jcza Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I just completed my second attempt at LCHF. Some of you might have seen my blog when I was doing the Smack the Fat Challenge with Atkins SA. I don't want to hijack the LCHF thread but the blog is continuing and I'll post updates here. http://eatingtotrain.blogspot.com/2015/07/back-on-carbs.html Summary: If you're an endurance athlete carbs make you faster.

I'm yet to meet anyone or see any evidence that LCHF makes you ride faster. Got some coconut oil if you're interested. Special price just for you obviously
Grebel Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 They say round is a shape so I am definitely in shape and it's hard to stay in shape without carbs........
TALUS Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I think it is a sign of a mature athlete when you know what works for you regardless of popular myths, lies and other "facts".
HappyMartin Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I regulate my weight with Low Carb. It's easy to drop weight. As soon as I hit certain targets I add carbs back at certain times in limited quantities. One more kg to lose and I'm back to mielie pap for breakfast. About another week I think. Funny how the lCHF thing sounds so easy but after a month I start dreaming of rye bread with marmalade jam. And Ice cream. And ginger beer. And pasta. Oh dear. Seems I have started already I never go carb free when doing high intensity training. It is simply a waste of time in my opinion.
fanievb Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 My biggest problem with going low carb is the lack of BEER
blondeonabike Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 The problem with any sort of plan that totally eliminates certain foods is doomed to fail for me......The moment I tell myself I can't have something, my rebellious nature rises up and i start craving it. The trick is portion control. Two squares of chocolate form the slab is ok.....but I must make sure I give the rest of the slab to my kids straight away otherwise I will eat the whole thing!
NotSoBigBen Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I think it is a sign of a mature athlete when you know what works for you regardless of popular myths, lies and other "facts".When people ask what diet I am on, have lost quite a bit of weight since March, I always say I am on the 'I am old enough to know what I should and shouldn't eat' diet. Very little carbs, no sugar and mostly protein, I find I can still train as much and hard as I've always done. I do 'race' on carbs though but luckily I'm just a weekend warrior so to speak.
Eldron Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Me - I'm a "middle path" kinda guy. I hate "extreme" diets. Cutting out anything makes no sense to me. Moderation in all things has served me well my whole life. I'd like to claim to be the starter of the MCMF diet :-)

TALUS Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 You could rename this the "Common sense thread "... or " The way it always was before someone needed a retirement stash thread".
HappyMartin Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I think carbs have a place in our diet but the whole fats kill you thing needed debunking. I think we do eat too much carbs. It's nuts to make carbs 80% of your diet. Look at the shape of people. It's crazy
