Sugar vs Headaches

[Overlord]

 

 

excellent news there Ontime how did they diagnose it?

 

 

 

The Doc I went to see is a vegetarian. He asked a few questions and and before I knew what was what he had the answer.

Got some funny answers when I asked the receptionists whether the Doc is a vegetarian or not. Kept going until I found one.

 

[Solstice]

Glad you got it sorted...

[Slowbee]

Sir Overlord, pleased you got it sorted.

 

Now the question is, if you put on more weight, will it  make you faster on the downhills and slower on the uphils?

As a vegetarian what are the advantages for you as a cyclist? Reading in Search of Robert Miller. He was also a vegetarian, but doesn't go through the benefits. 

[Gravity Sux]

could be that he's just panicy about the Epic?

 

235 days to go, bit early to start that panic  save it for the last week

Sugar cravings can be caused by protein deficiency. I am a vegetarian and watch this closely. A recovery drink with a good quantity of protein helps me. 

And the winner is HappyMartin. Need to get more protein in my diet. Apparently I am to thin and to lean as well.

 

Sjoe, so jy's nie preggies nie

I think some people just respond better to being vegetarian. Some like Bakkies Botha probably do not. Being vegetarian makes me feel more energetic and alert. I get sick less often than when I eat meat and I sleep better and ride better. Eating meat my cholesterol went up to over 10 and now it is normal on no medication. Only thing is it is easy when training to not get enough protein. I use a protein shake twice a day and feel great

Hate to take your ex wife's side on anything but I do agree with her on this.

If I eat a pack of jellybeans, especially when I hadnt eaten much else to kind of numb the effect, I get a headache..Is that the shugar or crap they use to get them bright colours?

You are just addicted to sugar. Not a good thing. You get a sugar rush and then a dump of insulin and then your body basically overcompensates and your sugar levels drop way low causing the headaches. Keep this type of thing up long enough and you could become a diabetic.  You also miss out on essential nutrition when you eat sugars and ignore real food.
