Basically as you move up the intensity ladder, fat oxidation decreases and glucose oxidation increases. At the top end you’re running, mainly on glucose.

Soccer is game with a lot of quick anaerobic bursts. What Major Domo said about gassing after a few reps would hold true here as well. Thus, the typical soccer diet:

Carbohydrates are also key on game day, especially before the event. Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney consumes a sugary cereal and a banana before a morning game. He'll top that off with cereal bars and energy gels that are offered in the stadium dressing room. The International Association Football Federation, or FIFA, notes that eating too few carbohydrates immediately before a match can be the downfall of many players. FIFA suggests that elite players consume cereal, pancakes, baked beans and toast or yogurt before a match

Ronaldo is probably the greatest all round player that ever lived and is still one of the best in the world at 39, doesnt look like many carbs in there

I eat a high protein diet, with lots of wholegrain carbs, fruit and vegetables, and avoid sugary foods."

Rooney probably pounds more beers I'd wager.

Carbs fuel muscle contractions

Yep yep

Apparently, Layne still stops by. He just posted this on his IG page:

Keto has a lot of benefits for sedentary people -but not for high output aerobic athletes. Other than early season fat loss.

Fueled only with fatty steaks, no carbs.

He may or may not be natural.  The point is that he's very strong and very active, and he eats no carbs.

About 2 months ago I went to a virtually 0 carb diet, probably 50/50 fat protein. Started with a 5 day fast (have done many fasts in the past). Feeling pretty good, went from 220 to 210 (pretty lean to begin with). No calorie restriction

I stopped bodybuilding about 5 years ago (320 at my heaviest, have done it all drug and dose wise) and ride mountain bikes now, about 100 miles per week.

Most of the time I'm at about .6 mmol Ketone and 85 blood glucose according to Keto Mojo which puts be in "mild ketosis"

After a 3 hour bike ride my ketone is around 3.5 mmol and blood glucose still around 85 which is moderate to deep ketosis

Ketone levels vary alot based on activity, more active = higher ketone blood levels which makes total sense since more fuel is needed during activity.



I have sweet tooth and have been eating too much sugar lately. for me it is super easy to not crave anything when not eating any carbs so I just stopped them. Hopefully undoing the damage done by being close to 300lbs for 10 years.

I was worried about how 0 carbs would affect my riding and to my surprise it has not affected it much, I can now do a 3 hour ride fasted and feel to crash vs while eating carbs a 3 hr ride would require 200 grams carbs to not bonk.

Highest intensity efforts (180+ HR) I can't sustain for as long without carbs but moderate-high intensity I can go all day no with no food (around 150HR).

Long term goal is to lose 20-30 lbs to be more competitive in MTB races but 180lbs range would put me in the lightest weight of my life since I was 16 years old so might be wishful thinking.
