Been on CKD for about 8 weeks now and this style of eating favours my body more (i think).
I am starting to get back into cycling (bicycling) and for that i am switching over to TKD. I will still do my 3 weight training sessions per week. My questions are as follows:
1. I do weight training mon/wed/fri mornings in fasted state. I will be adding 30g dextrose in my post workout whey shake. This ok?
2. Some days i will also do a afternoon ride. Since i will be adding 30g dextrose post weight training, can i add another 30g of carbs during this ride or will i be pushing too much carbs for the day?
3. On days where i only will be riding i will have 25g carbs pre and 25g carbs during ride.
When adding carbs around your training (acc to TKD) what about your carbs you get from your leavy veggies? Should you try and stick to a max certain amount of carbs for the day or should you carry on as normal and just add more carbs around the workout?
I will be reducing the fat intake acc to carb intake to try and keep daily CAL the same.
Input regarding my approach will be much appreciated
U seem to want to do a keto diet ? if so no dextrose ...no sugar unless u are going for a heavy cycle / cardio u can have a energade or simular ...u will burn of sugar emediatly.
there are 2 kinds of carbs ..without getting all technical..fibre carbs = green veg keeps u regular.
starchy carbs = potato rice pasta..this is a no in the beggining as it creates glucose = sugar so burns this for energy instead of fat.
1.no
2.energade..for HIT
3.energade but if long distance cycle use/rely on the fat as energy
Mike thanks for your input! I will be using a small amount of carbs just during my cardio sessions to fuel high intensity efforts. The plan is to burn all these carbs during the workout. The rest of the day it is back to the normal keto plan.
I was just wondering about the total during the day. Currently i take in around 25g trace carbs in total. Acc to some sites they suggest 26g carbs pre and 26g post workout during a TKD What about the other trace carbs throughout the day then? Carry on with the same plan and just add carbs pre and post workout?
When doing low intensity riding i use water anyway so will stick to that like you suggest.
I am probably getting too technical about this again!
