[QUOTE="Muddy Cyclist, post: 2119509, member: 505893"] Hi [USER=512587]@JohnyT2[/USER] a fellow forum member [USER=493719]@jjraak[/USER] suggested I drop into your post. Since my T2D diagnosis in April I have increased my Mountain Biking to between 8 and 12 hours a week, I have been MTBing for 18 years but not at this intensity. Before my DX my day length rides were fuled by a pasta meal the night before, oats, yoghurt, cheese on oat biscuit for breakfast and dried dates, bananas and electrolytes on the ride, this worked well BUT all now changed with my Low Carb diet of less than 30grams of carbs per day. I have not yet done any full day rides but regularly do 3 hours on technical trails and forestry tracks, I try to keep it as aerobic as my age will allow. To my surprise I have found out the following......... High protein meal the evening before usually Tuna Steaks, stirfryed veg and a sweet of full fat yoghurt and Raspberries followed by a 12 hour fast. Breakfast 2 scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, full fat yoghurt and mixed seeds. Snacks on ride NON Drinks on ride Water only (dumped the electrolytes) I take Baby Bells (yuk) with me just in case, so far I have not needed them. I also take my pet Dracula to see how my BS is performing should I get light headed. This happened only once and my BS was 6.3 so not the problem, I think the cause was a cold starting. So far I have not run out of energy, felt tired or in the need for snacks. Before this diet I would have felt the need to eat something such as dates after a couple of hours. Of course we are all different and I can only tell you what I have discovered in a very short period since diagnosis and realise that this could change as I get more understanding how my body reacts to this LCHF life style. What I can say is dump the dried fruit, far to high in sugars. For me the LCHF diet and increased exercise has been a great success, in three months it put my T2D into remission and I have lost 24 Kilo. With some experimenting I'm sure you will find a way to manage your exercise fuelling. [/QUOTE]
