Bold, well said. I know many vegans and 80% are overweight bordering on obese. There is a lot of studies showing just how bad fructose can be for the body. I believe anything over 100g/day will start to pack fat on most people. To be a good vegan, you must be very diligent about mixing your protein sources to get the right amino acid profiles. Yeah, keto brings down fat rapidly. Pretty simple science, but poor choice for high functioning athletes. More for the bodybuilder types. Lyle has had some really good articles regarding keto. Very smart guy. I personally like a Paleo type diet, nuts, berries, good fats, little grains, lots of lean protein. Funny how many people bash keto, yet many who eat it have much better lipid profiles after 2-3 months on it.

What’s a good sprinter diet for someone who is fairly blood sugar / carbohydrate sensitive?

Also, some vegetarian foods can be really useful. Tempeh is a good protein source, and it is totally unprocessed (unless you consider fermentation processing), as well as easy to cook and way less expensive than organic meats, so I use it once a week or so.
