Hmmm David ... that's just off the wall wrong .... your statement is wrong
.... wrong ... wrong ... geeezzz

The human brain functions quite nicely on ketones.

Why would you make such a statement without at least doing preliminary
research?

That's why I warn people who come to this newsgroup to take what is said
here with a grain of salt, cross check what is posted here, make sure what
is being stated is true.

Yes... of course it's possible. Why anyone would want to do it is
another question. You need a minimum of 120 grams of carbs per day just
to support normal brain and muscle function... let alone run a half
marathon. But sure... it's possible. Some guy in London ran a full
marathon wearing an old fashioned diving suit complete with the huge
brass bell on his head and lead boots. He did it... but I don't imagine
he or his body enjoyed it. Much like running on a low carb diet.
