  • Hi Dave, You are correct about fat burning. It's actually a much more efficient energy source for endurance. It's a total win-win. I have friends who are cross country cyclists and they have switched to fat burning and swear it's the only way to go. In order to jump-start my LCHF (low carb-high fat) diet, I am doing what…

On my way to success, I can feel it. Just noticed something strange, my profile shows I joined MFP in July 2012 but I never even heard of MFP until…
