If you pluck the average person off the street, they're probably less likely to be good at burning fat than they are carbohydrate.

So on aggregate, we probably need to get more people better at burning fat.

I'm with you on that one.

But metabolic flexibility is not just maximize fat burning.

Those are not the same thing.

And that's how people will often describe that.

If you go too hard on one side or the other of the equation, you'll see a whole host of adaptations that compromise the ability to do the other things.

That's not metabolic flexibility.

That is still specialization.

You're just specializing in the other side of the equation.

If that's what you want to do, fine.

We're all for it.

But we generally like to see people truly flexible on both sides.

So if you want to go higher fat in your performance because you feel better, you like it, great.

If you can demonstrate no issues, we're all for it.

But if we're doing it for a theoretical idea and you don't actually have information behind that, then we're not going to support those ideas.

So you want to go higher fat?

Great.

We have had some people where we've tinkered around with some number of people actually.

We've tinkered around with different things.
