This is a forum that I regularly use to talk about bikes.... if you have any interest in bikes, it is an awesome forum...

now, the reason I want you to look at it now is that I need some serious backup.... they are acting as though low carb dieting is evil! I know there are plenty of people on this forum that know what they are talking about! please help!!!

I participate is a different cycling forum and low carbing is often trashed. I am always surprised at how many bikers do low carb, although they usually keep quite about it.

BTW, argueing with a certified nutritionist is a good way to go insane. Logic and reason and science don't matter, just what they were told in school 'carbs are good, fat is evil'.

that is exactly my point. thank you. chime in over there if you will.... as far as the bike forum itself, it is awesome.

may seem off topic, but somehow this post brought it to my mind.
If we were such vegetable eating people, as primitives, how come we didn't draw pictures of plants on those cave walls? Why didn't they draw what a potato looks like? After all, they grow underground, you would have to identify them by the leaves above ground. But, yet, they went to a lot of trouble to draw animals, and how they were hunted..hmmmm...

That's because you don't get the CARB BLAST! 6 plates of spaghetti with syrup for the win!

is what they are saying true in any way?
Basicly they all agree that Low Carbing is bad for Cyclists... because it is an endorance sport...

EPO is also bad for cyclists..... but many of them still used it

2bthinner and jumpin' ... too many truths on this forum. People just like putting things in their little black or white boxes and go on their way. No further thinking required.

e

what is EPO?

Very dangerous http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythropoietin

Then they may be interested in this study which basically proves that assertion wrong.

Here's another study with a similar result for trained endurance runners.

thank you lisa!!! that is exactly the kind of info i have been looking for!!!! thank you so much! let me know if you come across anything else!

A lot of people don't understand the basics of a low carbohydrate diet. It was also mentioned on the boards that a diabetic should avoid ketosis, because it will lead to ketoacidosis. Any diabetic, who has ever had a high bg, and experienced ketoacidosis, knows there is a HUGE difference between the two. Ketosis makes you want to get up and dance. Ketoacidosis makes you feel like you’ve been hit by a train, then dragged for a mile.
