Here's what you asked for. Great study on long-term keto adapted by experienced researchers and canny keto guys. l learned a lot. But the glycogen graph troubles me. If it is to be the sole support for a theory, we need to look critically at the data.

The inconsistencies are: 1. Why break down so much glycogen during exercise for a non-oxidative fate? (not a a biggie but needs more thought). 2. It contradicts the findings from the other great study (Webster, Capetown) of long term keto cyclists. Glycogens different here. Why?

3. For context, look at high carb runners in Volek study. Glycogen restoration ~20 mmol/kg ww/h from 43 g carbs. I added this to review of post-exercise refuelling from many studies over many decades and it's off the charts. Possible explanation = gremlin in glycogen assay

5. And here's the big "take home". I believe we all go into research projects to do the best job possible. It's already hard enough to get funding and opportunities. Sometimes errors and flaws happen, but we can still learn. Why make it more miserable by being mean and spiteful?

4. I concluded we need more studies and suggested to @DrPaulMason we work on this together. (I thought we were doing this, actually. Generally try to work with like-minded open-minded people. Invitation stands if you can cut "grotesque" from discussions of other people's work)
