But seriously, yes. I drink a maximum of 1 Coke/day. Used to be one at each break, plus one at lunch. 480 calories.

If you ride every day after the coke, I will allow it. Otherwise I advise eliminate all carbs that are liquid except when ON THE BIKE.

My wife has been on me about stretching for years. I know more about me, of course.
We were doing situational drills last spring and I was running the bases. Sprint, stop, sprint, stop. All of a sudden things felt weird in my right quad and right knee with the torn PCL. The next day I couldn't walk and that mess continued until a few weeks ago. MRI and physical therapy and now I can bend my right knee enough to ride a bike. Getting old sucks.

The last time he went up to 240 I could beat him up hills. This did not make him happy.

All too often patients come in and swear they are on a low carb diet, then proceed to tell me they are having whole wheat bread and brown rice. The proof is in the pudding, and these folks have too much pudding.

Usually not, except one team has one pathetic guy doing it cause he's so pathetic he ought to retire from the game. Nice guy, but . . . .

I guess that's one big difference between the two versions of the game. In fastpitch, for the girls blessed with speed, bunting can be a serious offensive weapon. My daughter, however, is not one of those girls. Thankfully, she's good at hitting the ball a long ways, and enjoys an easy-paced 240' trot.

I am no expert but probably carbs are carbs for most of us. Certainly if someone notes that certain foods affect them negatively they should avoid them. But I suspect the whole "glycemic index" thing is over-rated.
All too often patients come in and swear they are on a low carb diet, then proceed to tell me they are having whole wheat bread and brown rice. The proof is in the pudding, and these folks have too much pudding.

To me soda is the debil, nothing but totally useless and harmful carbs. The only thing worse than that is cigarettes. I drink water 90% of the day, with coffee in the morning and a little red wine nightcap.

I refuse to drink daquiris on the bike.

My take on it is that carbs are fuel. Just fuel. Not a problem if you burn them. A problem if you don't.

What's the point? The only thing more pointless than Diet Coke is Caffeine Free Diet Coke. If you're drinking that, you've really lost the plot.

I don't have soda drinks at home but drink it on rides sometimes. When I quit drinking I craved sugar and since I still went to the bar I tried having Cokes but my stomach couldn't take it. I started ordering orange juice at the bar and people thought I was having a screwdriver. I had women tell me they didn't trust a man who didn't drink, which was weird. I also had to explain why I didn't drink to every knuckle head who questioned me, including a disbelieving cop who pulled me over when I was leaving the bar.
