[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1868018, member: 6467"] Back to your original issue of running out of energy when eating a ketogenic diet. You don't tell us what you ate (and/or drank) before setting out for your ride. I can ride around 50k on a good day (just over 30 miles) at around 12 mph fuelled by coffee with cream and butter. This gives me a reasonable amount of fat to go into my bloodstream to be burned up. So you might have managed to stay in ketosis with your increasing exercise if you had upped the amount of fat you took on board before the ride. I have occasionally come back low after a particularly hard (for me) ride and I agree that if you go beyond the zone where fat burning can supply all your energy your body digs into your glycogen stores as well. I think that is why endurance athletes do so well on a ketogenic diet. As long as you keep yourself "in the zone" your energy supply is almost limitless. [/QUOTE]
