The sad part is nobody is actually offering me advice here. Just nailing me for doing things differently and undermining my knowledge on energy/metabolism pathways in the body. I'm leveraging the PPP (pentose phosphate pathway) for restoring muscle glycogen on a low carb diet and tapping into my fat reserves to fuel my activity rather than choosing to fuel with carbs (highly oxidative/inflammatory pathways).
Go and google Volek's work on fat adapted athletes. It can take 24-36 months to become truly fat-adapted, and most trainees are too impatient to cut carbs long enough to allow for complete adaptation to occur.
