Default Low Carb Diet propelled Chris Froome to (now four) Tour De France titles

Chris Froome wins fourth title:

Article from last year: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/blog/201...-france-titles/

Quote:
British cyclist Chris Froome won his third Tour de France on Sunday, and a key part of his preparation was eating a low-carb diet.
In fact, Froome insists that it was adopting a low-carb diet in 2012 that helped launch his cycling career. He now eats a protein-based diet, but despite profoundly reducing his carbohydrate intake, he has not lost any muscle.

Regular readers of our site will be aware of the benefits a low-carb diet can have, particularly for people with diabetes. These include weight loss, better blood glucose levels and, in some cases, a reduced dependency on medication.

Shocker! NOT!

I'm sure none of us are the least bit surprised that he's maintained his muscle mass - he's probably even built a good bit of muscle eating LC, combined with all the cycling.

Keto-doping and possibly using "Vespa?" In any case, natural doping or not, this victory will turn some heads in the carb-loading sports world.
Well done!
