A few months ago, I started a low carb high fat diet. It took a few weeks for my body to get used to using fat for fuel instead of carbs, but now that I’m “fat adapted”, it’s working as it should. The idea was to be able to ride or do activity longer without running out of energy (food). Basically having to eat less during a long day practicing or racing. It’s working well, I’m finding that I don’t need to eat as much as often and If I have a big meal and the beginning of the day, I don’t have to eat as much throughout practice. There is obviously a lot of science and research that has gone into diets like these and I won’t go into that much, but a lot of athletes are using these diets to improve their performance.
