| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, Ben Greenfield here, Sunday afternoon, one week after Iron Man Canada, my family |
| 0:11.5 | is headed out the door to go to the grocery store for a little while. |
| 0:15.9 | So I figured why not sit down and make this the perfect time to fill you in on all the |
| 0:23.4 | nitty gritty details of what happens when you combine low carbohydrate intake and a |
| 0:30.7 | ketotic diet with extreme levels of physical exercise and an attempt at above average physical |
| 0:39.5 | performance in something like an Iron Man triathlon. |
| 0:42.9 | So if you're not a total triathlon nerd or an Iron Man geek or whatever you want to |
| 0:49.4 | call us, no worries, you're actually going to pick up a ton from today's episode because |

| 1:47.8 | So I'll be going into what the plan is going forward into that and and whether I'll be continuing |
| 1:55.2 | with this type of protocol and pretty much everything else that you'd ever want to know about |
| 2:01.0 | low carb ketosis performance, et cetera. So put your propeller hats on because we're going to get |
| 2:06.3 | all nerdy. I have no co-host. I have no special sexy music. I have no voiceover girl. I have no |
