These days, he still adheres to a low carb lifestyle and is currently following a carnivorous diet where fruit and vegetables are also excluded, meaning almost zero carbs.
Having just turned 45 years of age, his degree of leanness while maintaining fitness, strength and high energy, is now better than when he was 25, which he largely attributes to following a low carb lifestyle. Olaf writes about his personal experience on metabolicperformance.net which includes doing a ten day fast and why he got leaner after stopping long distance running.

The meeting kicks off at 6pm on Thursday evening March 7, 2019 with registration and welcome drinks at the resort.
We are holding our event at the brand new Marriott Gaylord Rockies resort and convention center. Gaylord hotels have a great reputation. The new property opens December 2018 and is located minutes from Denver International Airport. Convenient location and only 5,300 feet above sea level, so the altitude should not be a big issue! We have a large and spacious conference room (Juniper Ballroom: 8,000 SF) with additional break-out space, pre-function area and a large private outdoor heated patio with mountain views. Plenty of room for vendors and mingling. Coffee, tea and water will be provided plus plenty of vendor food samples. Starbucks, grab-and-go and many other food options are available throughout the resort. Locals and out-of-town guests will definitely enjoy the experience of staying over.
