    Salmon? It looks great. We had king prawns in a cream and Parmesan sauce with fried courgettes and mushrooms. It was very tasty. Earlier we had some low carb cookies made to a Erwan Heusaff recipe.

    A Covid 19 busting breakfast here in the JohnAsh household. Mrs Ash had the same but with one less egg. The fat in the breakfast will correct for any cholesterol or lipid imbalances rather than create them (over the long term). Plenty of Vit D there too.

    And with a breakfast like this you may not even need lunch. Main thing is... no cereal, no fruit juice, no hash browns or other carb heavy foods.

    This guy ran 100 miles over five days on water alone. How did he do it? The brain requires glucose so how did he manage it?

    James Cracknell, Workd Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist, the oldest man to enter the Oxford / Cambridge boat race explains how.

    “Aged 46, Cracknell defied his age to become the oldest man to ever compete, and win, the Oxford Cambridge boat Race in 2019. According to his social media pages, Cracknell, now 48, took on this feat to prove that the body can be fuelled by fat alone. “

    How did you get on with that Oss? I was doing a full days physical work on a bowl of greek yoghourt, some double cream and low carb granola with a handful of berries. I didn’t feel hungry. How did I manage that? I have to admit that it surprised me. I ate again when I got home from work.

    I did for a while have coffee with butter and cream for breakfast. Some sweetner added. I didn’t particularly enjoy the added butter. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t so great either. But it sure did keep me full. Some people add MCT oil to that when in fat burning mode and describe the effect as like the effect of rocket fuel.

    I've been doing that for 40 years John, when I moved out of my parents flat aged 21, I had to force myself to have breakfast, there were times when I would regularly eat in the morning but it never lasted long.

    And in the early 1980s I used to walk three miles to work and back everyday, took about 40 minutes each way.

    When on the road in later life living in hotels, mostly Premier Inn, I would have breakfast but that was more because it wasn't me having to cook it, I was largely too lazy to make anything even cereal for breakfast.

    So the big question is what did you eat after you fasted? That’s important.

    This is a few years old now. If you listen to Shane Watson (Australian Cricketer) you might recognise what he says matches your own thinking on foods. Peter Bruckner (Australian Cricket Team Coach) is featured. The coverage of endurance cycling is also interesting and we get a bit of a clue on how the British may have become such high achievers in the field of cycling.

    The history of Tim Noakes is very interesting as he spent 33 years advising athletes to front load with carbohydrates only to realise he got it radically wrong when he gave himself T2 diabetes through the high consumption of carbohydrates.

    Peter Brukner OAM, MBBS, FACSP, FACSM, FASMF, FFSEM is a specialist sports and exercise physician and the founding partner at the Olympic Park Sports Medicine Centre in Melbourne. Peter is a world renowned sports medicine clinician and researcher. His most recent team appointments have been as Head of Sports Medicine and Sports Science at Liverpool Football Club and, until 2017, Team Doctor for the Australian cricket team.

    It's more than calories, you said that before killjoy, I figured it was a loaded question :) it's about cardio, and fitness, and enjoying it :)
