Cois Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 Why 'had to make a choice' for a sin day?We tried the lettuce and Oopsie rolls and all that, so yeah. Will later on skip the chips and get an alternative for the buns. We want to get into shape, and not the shape I am in at the moment. I hate the way I feel. And I hate it when I feel like a super star doing a climb only to realise that gravity pulls hard on me and the bike on a 5 - 7% climb, and strava tells you that your attempt was feeble and not worth much... And the failure we had the last time was having one day, then slipping the next day and then just falling off the wagon.

Cois Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 We will work to get rid of it in time. But just to swing my wife is worth while... We watched the Jamie Oliver war on Sugar, and it scared the shyte out of her. Think the truth hit her hard... And woke me up as well. There was nothing so nice as a cold glass of Coke after my commute home. But then the truth set in that it was a contributing factor to my weight gain.
Pah Bear Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Been reading this thread and found the content most interesting. Been doing LCHF for a year now and feel great about my weight loss and general health improvement. 19.5k's off and dropping. Looking for some info on endurance nutrition. I have committed to doing the 2015 DC and been training for longer rides a while now. I've found my energy levels on most rides up to 100k great with little to no eating on route except for a good breakfast before taking off. Have a concern about bonking when going further and longer. What advice have you guys got for stuff you can either carry with (light) and/or purchase en route. Appreciate getting same advice from the wealth of experience around here.
Cois Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 Will have to have a serious look at what I am eating as well as the amounts. I am on 90,5 kg this morning. Did not want to cycle to work today, but after the weight session, I dressed and got on the bike for the morning commute. And I know my one serious weakness CHOCOLATE has a major impact on both my mental state and my well being.

Eat something small at the forced halfway stop, eggs maybe.

marcellus Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Very interesting thread. Been on LCHF for 3 months and lost 14 kgs to date. Super stoked and gradually increasing my distances and intensities. Enjoying th freedom of 60km rides with only water. Climbing speeds are getting better too!! Will be starting with USN Cramps and Power tabs to aid with higher intensity rides to restore electrolyte levels. Anyone tried this product?
Pah Bear Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Oh oh. Don't start the USN thread again. There has been some lank comments on that subject and most not too complimentary.

Find biltong ok but a bit mission to swallow. BUT ... must admit I have not run out of energy on the 140>150k drags we've done. I do ride with some nut snacks. Thanx Was planning, if no other info come to hand, having my nuts/DF Yogurd/D Cream and berries I normally have for breakfast at the half stop too. Find that breakfast don't sit too difficult and normally ride immediately after without any bloated feeling. So thanx again. Feeling better every week and looking forward to the DC. SimpleDom 1
Pah Bear Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Oh yes, I carry some dates with me. Drink nothing other than water more as I have not found anything suitable yet.
Tracey8670 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 **caution** droewors is not droewors is not droewors !! Check ingredients - been finding droewors with cereal, gluten and sugars in the ingredient list. Buggars SimpleDom 1

Will be starting with USN Cramps and Power tabs to aid with higher intensity rides to restore electrolyte levels. Anyone tried this product?I have been asking a lot about the cramps, as I have never cramped before but do a lot now on #LCHF. 1 stock cube dissolved in boiling water / day is excellent with a high quality magnesium supplement. We cramp because we don't get all the salt from processed foods. Normal (but inconvenient) side effect
Tracey8670 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Someone made a comment about a "sin day". I am learning NOT TO DO IT - not worth it. Then, the final nail in the coffin was when I attended a LCHF Summit last week. Dr Eric Westman says that a cheat/sin day can set you back between 3 days and two weeks. Neeeee wat -
