[RBW] Keto Rivendell Commutes and 2 questions
Lum et al, Something that shifting to ketogenic does is require a solid aerobic base, because your body can’t keep up with glucose demands without constant feeding. I strongly recommend looking in Phil Maffetone’s books on endurance. To the comment someone made about the body not wanting to go into ketogenic because it sees this as starving: 2 million years of evolution says otherwise. Ketogenic or low carb was the standard human state until the rise of agriculture, at which point all kinds of problems came in, including increased dental issues, heart issues, and other health issues. Carbs used to be a fall back food, only used extensively when meat was not to be found. Our body’s very negative reaction to carbs is evidence of this.

[RBW] Keto Rivendell Commutes and 2 questions
1) I'm not an expert, but from what I understand, your body can metabolize glycogen from both lactate, and somewhat less efficiently from protein in your diet. I know my performance and energy levels took a real hit for a few weeks when I went low carb, and probably took 2-3 months to really bounce back. Now I can do rides of 3-4 hours without any food, and actually finish stronger. (I'm not hammering, but averaging ~150 watts, and 14-16 mph over a ride). 2) No, I actually don't get burning muscles any more. High efforts are cardio limited for me. Eventually, too much work over my aerobic threshold leaves my legs just weak and rubbery, but not burning or sore. Also, I found I don't get much if any post-ride soreness like I used to. I can do long rides, or some hard efforts that leave me spent, and feel pretty normal the next day. I do notice that all out sprints seem to suffer -- I feel I run out of steam sooner, but it isn't drastic. Maybe a 10% reduction.

[RBW] Keto Rivendell Commutes and 2 questions
Doing keto diet now for almost two weeks (come Tuesday). Been commuting and feel good on rides but I notice that my legs hurt/burn for the first mile or so on rides, which never happened when I ate regular, before the keto diet. Feels like the thighs haven't recharged. Though even when they recharged on former diet they never hurt (hurts like weight lifting burn now). I was wondering maybe without the sugar/carb/glycos coming in that the body hasn't figured out how to recharge after my riding without them. So I was wondering: 1. What does the body recharge with if no glyco stores are available? 2. Has anyone who keto dieted found any effects on their riding? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
