That was me being polite.
I ride, therefore I am. But don't ride into harm's way.

Sorry to get sidetracked.

Is that the one written by David Gillespie, the lawyer with no training, knowledge or expertise in physiology, biochemistry or nutrition? The one who has worked out how to make money by writing scary stuff that some people are pre-disposed to believe?twizzle wrote:

Yes.... then go and read some of the studies referenced and associated studies, and while it is alarmist, it's certainly thought provoking.ausrandoman wrote:Is that the one written by David Gillespie, the lawyer with no training, knowledge or expertise in physiology, biochemistry or nutrition?

Fat blind: Have we forgotten what a healthy weight looks like?
Interesting.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/healt ... en-1893991Nine out of 10 people struggled to identify an obese body and seven out of 10 of obese people didn’t know they were obese
Interesting.

I would counter that with 9 out of 10 competitive cyclists know exactly what slightly over weight looks like, let alone obese

There are probably a lot of other sports where the participants are equally self aware, well, maybe not cricket or golf...toolonglegs wrote:I would counter that with 9 out of 10 competitive cyclists know exactly what slightly over weight looks like, let alone obese

Each year I go to Thailand, I bring my roadie and train with the locals. The guys on the bling bikes are typically working western style jobs and speak good english. They are almost always the fattest in the bunch despite riding the lightest bikes. Nutrition always comes up as they see my organic athlete kit. They weirdly always ask me if I eat a high protein diet to stay as ripped as I am. I point at the as lean rider on the 500$ roadie and say 'what will he eat tonight? what will he eat for breakfast? what about lunch? what will he snack on? proteins, fats OR carbohydrate rich foods like rice, sugar and fruits?. The rich guy on the bike will always say 'you know what, you are right! he will eat these poor peoples food because he no afford steak dinner and yoghurt like me!'
They are always amazed at how strong I ride as a plant muncher. They say 'we only see vegetarian monk and muay thai fighter but not vegetarian cyclist!'. Its quite funny. Those Thai cyclists are mega friendly and accommodating. If they say meet at 3pm for a ride, it means they will start riding by 3:45 lol!

OTOH, the vego cyclists I met in India years ago, generally died before 50. Why? cos they made a living carting people around as rikshaw wallahsdurianrider wrote:They are always amazed at how strong I ride as a plant muncher.

Oh yeah! I like to snack on sugar too but I find it a bit gritty in my teeth. Do you have any tips on how to make the sugar feel less gritty in my mouth?durianrider wrote:They weirdly always ask me if I eat a high protein diet to stay as ripped as I am.
