Can we really trust the keto craze to fuel our pedals, or are we just sacrificing our performance on the altar of trendy diets? I mean, think about it - our bodies are designed to run on carbs, yet were trying to convince ourselves that a diet devoid of pasta and pizza is the key to unlocking our cycling potential. And dont even get me started on the so-called benefits of ketosis - increased fat burning, sure, but at the cost of depleted energy stores and a sluggish metabolism. Are we really willing to trade in our explosive power and endurance for a fleeting sense of smugness about our dietary choices? And what about the poor, neglected carb - the very macronutrient thats been fueling our rides for centuries? Is it really so bad to load up on complex carbs and let our bodies do what they do best: convert them into energy? Or are we just too caught up in the latest fad to listen to our own bodies and trust the science?
