Danielle,, I'm amazed at your wt loss. Congratulations , I bet you feel so much better. I've had difficulties with wt loss with biking the past couple years. I've requested the Paleo for Athletes book from the library and will be anxious to check it out. I have hypothyroidism and always need to watch my simple carb intake. I find if I eat potatoes, pasta, breads on a regular basis that the wt will not come off. I think that I'm carb sensitive and I may be the type of person that should consume my carbs mainly from fruit and vegetables also. I do use Hammer Heed for my sports drink and use the hammer gels while biking. This year has been particularly difficult to lose wt though. I've always been able to take off 10 lbs each summer with biking, probably being menopausal doesn't help the metabolism either.
