It sounds like you're avoiding root veggies and tubers? Why is that? I'm eating carrots, parsnips, or sweet potatoes each day in my lunch bowl, but I'm not eating a keto diet. Just a whole food diet (also lost 30lbs this year). On Wednesday, October 17, 2018 at 5:51:02 PM UTC-5, Lum Gim Fong

UPDATE: Fears unfounded. Rode great all summer/fall. Never bonked. I noticed about 2 days where I had no recovery at all during the week I started keto. I guess that was the transitional period. Once in keto I found riding was better than ever and didn't feel trashed at all after rides like

You really shouldn't need to take anything in except water on a 20 mile commute; it's just not that strenuous of a ride to burn through your stores you already have. Unless you are doing a bunch of VO2max intervals while commuting I wouldn't specifically feed just for it. Just some personal

I think my bonking on commutes was related to sugar and diet drink intake near the time of riding. I noticed that I would start bonking on the 15 mile ride home about 6 miles in after downing a coke zero an hour before leaving work. Couple bites of a granola bar and I would be fine a minute

Man oh man .. Food is indeed FOOD ! Eat , Drink and be Merry ! You don't have to follow anyone opinion of how to eat, it's the most natural thing in the world. No one can tell you how cuz you already know and it cannot be put into words, bought and sold and hoarded as "knowledge".

Tim, Aye. Any nutter whose signiture is “with abandon” ... well, that tells you all you need know. I’ve done tree day bikepack trips fasting the whole time. Had food, just never ate. I regularly go 24+ hours without food. Day rides, no matter how long, I do not take food. I debate taking food

I was amused at the thought of riders conscientiously snarfing sweet goos or potions for fear of bonking on a 20 mile ride. While I have no interest (except perhaps academic) in low carb diets, I have for decades eaten very little during the day, and getting most of my nourishment in the evening.

On a 20 mile ride, I don't think that the Gatorade you drink is fueling you. Those carbs only become a source of fuel when glycogen stores are depleted. Even if you're a carb eater, and you have fasted, you still have enough glycogen (stored carbs) to ride 2 hrs, and even go anaerobic at

Hi Lum, It takes 2-3 days to go into ketosis, but your body takes longer than that to become "keto-adapted" to the point that it's efficient at using fat for fuel. It's a gradual process. I've read that it typically takes about 3 weeks to become mostly keto-adapted, but online fora tell
