I would assume being able to run that distance would mean as a whole my body is healthier

Fundmark, I guess you would have to define what
work means? (Sorry, I haven't read through the entire thread if this has been examined)
Everyone is wired up a little differently. I have no doubt this guy experienced short term 'results' whatever he was doing. I would be interested in seeing the effects of long term metabolic derangement with such a diet, however. I have never seen even one of these extreme fad diets be sustainable long term. No because the person wasn't able to maintain the diet, but because the 'results' eventually began to reverse themselves.
