I don’t eat breakfast. I don’t fuel for rides unless I’m in for a long/intense day. And I don’t consume carbs.
I eat 2x per day pretty much regardless of activity. Meat, fats and veggies for the most part.
my fitness slowly improves year after year, and my weight slowly burns off…
My ride yesterday AM was after an 18 hour fast, only had coffee/water before the ride, only had water on the ride. 1.5 hours of high tempo, right on the edge of threshold - no drop in power, no fatigue during or after the ride. Ate eggs on low carb bread about an hour after.
I really think these diets are for full on athletes/racers that train insane amounts and need absolute peak performance at all times. The rest of us - we can make do without most of what they consume.
