The common theme I've seen in reading through the comments so far is the striking difference between those that are very well versed in the low carb/no sugar lifestyle and those are relying on understanding of "traditional" nutrition understanding. Please keep in mind that many, many of the traditional thoughts in nutrition are currently being upset. Nutrition and athletic performance have been largely ignored in scientific circles, often relying on single variate, unrepeatable, p-hacked studies that were taken at face value and never questioned. That's not to say that this post is either gospel or trash - it's probably somewhere in between. This domain is currently changing a lot so stay tuned.
