WWoTE (Wise Women of TE)
Hello all you wonderful ladies! I need some: advice?, reassurance?, alternatives?
As some of you know, I have very strict dietary requirements which doesn't allow for sugars, grains or starchy vegetables. I had added grains back into my diet in a limited quantity since I starting cycling but it just isn't good for me. I've taken them back out the past 2 1/2 days and have felt much better - better than I have in a long time. I did still eat a cup of pasta or rice at night but last night even that was too much.
My question is: every meal I eat has a fruit, a protein and a non-starchy vegetable - every meal. On the rare occassions I snack, it's usually a protein and/or a fruit. Is there enough carbs in that combo to allow me to continue to ride the distances I have been? I'm just wondering since we don't store carbs like men do, would I be ok with what I'm eating??
If yes: thank you very much for the reassurance
If no: any suggestions for alternatives since I don't tolerate grains or starchy vegetables.
Your help/advice/reassurance/suggestions/comments in general are greatly apprciated as I want to try back-to-back 1/2 centuries this weekend.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
