He has an impressive running record, but his diet will eventually fail. It always does. Disease and death is an accumulation of toxins and deficiency of what we require in the amounts that we require. Lance Armstrong got cancer. It is only a matter of time until the accumulation of toxins is higher than the body can handle, and then symptoms will occur. Sometimes the first symptom is death.

Here's some of his diet:

You wouldn't believe the stuff Karnazes consumes on a run. He carries a cell phone and regularly orders an extra-large Hawaiian pizza. The delivery car waits for him at an intersection, and when he gets there he grabs the pie and rams the whole thing down his gullet on the go. The trick: Roll it up for easy scarfing. He'll chase the pizza with cheesecake, cinnamon buns, chocolate éclairs, and all-natural cookies. The high-fat pig-out fuels Karnazes' long jaunts, which can burn more than 9,000 calories a day. What he needs is massive amounts of energy, and fat contains roughly twice as many calories per gram as carbohydrates. Hence, pizza and éclairs. When he's not in the midst of some record-breaking exploit, Karnazes maintains a monkish diet, eating grilled salmon five nights a week. He strictly avoids processed sugars and fried foods – no cookies or doughnuts. He even tries to steer clear of too much fruit because it contains a lot of sugar. He believes this approach – which nutritionists call a slow-carb diet – has reshaped him, lowering his body fat and building lean muscle. It also makes him look forward to running a race, because he can eat whatever he wants.

Please share some vital statistics. And your diet secrets? I’m 48, stand about five-foot-eight, weigh around 147 pounds, but that can go up and down by six or seven pounds during an endurance run, and have 3.5 percent body fat. My resting pulse? It’s usually 38. And my blood pressure stays around 105 over 70. Diet? I follow what I call a Neanderthal man’s diet. Did Neanderthals eat bread, or grains, or rice? Well no, because those had to be processed. I eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, plenty of monounsaturated fats, olive oil and lean protein. Basically, it’s whatever a Neanderthal could catch or pull from the ground. And I really feel great with tons of energy. Also, I love my morning coffee and occasionally enjoy a glass of wine or two. However, no beer or hard liquor; I’m not much of a drinker.
