DIPSLICK Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 In 2013 I was doing high fat rode long rides well went into joberg2c in ketosis, but as you say stage races are not exactly high fat friendly, I'm a weekend rider nothing SERIAAAS but I must say when I was on high fat I could just jump on the bike and not worry about , juice,bars,Oates , snacks,Yes I wasn't trying to win anything I was just enjoying not worrying about what I ate and what I had eaten before a ride I had my longest sustained energy on high fatI Never had an issue with going hard(my hard,,not that hard) on high fat, it was just hard work eating enough fat, and I don't have an issue with fatty foods I had a problem getting sooooo much down for the correct % to stay in ketosis is HARD WORK Dirt De Vil and Rocket-Boy 2

DJR Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Just a little reminder that the Banting diet is not for everyone. It is the right thing for some, but to think that it is the ideal for everyone, is similar to putting diesel in all cars and expecting them all to run better.

Escapee.. Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Yes and no. Closer to the front the racing is far more variable with teams breaking away, lightweights attacking on hills, bigger guys smashing the flats, less technical teams having to catch up after tricky descents etc. These are the times you spend in the red zone - sugar will allow you to do this whereas protein/fats/oils will effectively put you in debt and require a bit of a recovery. Middle and back of the field you can choose your own pace - front of the field you're sometimes forced into big efforts. On Saturday I was sitting behind a steam engine on very long flat section. Felt the life being sucked out of me, low carb low sugar didnt help me, the only thing that saved my life was a coke

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I don't know if I believe that. how does he float after that breakfast?it's true...  couldn't believe it myself, but after extensive research it is actually a snapshot of what he eats on an almost daily basis.Â
