[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 713949, member: 74042"] I've never experimented with low carbing to that extreme, but I've read that that's the case for those who can go into nutritional ketosis as well. If you look up any tables of CHO needs vs pace, they would suggest I should be on twice the level of carbs I generaly need. My best so far in that respect has been two hours on the bike on just three Fig Roll biscuits (36g CHO), but generally more than that. Typically I'm on 80-100g carb a day, but a three hour ride would double that, so about 25g-40g an hour. A recent ride had me taking in 90g over 2hr 15 as an example. Most of the textbooks would put my needs at way more than that. Take Pumping Insulin, that gives a guide for a 150lb person cycling at 18mph needing 130g/hr, their table for running at my pace gives a similar need. I think what this shows is that it is very possible to train yourself to utilise predominantly the fat-burning mechanisms if you want. [/QUOTE]
