If cavemen were dying at the age of 20, what were they dying of and who was rearing their children?
I am 10 lbs heavier than when I put the bicycles away last Fall, but my health is good and I'm still seeing ribs, abs, and veins when I look in the mirror. I cut sugar, grain, phoney fat, and processed food out of my diet almost two years ago and so far it has been working for me. Dairy is my friend and I consume it like a Holstein calf. I eat a lot of eggs and wild game as well as meat from the grocery store; pink salmon and tuna come in foil packets and are easy to carry on the bike. I also eat a variety of vegetables and a big salad everyday. My wife is a medical lab technician and she gripes about my cholesterol numbers (>200), but my HDL is high and my triglycerides are very low. My BP is around 110/ and my resting pulse averages around 50. I am still able to fight fire, hunt and pedal with guys 20-30 years younger than me, so I am going to stick with this lifestyle until I see a reason to change. The biggest benefit to cutting the grain and artificial sweeteners out of my diet are the lack of bloating and flatulence. I am going to ride my Atlantis in the Almonzo 100 this weekend; 100 miles of self-supported gravel in SE Minnesota. Nutrition on such a long ride is going to be tricky, especially with all of the hills. I am going to carry salmon, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and string cheese on the bike and I hope to find a bottle or two of V8 at a convenience store on the route. My San Marcos seems lighter and climbs better than the Atlantis, but the Atlantis handles the rough stuff better and the big tires are more comfortable and stable. I am not going to weigh either bike... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
