“There is now evidence that what was initially viewed as “glycogen sparing” after FAT-adapt may be, in fact, a down-regulation of CHO metabolism or “glycogen impairment”. [Stellingwerff et al.] recently reported that FAT-adapt protocols are associated with a reduction in the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase; this change would act to impair rates of glycogenolysis at a time when muscle CHO requirements are high…. [it may] compromise the ability of well-trained cyclists to perform a high-intensity sprint when they need it most- at the end of a race.”

“Indeed, so concerned about the possibility of making a type II error, we embarked upon testing six more subjects with the same study design. Our interim results show [nothing]: 1 hour time trial: CON 41.92km; FAT-ADAPT= 41.94km (P=0.98).”
“…[even though] our FAT-adapt strategy, which has consistently been shown to spare muscle glycogen utilization during prolonged submaximal exercise, it does NOT appear to provide a clear benefit to performance”
