Very interesting.

I accidentally had Heed this weekend and OH it was heinous. I was expecting water though so it was kind of a shock.

I'm the same way re low effort and hamburgers.

My friend's husband had something like that happen on a HIM he did. I don't remember what was recommended for him but I can find out.

I'm strange. Maybe I don't exert as I should but I can eat/drink anything and be ok. Don't even ask about the Aunt Jemima pancake sausage sandwiches before the half marathon...then again I don't do anything too strenuous or competitive. I usually use Cytomax and as a complimentary alternate, I have Endurox. Shot Blocks, to me, aren't as effective as gel. They taste better but they are more of a treat than a remedy. Caffeine helps tons but then again that might just because I'm almost lazy. The most exertion I've ever done was 570 miles in 7 days (on the bike) and I lived on plain food and Cytomax.

Wahine, that's pretty scary. I've read about the effects of too much of one thing and not enough of another. I am SO glad you listen to your body though. It isn't worth it to push through, not at the expense of hurting yourself. I am so much in awe of people (such as yourself) who compete and actually compete.

Colby, not that I'm trying to be flippant (because part of me, the very scary part of me, wants to do an IM some day) but oh my gosh you put yourself through some things that normal bodies don't do Unfortunately, I can eat solid calories anywhere and everywhere.

It's very interesting to see what people drink. I don't know how I got started on Cytomax but I like it. I heard Endurox was good for people who couldn't tolerate heat (was told this when I was training for my San Francisco - Los Angeles cycling trip) due to amino acids. I guess everyone has their favorites though it's good to see what the scientific results are.
