I enjoying Jeffrey ist Brownings experience. He can burn 2g fat per minute that is impressing. Zach bitter told he can burn 1,6g per minute. We see he is a very enthusiastic runner also after 20 years of running.
Excellent interview with loads of information. Mr. Browning is open to sharing information and breaking it all down in order to better the recreational runner and the sport of Ultrarunning. Dom did a wonderful job of asking the right questions.
If I understand - and this is for the typical carb eater - the benefits of fat metabolism won't kick in until after the initial 10 weeks of no carbs, thereby giving your body enough time to go through all the stored sugar. Ten weeks - that sounds tough. No wonder not many people do this.

The first 2-3 weeks are the roughest depending upon the individual. This is what we call the "Metabolic Reset Phase"....the remaining 7-8 weeks are an "Adaptation Phase" where you build the metabolic capacity to truly perform on fat with some strategic carbs. Once you get through the initial reset you are through the toughest part.

@@paleopete1 does one remain zero carbohydrate for the 10 weeks and then add in strategic carbs (assuming this is for athletic performance?)
Thank you Jeff
Doesn’t OFM stand for Optimized Fat Metabolism? I mean I got it straight from the website 😅
Yes its all wrong. I trust Tim Noakes. Zero carb for a year now, fat oxidation over 90% vo2max. 10 hr bike rides 6000 calories burned fasted. I dont even need strategic carbs, just electrolytes.
