I have been doing a lot of layman reading up on LCHF, including the book "...Performace", but not the original Lifestyle book.
For anyone that is keto adapted (or was at one time) AND doing regular structured cycle training or brevet riding, I would appreciate some answers:

1. Were you able to continue your regular training as you became keto adapted?
2. How long did it take to get keto adpated?
3. Do you intend to stay keto adapated, or if you are no longer, do you intend to get back to a keto adapated state?
4. For someone who is ready to start, what dos or don'ts can you suggest.

I think I have to change my diet, especially during brevets, because of gi and acid reflux problems.

PS - let's not get into a discussion of OPINIONS of the pros/cons of lchf for cyclists.
Not sure how you (or anyone) could have gotten that impression. Baguettes, Nutella, gels, bananas, croissants, and Coke don't strike me as LCHF.
