Dearr Dr. Tim, What a distinct pleasure to find you on Trainerroad today! Loved Jonathan’s probing questions and hearing your lab-proven conclusions! “Cheerio, but, come back soon,” mate!
Hi, i have an important question for me. as an endurance cyclist i learnt that i should eat about 25% to 30% of thr calorie intake as fat. beyond that i find it difficult sometimes to insert that amount in my diary when the calorie intake is really big, i ask myself if i need to prioritize and maximize the carb percentage at the expense of the fat one. when i have big rides i keep fats to 20% for this reasons, but should i necessarily increase them the next days ? thank you everybody❤❤. (optional question: beeing in low proteins and high carbs what could be the foods with these characteristics, like rice but for more variety?)
Here is my question: I'm on a low carb diet to control my Type 2 Diabetes, which I am currently doing without medication (under a Doctor's supervision). How do I fuel for longer rides? Do I still do Carbohydrates every 30 minutes, and in the same amounts? Will that negatively affect my blood glucose levels?
As a data point, I'm mostly plant-based/whole foods and somewhat low-carb. My A1c is 5.6. I don't consume sugar-except when doing cycling efforts-and moderate between 30g CHO to 60g and sometimes as high as 90g if I'll be near the threshold for a lot of the ride.
You already have too much glucose in your blood. Cycling will help lower this so only consume extra glucose if you feel really weak and light headed. If your already on a low carb diet, consuming carbs during exercise means the glucose will be taken up by the working muscles independent of insulin.
there is a Pro team call Novo Nordisk and the riders are all Type 1 diabetes so on that part I am not sure how they manage it. Maybe you can do some research and reach out to them for sound advice?
@@MrChieftan Maybe, but Type 1 and Type 2 are so different I'm honestly surprised they're both called Diabetes, so I'm really not sure how much they can help.
I always enjoyed listening to Dr Podlogar. Plenty food for thought.

Time to add a radiator to my bike’s downtime that will circulate coolant through my gloves.
Great perspectives. Thanks

not-a-dr-but probably stay low carb

Might want to discourage using methanol for a cooling effect as inhaling or being in contract with methanol can blind a person.
You are confusing menthol and methanol
Proper 👍
