Fat loading

(ianrobo) #1

got a big ride planned tomorrow and now fat loading. For those like me that used to do carb loading this tastes nicer !!

Nuts, scratchings, butter and cream !!

For tomorrow 130km, 2.5km of climbing, will do it fasted but with Vespa …

and so easily finished this, plenty left in tank and never that hungry despite only having a couple of eggs !!

nicely rested and legs never too tired and when compared to the carb burner I rode with, ha ha ha

I came here to ask about ‘fat loading’

Can your body directly access fat eaten shortly before exercise and use it for energy or does it draw down from stored body fat?

Well of course if I ‘fat load’ the night before it will be processed into my body. For a long ride it seems to work is all I can say from experience and I get plenty of power and of course endurance from it.

Is there any science behind, I don;t know.

well did 123KM today, after helping someone out, I powered past all those that over took me, and power is key, apparently uses carbs, funny that I was fine.
