My wife started a Keto diet about eight months ago, about the time I got my first serious road bike. Since she's the family chef, I eat what she eats and by default, was also on a Keto diet. A supplement to the diet was MCT oil and a distance biker/Keto advocate I know suggested rather than food, drink some strong coffee laced with MCT oil before each ride. I did and progressed pretty rapidly at first. I no longer follow a strict Keto diet (I've lost over 25 pounds from riding... now a tic over 160) but I have been using the MCT laced coffee before rides. I find the MCT oil has helped my... my... uh... Memory!
I can see that as my mileage progresses I'm going to have to make some nutritional adjustments.
