Here is an interesting piece on carbs for those of us that aren't strict LCHF from Mark's Daily Apple. It's about the variety and quantities of carbs, worth a read. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/starch-fallback-food-or-essential-nutrient/

Because all the men would have jumped to her rescue.

Read this in an article on BBC's website now: Saturated fat Saturated fat is the kind of fat found in butter and lard, pies, cakes and biscuits, fatty cuts of meat, sausages and bacon, and cheese and cream WTF is pies, cakes and biscuits doing there?? I'm sure most of us know that this is the problem, the common misconception amongst those that are anti-fat think that treats like chocolate bars, cakes and pastries are high in fat and that is why they are unhealthy and make you fat. Meanwhile it is all the damn sugar and refined carbs. I suppose it irks me because they put the healthy choices of food and the unhealthy in the same category. edit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-24625808

Woolies sell double cream. Spar also have a double cream home brand and Dairybell make as well. All the above are Greek yoghurt. and can get the latter at Spar.

I used to get Almond butter @R42 per 410g from Ambassador Foods before they closed down their retail store. I see the Crede is R75.50 per 400g.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't HappyMartin have connection in Tzaneen? Been meaning to query this for a while now.

Ketosis is a very slippery slope, so unfortunately eating a bowl of oats in the morning, before exercise WILL take you ten steps back. Your aim is to reduce carbs so that you reduce the amount and level of insulin spikes in your body. Insulin and ketones are inversely proportional. So rather save the oats for after the ride. For breakfast rather have protein and fat. JCZA races with carbs BUT he eats eggs and bacon for breakfast and avoids carbs before racing. I was reading on Mark's Daily Apple earlier today about oats, more specifically rolled oats. I was researching because Oats are a grain and people that are Pro fat say that grains have no place in a humans diet. Mark Sisson wrote that many people had written in asking for his opinion on the matter. He said that as far as grains go, oats are better (read: less bad) compared to wheat. The problem is that oats contain phytic acid, "As far as phytic acid (or phytate) goes, oats contain less than corn and brown rice but about the same amount as wheat. Phytate has the tendency to bind minerals and prevent their absorption. So, even if a grain is rich in minerals, the presence of phytate prevents their full absorption. Ingestion is not absorption, remember." So that is one of the problems with grains, it prevents the absorption of minerals. He did say that fermented oats are better than wheat but rice still comes out on top of the grains list. Link: http://www.marksdail...e-oats-healthy/ edit: I said oats earlier instead of wheat.

Hahaha. I'll get into contact with them and see what can be done.

Just don't make the mistake I did, eat carbs in that 45-60min window post exercise!!! You need it especially if it was a high intensity workout. Peter Attia would eat up to 100g carbohydrates after a 6hr ride at an intensity well below VO2Max, ie rides in the fat burning zone. He would eat that amount of carbs without falling out of ketosis purely because it was in that recovery window post exercise. This has to do with the GLUT-4 stuff @davetapson posted on a few pages back. Carbs play a vital role in one's diet and body, one needs to understand that. Because you are now on the LCHF journey you need to make the correct and smart choice of WHICH carbs to eat and WHEN. LC doesn't mean villainize carbs. I assume you are eating <50g CHO a day? Carbo load on butternut and sweet potato the night before a race if you feel you need to. NO wheat or anything derived from wheat, so no pasta, bread etc. Eat veggies that grow above the ground in normal circumstances. Eat veggies that grow below the ground post exercise as well as butternut and sweet potato to help replenish your glycogen stores. So higher carb food items. Eat lots of salad, if you don't enjoy salad, find ways to dress it up to make it interesting (grated hard cheese, moderate amounts of peppers and spring/salad onions, salt, pepper, a little fresh lemon juice and lots of olive oil.) And don't be scared to eat stuff on the bike, when in the adaptation stage it might slow down your bodies learning process of using ketones as fuel but it will not hinder the process.

Your approximations where off, I'm showing the specific spot...

The only times I have a carb heavy meal is directly after I ride, I cook some oats, well partially cook them, I just bring them to the boil. It takes about 2min and then I add cocoa powder, cinnamon, cream, butter, coconut oil, 2 egg yolks (makes it nice and creamy and ups the protein) and half a teaspoon of raw honey. How hard I ride depicts the amount of oats I make, it varies between 50-100g of uncooked oats (30-60g CHO). It seems to be working for me in the last week and a half. So my weight is stable because besides for the post ride recovery meal, the rest of my diet is LC with no ill effects. I'd say it is a good approach, only indulge in carbs during and after exercise. This way I don't become carb intolerant and I get enough carbs to train properly.

That is one strange banana.

Same as the one below, the only thing I could think of is some sort of mushroom.

There is also Tim Minchin in all of his forms.

Also worth a watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wGa-SmfULU

The above led me to this, great rendition of a great piece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wGa-SmfULU

My mate and I decided come rain or shine, we will be riding. Landed up being a really enjoyable 70km. But it was rather greasy out there. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3765/10385411516_51c2b0e47e_b.jpg
