“I’ll pass. Since I obviously don’t have metabolic syndrome I really don’t care.”
That is pretty much the same kind of attitude once held by Dr. Peter Attia. Unfortunately for him, reality forced him to face up to the problem despite his Olympian style exercise and dietary lifestyle. It is, of course, your right and privilege to view and not view whatever you wish. However, anyone who is interested in the application of sports medicine, carb loading, and dietary guidelines with respect to sports performance can find much information of interest in his videos. One of his videos has already been posted in this Nutritional Health series, and more with further details will be following in the near future. If you see only one of these videos, the following should be of at least some interest to you or anyone else interested in dealing with the bonk experienced in sustained athletic performances.

Well, after 58 years I know what does and doesn't work for my body nutritionally quite well. If things change I'll then look to the source of that change. But there's no such "reality" I have to deal with now. For those into high levels of weight training, martial arts and high intensity interval training I think a much bigger issue is stressing the importance of protecting your joints and lower back. Things you can get away with when you are young will definitely catch up to you in this regard as you get older. I would hope most people are in this for the long haul. This is why I think "crossfit" is a horrible form of training - its a joint killer.
