I am hoping someone can help me with my question. I am a diabetic just getting back into biking since being diagnosed 4yrs ago. I have just taken control of my life and diet within the past few months and am now completely grain free. This has been a life changing thing but I am concerned about how it will affect my riding. My question is this: What grain alternatives should I eat as carbs for a better ride? Better yet, what should my carb, protein, fat ratio be? I eat quite a bit of "good" fats because I use a lot of nut flours, quinoa, flax and chia seeds and flours as alternatives to grains. I feel fantastic but worry about getting that ratio for ideal energy and endurance. I would appreciate any help and advice anyone could give me! Thanks
