weekends, and kids is the hardest!

For sure

You hit on some interesting points. I would also add that for efforts two hours or less the first thing the body uses is the blood glucose and a easy recovery would be simple carbohydrates afterwards. Another “supplement” would be a nitric oxide booster. Foods such as beats helps the body produce more nitric oxide, which is a natural vasodilator. You can buy products that stimulate the bodies production of nitro oxide in a natural way. This lowers your blood pressure your blood vessels to move more oxygen rich blood. The scientists that discovered nitric oxide on a Nobel prize for their work. I have had two family doctors and a pharmacist (all three ride and compete in triathlons) sign off on this addition to my exercise regiment.

Thanks Roadman, great stuff. I’m exploring working with a nutritionist - could you post Alex’s contact info in the description notes, please?

Great podcast, really helpfull. For me, protein-rich food also often goes hand in hand with fatty food. Today I ate Greek yoghurt with granola and seeds for breakfast, bread with cheese spread and tinned mackerel for lunch. I use the Yuka app to scan my food for composition, but then in that app I get a red notice for saturated fats every time for that food. Are there any better options? Less fat and still protein-rich? Given plant based is also not the best choice for proteïne intake. Greetings from Speculoos country 🇧🇪

Plant based is fine for protein...tofu 15 grams per 100g almost n saturated

[@GravelRacer1]

Are you incorporating beans, lentils, peas, chick peas into your diet?

[@GTE_Channel]

Saturated fat is not as bad as 'scientists' want you to believe. It's the combination of high fat (any fat) and high carbs in the same meal what one should avoid.

[@michaelhoile1369]

@GravelRacer1 Half of my diet is lentils and whole grains...

[@SteakandChains]

29:47 cereal and milk is a terrible thing to eat before bed. If you do eat protein and carbs you should wait at least 15 minutes or more to eat the carbs so the protein can slow down the digestion of the carbs

[@Northwindbreeze]

Thank you so much for bringing her about it. Greetings from the gray sky Germany.

Our pleasure!

I lost 3 stone after cycling and I'm still lean.

[@WesCineLab]

Amazing one ☝️

[@gregbrown3764]

Alex is the friggin best!

[@Vinnie-d8l]

What are your thoughts on fasting (24-40 hrs) and intermittent fasting and to continue fasting/IF when over 60 years of age??

[@TheRoadmanPodcast]

Generally not a good idea. I just recorded a great conversation about it with dr Sharon Madigan, it should be out next week

[@Alaski]

It's fine to lose weight but crap if you like to ride your bike.

"get lean and stay lean forever"? Challenge accepted

[@DDai-qd8uk]

WHAT YOU GOT AGAINST HALO?!

[@TheRoadmanPodcast]

Great game to be fair

[@phillipmcglathery7110]

Eat a steak!

[@michaelhoile1369]

@phillipmcglathery7110 not great .. Too much saturated fat and it increases inflammation stowing recovery... Tofu is much better .

[@SteakandChains]

💯! While I agree with her approach on upping the protein, I’ve yet to see a decline in performance my minimizing or eliminating carbs. But I guess when you eat carbs all the time like her athletes likely do, then it could be an issue.

[@michaelhoile1369]

@SteakandChains low carb diets are not a good idea...even more so for bike riders.....
