Hi John: I thought of you when I heard about your experience down the Guadalupe. I used to ride that a lot when I lived on the peninsula. I feel sad to hear about the area for a lot of reasons. Let me know how you like it. > On May 18, 2018, at 9:02 PM, Surlyprof wrote: > > This is fantastic!

Hey Deacon: I agree. Even though I do eat coconut oil at breakfast, often eat almond butter at lunch, and eat olive oil at dinner, I'm still likely not getting enough fat calories. Also, I'm probably not getting 2,000 calories each day. Cannot imagine eating just two meals a day. But hey, I'll

Evan, You may not be getting enough fat colaories. I put butter on my burger (or whatever meat I’m having). We buy ground beef with 25% fat, and it gets made into a sauce or simply put with the meat. Essentially, 80-90% of my calories come from fat. I eat 1-2 meals a day. “Breakfast” is coffee

Deacon Patrick: Thanks for your paragraph! It helps a lot. I suspect that I may be in the middle of low-carb diets. While on most days I eat almost zero carbs, each Saturday I eat a restaurant basket of tortilla chips and about once a week I'll eat white rice with dinner. So maybe those carbs p

Hi Evan, Not to step on Deacon Patrick’s toes, but if you keeps carbohydrates under 100 grams per day you should have effortless weight maintenance. Closer to 50gr is getting close to ketosis but will accelerate fat loss. I agree you are close to being fat adapted if not there already. We are al

Hey Evan! Based on what you wrote, you don’t need a paragraph from me. You got it. Discipline may be the issue? In a given day how much sugar, flour, and other carbs are you getting? You know you’re reaching a point of your body being effecient at burning fat (which can take a while to heal back

Hi Deacon Patrick, "Become a fat burner and see what happens." < Could you please explain, in one paragraph, how to become a fat burner? I ask because a few year ago I read "Eat Bacon Don't Jog," and I liked it, and I followed its diet regimen for at least five months straight, and still today

I'm sure genetics plays a part, but quite a bit comes down to training and probably diet. I started eating low carb about two years ago, and noticed after the rough first month or two of riding that my legs no longer burned on climbs. (Overall speed and power took a hit during that transition,

I need to dive more into the Dr. Maffetone stuff and maybe that will help answer my question, but no matter how much or long or often I ride, my legs kill me after 30-40 miles and 4k feet of climbing. I remember riding with someone on this group (Ahem, Tony) on a ride last year where my quads were
