Thanks for demonstrating the attitude I was referring to.

I don't see where I claimed to be fast, just not needing to eat while doing long bike rides. I enjoy my rides and can go for long stretches any only hydrate.

Not only that, but there is no evidence of it. Zero. Somebody made it up to sell books and products and for some reason people believed it.
Your assumption for why I'm in ketosis, while useful to your points, is completely wrong. Frankly, if my body could handle carbs, I would be eating carbs. Since I'm diabetic and want to stay off meds and insulin, the high fat ketosis diet is what I'm doing. The fact that it allows longer bike rides without needing to eat is just an added bonus, not the reason I do it.
