husband to financially ensnare in your roastie.
Keto is burning almost entirely fat every single second of the day. While sitting. Sleeping. Dietary and body fat, treated as one contiguous gigantic source of energy (i.e. no desperate need to top up every 4 hours) burned just to exist.
Like I said in the OP, apart from obvious cases, keto is the long-term superior fuel system for most human beings.

>(i.e. no desperate need to top up every 4 hours) burned just to exist.
Oh look, you just did it again. Hard to tell if your reading comprehension or self-reflective thinking is to blame, but both could probably use some work anyway.

Proof by assertion? Well that does it. We're done here. Everyone can go home now. This guy has it all figured out.

>In fact, BHB (a major ketone) may be an even more efficient fuel than glucose, providing more energy per unit oxygen used.
>A ketogenic diet also increases the number of mitochondria, so called “energy factories” in brain cells. A recent study found enhanced expression of genes encoding for mitochondrial enzymes and energy metabolism in the hippocampus, a part of the brain important for learning and memory.
>Ketones directly inhibit the production of oxidants, and enhance their breakdown through increasing the activity of glutathione peroxidase, a part of our innate anti-oxidant system. The low intake of carbohydrates also directly reduces glucose oxidation (something called “glycolysis”). Using a glucose-like non-metabolized analogue, one study found that neurons activate stress proteins to lower oxidant levels and stabilize mitochondria.
Scroll down and the article also refers to studies showing keto having a beneficial effect on pateints with Alzheimers, Parkinsons, mild cognitive impairment, and even on animals with ALS.
These benefits are stated to come from KETOSIS, not from 'metabolic felxibility', whaetever you mean by that. Reverting to glycolysis shuts down ketosis.

>>In fact, BHB (a major ketone) may be an even more efficient fuel than glucose, providing more energy per unit oxygen used.
This claim is citationless and I don't understand how this it can be made when glucose has a better RQ and P/O ratio.

>>A ketogenic diet also increases the number of mitochondria, so called “energy factories” in brain cells.
Mitochondrial quantity is not the same as mitochondrial quality or functionality. In many circumstances, less mitochondria are desirable. For example

>>A recent study found enhanced expression of genes encoding for mitochondrial enzymes and energy metabolism in the hippocampus, a part of the brain important for learning and memory.
Yet the net effect on cognition appears negative

>>Ketones directly inhibit the production of oxidants, and enhance their breakdown through increasing the activity of glutathione peroxidase, a part of our innate anti-oxidant system.
These are more easily refutable citation-less claims

As if a compensatory response to restore redox homeostasis is somehow groundbreaking?
