LCHF - Low Carb High Fat Diet Ver 2

[jcza]

There was a study done and the results showed that one needs 40gr of carbs per hour. This is roughly 1 x bottle and 1 x GU. You need to start the intake immediately as you will never be able to fully replenish no matter how much you eat/drink. Liquid is better than solid food and the higher the nutritional content the longer it will take to digest. Protien is not a great energy source. If I remember correctly from the old thread 1 banana = 2 GUs. Also bear in mind that the faster/harder you ride the more likely you'll be to need carbs.

I think once I realised the legs felt better after taking some carbs I went totally overboard and took in much more than was actually needed. (therefore the wording 'stuffed' myself with bananas). That's the reason why I choose to follow LCHF 100% and not 80/20 like some friends have suggested (ie let go a bit on weekends), cause if I give in only once to that one pizza slice I immediately think but how much harm can another one do and before I know it 80/20 became 50/50 and I must start all over again.

 

So this weekend I will try to only take in UCAN and nothing else. That would be the only way to track my exact carb intake needs on longer rides.

 

PS: HMT to make myself feel better I'm telling myself that you are the freak of nature and that I'm the normal one !

Marge I tried 100% LCHF and UCAN but there was no performance. Maybe I wasn't patient enough? I'm now back to LCHF but I have added some carbs in fruit (apple a day) and veg like pumpkin, sweet potato, butternut and similar. I won't eat pizza, pasta etc. However when racing I will add carbs but find that I don't require as much as before.

Let's go with youthful exuberance.

Bit off topic - was reading the old thread today and was wondering what ever happened to DaleE?

Today was quite a learning curb. I forgot to factor in that carbs aren't as calorie dense as fat, so I landed up cutting out a little too much fat at meals so ended up being rather hungry most of today. After today and logging everything I ate (literally), I see that the ratios will be 15/15/70 more or less and I'm still eating at least 200g of fat per day. (With today being the exception.)

Excellent question... DaleE ????

Hi Guys,

Still here, just diluted to lurking status for a while. To cut a loong story short, too much work and a month in Oz has put the LCHF research / participation a bit on the back foot since early June, but training again and eating right since mid July.

Nothing is the same as it was in paleolithic times - not grains, not fruit, not beef, lamb, pork.... The last food that would resemble our original food is wild venison.

 

So when people try the old tired story that fruits are not good for you because it's no longer identical to their ancestors, I switch off.

Mind telling me where your carbs are from besides fruit?

Nuts, squashes, double thick yoghurt, sweet potatoes, mixed veggies, milk.

I try and stay close to Paleo so no dairy ,I do use some milk in fatshake and butter where I can.

Carbs,On a normal day would be one bottle of peptosport(20grams carbs,10grams protein),Some Cashews(sometimes I will mix in some raisins for some exstra carbs),fruit(1 or 2 per day),and veggies(sweet potatoes the night before big race otherwise just normal veggies).That is the main sources for me during a normal week day.Weekend pretty much the same but with maybe a extra bottle of carbs.

 

Try the following for a pre race night....or a big saturday with a long hard ride....Let me know how it works.

1.Stick to the strict Paleo with 100grams per day max during the week.

2.On Friday evening make yourself some sweet potatoes mash...leave the skin on and just mash.Then make a nice bolenaise mince with carrots and brocoli mixed in.

Mince on mash and enjoy!!

3.Then right before bed drink some carbs in the form of maybe fruitjuice...just 20grams or so.

 

Next morning fatshake,just a small one and a banana and then take carbs with but drink maybe a bottle over 4 hours

Would love to hear your feedback on the power.....

Thought I'd post this here.

LMAO!

Made me think of Jozi Shore vid from YouTube. "The biggest gym in the world, it's the kitchen, BOET!"

Another must-see is "Food Inc". This is also about Monsanto but provides huge insights into the food industry in general.

I have copied it to the LCHF dropbox folder, but it is large and will take a while to upload.

We are indeed fighting Goliath when it comes to Monsanto....

 

@tombeej - see if the folder allows you to copy into it and let me know ?

ps. hope you appreciate the 101 Best ever Workshops projects that I put in there just for you !
