davetapson Posted September 27, 2012 Share Sjoe, I love this thread. So much sage advice. Note the good Professor's advice below. At LEAST 2L of beer (note 'not just water') to be drunk daily for good health... Tim Noakes @ProfTimNoakes@lionelfransman Yes. Drinking to thirst will insure about 2L of fluid ie water is ingested. This is ~8 glasses of fluid (not just water). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmm, a bit too optimistic there bud (pun intended). Beer is known to increase uric acid in your body and that is like poison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grc Posted September 27, 2012 Share Drinking more beer than I have in years, I have cut out all wheat, but still eat carbs, just in lesser quantities. So far I am keeping off about 1Kg per month - so far 9 down, who knows when it will stop. I will increase my beer consumption if there is any fear that I might beocme too thin!!

I was thinking in the line of nuts and droewors. I really am not looking forward to the transitional period. Guess i will be a moody person this coming week. I will be having 1 carb up day every saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess i will be a moody person this coming week. I will be having 1 carb up day every saturday You should read that books mentioned earlier in this thread. The first 2/3 weeks is critical. It would suggest NO carbs in this period with bare min (<20 grams a day) all in leafy vegatables. Some nuts have too much carbs in them. No off days in those 2/3 weeks, or else you will just delay your transition to burning fats for fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard 1973 Posted October 14, 2012 Share I will be trying a keto diet from tomorrow! How will i fuel my longer rides? Well, I did the One Tonner today, 156km, no breakfast, Water only (3 bottles) finished 5H30 (40min improvement over last year). I felt good the whole ride, no dips in energy. I checked blood glucose after ride 3.5mM (Medics were happy to help), I wasn't hungry until late afternoon, Once adapted, hunger falls away. Note full adaption period may take up to 12 weeks, but initial phase only 2-3 weeks. IMHO well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madscot Posted October 14, 2012 Share Some other reference material that I found interesting is 'Why we get fat' by Gary Taubes. Good insight into how what we eat transates into at the cellular level and the interaction with insulin and other hormones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blood glucose also about 3.5 - 3.8 after exercise. I have hand meters at home (son T1 diabetic) I agree with the adaption periods you mentioned.
