I haven't completely read this thread but so far, I haven't seen anyone respond to the generally offered supposition that long rides should be fueled with carbs. Do people here, who do long rides (centuries, tours), continue to limit carbs?

This is not generally aimed at the quoter but to anybody who talks about research and uses it to support an argument or opinion.
Have you read the study yourself and do you know how to interpret research and stats? The media is very poor at interpreting research and makes assumptions that sell news. Getting media reported research is second hand news. The study needs to be read and the methods and math needs to be understood before one can say that the study is uncovering the truth.
The three lies, lies, damn lies and statistics.

Dr Alice H Lichtenstein (Tufts University, Boston, MA) replied by email, "The majority of the evidence suggests that replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat reduces heart disease risk, whereas replacing saturated fat with carbohydrate does not. This new study only assessed one factor, an indicator of dietary fat, and not the whole picture, making the conclusions questionable."
Apparently even the senior author of the study, Di Angelantonio, admitted that it contained "minor mistakes" that need to be corrected. And the study itself listed its own limitations as containing: "Potential biases from preferential publication and selective reporting."

Yes PolarBear007 for me it took about 3 weeks to fully adapt to a LCHF diet. Since then I'm fine
with plenty of energy on bike rides (I just did 50 miles on just water and a turkey sandwich at mile 30).
That said I'm an old guy just poking along so I cant really speak to performance biking on LCHF.
On balance I have to say I love the LCHF style I'm on.

It's possible that you will feel headachy for a while. For me it was similar to a dull altitude headache.
Drink as much water as you can tolerate.
I had a craving for pickled food...never understood why.
These are my own experiences.............no googling involved :-)

Thanks so much for the encouragement guys!
Hey Charlie - thanks! It's good(I think?) to know I'm in for a little more of the "(insert vehemently shouted naughty word) #&&$&#& adjustment" stage, but it eventually levels out...
Thanks lenA - my wife got the headaches as you describe (and not resultant of dehydration...) I'm experiencing a general sense of feeling less focused or "fuzzy" as my body chemistry is changing and my brain (small as it is ;-0 ) adjusts to different (lower glucose fuel?) resources. This is strictly my uneducated hypothesis based on what I'm reading online (and not Wikipedia....) from as wide a source spectrum as I can gather.
This is good advice! Due to where I live (and not being a native to here), I need to consume more water than I usually would. I'm finding this change in diet is adding to my desire to drink more water.
Maybe for additional sodium/salt? I'm noticeably detoxing from sugar and carbs and still have strong cravings for it. I won't put a name on the demons that are haunting me, but like a dog to it's vomit I'm longing to re-visit them......
Thanks for this!
I place a high value on accurately recorded and as bias-free as possible personal experience. I know results can be affected/skewed by pre-conceived conclusions (a placebo affect), but I also believe that people who are honestly looking for *results* not some process to champion will be more empirical in their reporting.
Only a few more days until 1st weigh-in since beginning. With me, it's the 2nd, 3rd and 4th weigh-in's that are most telling.

Sixty Fiver,
One of my co-workers was once on a high-protein kick (or high-fat, or maybe both) and he used to bring in microwavable pork rinds. They came in a bag like microwavable popcorn. I can tell you that when he opened up the bag, the smell would put everyone else off their feed.
I had hoped to never look upon another pork rind, but now you've gone and done it....

This morning I put a small pork shoulder in the crock pot with carrots, onions, and daikon radish (an excellent substitute for potatoes).
The pork is so tender you can cut it with a fork and the daikon is really exceptional, the cooking mellows the radish and it picks up a lot of flavours from the rest of the dish.

Tripe stew used to be very popular dish in my family. The smell of boiling Tripe was absolutly horrible , but then after it was all finished it was good eating.

I started out munching on pork rinds mostly because the texture was similar to the snacks I was used to eating.
Now I only snack on sunflower seeds in the shell.
As a former smoker and compulsive eater, the seeds cover the hand to mouth, and the snacking thing. It's really hard to eat too many. Sunflower seeds are packed with nutritional goodies and have a nice macro profile of 77% F 13% C and 10% P.
Nice to have developed a positive addiction for a change.

Many Thai and Vietnamese dishes use much hotter peppers and will make you breathe fire.
SHU = Scoville Heat Units

Judging by your username I suspect you are in the minority that do know how to field dress.
