Watts Doc #10: Can Fat-Adaptive Diets Lead To Better Performance Through Glycogen Sparing?

One of the theorized benefits of low carb or ketogenic diets for cyclists is that it spares glycogen so it can be used when needed most. Kolie and Kyle walk through a paper investigating this question. They then discuss the upsides and downsides and potential utility of fat-adaptive diets in daily training.
