I wouldn't race on any 'keto' or 'fat adaptation' diets. They just don't work when performance is required above and beyond the weight loss they might offer.
Most of the fat-adapted anecdotes are bullshit too - look at their diets and there's tonnes of carbs in them. Rice and a rugby team spring to mind.

I know little about it but keep meaning to look into it. Didn't Josh ibbet do it the year he won TCR? And Juliana Buhring is into it.
Based on zero knowledge, I sort of feel it might work better for ultra endurance rather than for explosive / high speed stuff.
If you do it, you can't drink beer so it's a bit extreme.

I'm doing it currently for weight loss, but not sure if I will maintain it once I'm doing the longer stuff from April onwards.
