Ask yourself the same in regards to your condescending ‘wouldn't be interested in journal articles’ smarm.

Got any citation that athletes have moved to a high protein and fat diet to improve their performance?

How many Olympic caliber athletes are on an Atkins diet?

Where is the evidence they perform better as you proposed they would in expounding upon my rather simple point that ‘carbo loading’ was obviously not the same thing as ‘sugar loading’?

From Livestrong.com

An athlete’s diet is not one-size-fits-all, especially on the professional or Olympic level. Performance is everything, and fuel is just as important as an athlete’s training schedule. Olympic athletes that expend the most calories require the most, and swimming burns many calories. The caloric breakdown of an Olympic swimmer’s diet should be about 60 to 70 percent of calories from carbohydrates, 20 to 25 percent from protein and 15 to 20 percent from fat.
