Author looks like he doesn't even lift. Opinion discarded. PS: To the people scouting his blog. Do yourselves a favor and research catecholamines and the role of stress hormones before taking his advice on performing a single meal a day under what happens to be a caloric deficit scenario. Guy has a long way to go in terms of nutrition and sports performance.

I'm not sure if this is pseudoscience or anecdata but I'm sure I could find six doctors saying that this is a horrible idea. From the post: "I couldn’t find any publication about ultra distances and significant amount of fasting." This is not a medical study. This is an individual and could be anything from simply dumb and dangerous to body dysmorphia. Not everything can be safely hacked, friends.
The only fundamental difference between this and a 'proper' scientific experiment is the p value. All scientific experiments have cavets, and all have a probability their finding could be erroneous. Of course, no one should write a textbook based on this one guys self-reported experience. But, assuming he is accurately reporting it, it is evidence that this is _possible_ which is a very important thing to discover. Y…
Also, everyone's body is different: he may just be a genetic freak who is able to do this. Especially with heath/body claims, be very wary that one person's results will be able to transfer to anyone else.
While this may be possible, I would worry about the effects on your liver. Ketosis does put additional strain on the liver, and while it doesn't seem like the side effects of extended ketosis are dangerous, there simply aren't any studies on ultra-endurance exercise during ketosis. And while studies on extended exercise during ketosis would be a good thing, they should be performed by researchers and doctors who know…

Ketosis is really quite well studied at this point, I don't really think this adds anything to the mix. Also why conflate fasting and ketogenics?
I've seen people die running a half marathon. Please don't push your body to the breaking point just for giggles. Work your way up.

Nonsense. A proper scientific experiment would have controls and independent results and medical oversight and calibrated measurement equipment and a clear definition of what's attempting to be proved. This is a guy fooling around and blogging for attention. Dangerously so. p=1, no scientific method = anecdata. His conclusions? Pseudoscience. It's dangerous to him personally and it's damaging to society broadly to pr…
