Maybe this thread has been noticed elsewhere? In any case, Chris Carmichael just put up a new blog post:
Why Intermittent Fasting Is Worthless for Endurance Athletes

Basically he says that if that's the only way you can lose weight, and that's your top priority, fine. But don't mistake it for a performance enhancement technique. We've heard before about the performance enhancement technique Chris recommends: "Ride lots," which enhances fat oxidation just fine without sacrificing performance on that altar.
