Take Dr. Berg's Advanced Evaluation Quiz: RESEARCH Endurance exercise athletes' physiology was believed to be fed primarily glucose. In other words, when an athlete depleted their stored sugar, and glycogen they will become fatigued and hit a wall (bonked). This has led many athletes to consume carbs before, during, and after. However, new research has demonstrated using fat as a primary fuel source and using ketosis as a way to do it. This must involve becoming keto-adapted. This is what has been missing - getting an athlete to adapt fully to ketosis. It was then found that elite endurance athletes burned more than 2x the fat than carb-fed athletes.
