[QUOTE="FeltCactus, post: 2352618, member: 535728"] Hi all, thanks for your answers. I was not advised to eat so often. Basically I crash when I don't eat so often. It happens when I'm active before breakfast (a short 3km stroll to a specialist bakery), when I miss one of my many meals, when I eat too much protein and fat at the expense of carbs. I also crash when I walk for about 2 hours, or slowly run for 80 minutes. Yes, I guess I hit the wall from doing very little. I did see a doctor yesterday, who for now did a lot of blood tests and then we discuss on. Turns out I had a mild lactic acidosis right at that moment. From cycling 2km to the hospital and sitting around for 2 hours. Hmpf. I sometimes do feel utterly miserable after mild exercise, exactly like I felt yesterday. So I guess that explains part of the problem. Or adds more confusion. Ketones were not measured in blood but in urine, and there weren't any. Thus that's fine. But yeah, high serum lactate with lowish capillary pH and bicarbonate. So something IS going on. Dr. Snoddy: I don't think so. If you ask me, for me it feels like my body is running mostly on glycogen and not really on fatty acids. Or at a much higher anaerobic level at very low intensity as it should. Every relaxed mountain hike feels like a cooper test for me. 50-300 steps during which my lower legs hurt immediately and I'm breathing like crazy but still don't feel relaxed, short break and problems are immediately gone, walk on and the hurting legs and oxygen-depleted air is back. Only uphill, mind! For Ben Nevis I needed 5.5 hours to get up, and 2.5hrs down. Crazy! [/QUOTE]
