Combining Low Carb And Extreme Exercise - The Official Results Of The Great Ketogenic Ironman Experiment

Alright folks, this is it.

For the past 12 weeks - in a build-up to racing an Ironman triathlon - I've been combining low carb and extreme minimalist training protocols...

...I've been biohacking every last detail...

...I've been tracking all blood and performance results...

...and now I'm releasing everything to you in one fell swoop.

If you've ever wanted to know exactly what happens to the body when you use ketosis, a low carbohydrate diet or minimalist training protocols, and then try to pull off a feat of physical performance such as an Ironman triathlon or a marathon or a Crossfit competition or anything else remotely insane, you're about to find out what happens - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I am releasing this entire report as a Premium audio episode - and in addition to detailing all the nitty-gritty blood results, race results, practical fueling tips, workout details and every question about the race submitted on the BenGreenfieldFitness Facebook page, I also reveal some pretty shocking details that you're not going to want to miss, including whether I would ever do something like this again.

Resources mentioned during this audio include:

-My "Minimalist Training" Build-Up to Ironman Hawaii World Championships

-The video of what I ate during the race.

-Downloadable .pdf of WellnessFX blood results

-Official Ironman Canada results

-Low T3 Syndrome article by Chris Kresser

-Article about Sex Hormone Binding Globulin and Cortisol

If you need to catch yourself up to speed, the previous two episodes in this series are:

-The Great Ketogenic Ironman Experiment - Can You Go Low-Carb And Be A Fast Endurance Athlete Without Destroying Your Body?

-The Official "Ask Me Anything About Ketosis & Ironman" Premium Podcast
