    http://www.mydreamshape.com/keto-calculator/<- there is a fancy ratio to work it out... Personally, I try limit Protein to 15%, Fat to 80%, and Carbs to 5%. Since doing so, and deliberately supplementing sodium, I'm performing better than I ever have. Like the attached. This in fasted state:

    I've been reading about lchf like a mad man recently, and there is one thing that keeps coming up. All those headaches, dizziness, that horrible fatigue during exercise, constipation.... All could be a lack of sodium. Insulin also makes your kidneys retain sodium. Without so much of it, you excrete it much more efficiently. Which means you need to replace it.

    Each way?!?

    Just another +1 here for www.Melfort.co.za Great product line. I have bought their Beef Tallow, Lamb Tallow, Lard and Duck fat. Awesome stuff!

    I've decided decided I prefer the thicker version. I actually get a little excited when I realise that I've pulled them out the cupboard. The race version are nice too, but I think I'll be buying trail in future.

    Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on your BPC. It's a pleasure.

    I've gone and had a quick look... .PEPlett, I did an Average 75% of HR for 4 days, each day between 6hr (Shortest Day) and 8.5 Hrs (Longest day). In a one day race, I hit 85% of max for 3 hours, and I felt fine.

    Anyone done this Epic thing SS?

    Bulletproof coffee is a good start. If you feel you need more, it's delicious right off the spoon. Otherwise, if you're really battling, I've seen recommendations of just plain old psyllium husks mixed with water.

    OP, Thank you for this. Exactly how I am planning for next year. I did the PEPlett last year on lchf, and found very much the same. Recovery drink was coconut cream. On the bike, macadamia nuts, dry wors, very fatty biltong, and loads of water. Last day, we finished in the top 30 teams. On brutal climbs, we passed many teams. I'm not saying I'll beat myself on carbs in a sprint, but anything over 70km, I'll give carb fueled me a hiding.

    R60k per team.

    I have been quite selective on who I've asked.... Tried to focus on people who would possibly want to have their brand out on the trail, even though I'm no threat to the contenders in any way/shape/form. Some have said outright, "sorry, can't help". Some have asked for details, and some people have just outright offered to help when not asking them directly but chatting about the race. It was a bit of a surprise I have to say.. Dunno. Maybe I'm just lucky. And of course, some outright laughed in our faces. You know, the way a good friend should.

    So far, all through people we know. Not family. We've asked some, and some have actually offered.

    Commuter on the momsen hard tail riding through lonehill and then down main road. Hubber?

    I'll be in there next year, and have also discovered its not very hard to find sponsorship to help cover the costs. Why? Because I'd like to do it once. I suppose (for me) it's kind of like the comrades of the MTN world. My whole family runs (the comrades). I don't. On the 9 seconds, that's impressive, any way you look at it.

    Hi. I would actually cut the fruit out too initially. Remember, fructose is one of the most harmful sugars. Keep going. The payoffs are liberating. On the constipation, I am lucky in that this never happened to me, so not sure... Oh, and don't forget to increase sodium too. If you're not stimulating as much insulin, your kidneys won't hold onto it as much.

    This is exactly what you should expect. You are going to suffer a bit for the first 2 months. Your body needs time to adapt. Ketosis is only step one. Your muscles need to adapt to using (and preferring) fatty acids directly for fuel. Eat enough fat, enough very low carb, and very important, don't eat too much protein.

    Those are purdy.

    Leg breaker, one other thing... Weight is not really the goal. Body composition is more important. You can be a little heavier, but push more watts per kg.... I'm talking a few kgs difference though. Muscle has weight too..... But that's better weight.

    I heard an interview with some dude (I just can't remember his name) who said a lot of pro racers live low carb and train low carb, but hit high intensity sessions (intervals for example) and races with high carb.
  22. SimpleDom
    Same here. I've just had to go through the fat adaptation again. Hell. I was eating too much protein, and not enough fat. Now it's all awesome again.

    Tracey has basically summed it up. But for now, you can cut out all sugar. Just use it in races. Try eat only complex carbs and whole foods. That'll provide more than enough glycogen, and you'll shed weight.

    Do you ever sell this stuff? My wife would love it. Where can we see more?!
