Fat Loss agents

This diet will make u slower. Too little carbs in it.

You dont need carbs... you need fat and protein...

The human body is quite capable of making enough carbs (under almost all circumstances)

I'm a massive fan of Prof Noakes but anyone that thinks they're gonna go fast without carbs is mistaken. Far yes, fast no. I've tried.

Nope - can't deliver enough carbs at high intensities.... if you want to go fast and hard, eat carbs during the ride (and a couple of days before)

I don't know.... diet plans just seem to make life more complicated... Isn't it complicated enough if your trying to live a normal working life and train for [insert your events] ?

 

All you need is a bathroom scale, weigh yourself often at the same time (morning when you get up and after going to the loo before you eat or drink anything). Then depending on your goal weight adjust your food intake... if you need to loose its simple EAT LESS if you loosing to much EAT MORE

Even Tim agrees with you - nutrition before and during a race should remain carbs.

So a monster and pizza slice should be the bomb...no really. The spar at magaliesburg sells these big pizza slices, down with a monster......like jetfuel back to jozi

I think there are more carbs in coke than monster.... seriously... and I like the taste better....

 

I have watched one of my training partners bonk completely (had to push him about 5k) after a long training ride (150k road) and stop at a café less than 1km from home for a coke.... and then kill the rest of us on the last steep climb...(3rd avenue linden) 5 minutes later...

No carb Monster is my staple when I don't have readily accessible coffee supplies.

Yes, that why you dont need it all the time, during your normal day-to-day diet... only when training...

[Cellar]

I know dieting is the key here, but was wondering if you guys are using some sort of supplement to assist in fat loss?

 

Clenbuterol.

Spot on BUT make sure you have that pizza at least 2 hours before the ride else it wont be available as fuel. Else liquid is best.

Slender Wonder. Very expensive in my eyes, but might be forced to follow the diet. Had some bloodwork done, and you know it is bad if the Doctor phones you...

A pizza two before a ride is perfect for me. Don't need to take a snack with me on the bike cause I eat the pizza again on the ride

JC - it will be available, but not as fully available - this is easiest to test with a diabetic, but you see blood glucose increases changes with minutes after eating.

 

If your glucose metabolism is normal, you won't see it as clearly as in a diabetic, because blood glucose levels are regulated by insulin (and some others too) and that keeps the blood glucose levels more stable in normal people by 'removing' additional glucose from the bloodstream by driving it across the cell walls into tissue (muscle and fat) faster than what happens in a diabetic.

Was thinking more along the lines of Spur/Nandos burger stops and what normally happens on the next hill.
