Harley

As some of you may know I am a cyclist.

I am 4 weeks into a tough trianing program to get me ready for some really hard races I have coming up.

I am a raw vegan and I am encountering some problems. That is, i am constantly hungry, tired and I am not recovering well from my hard workouts. I know this has to be nutrition related but I am at a loss as to what is missing.

I try to eat as mch as possible but my appetite is not there.

If you guys have any suggestions or recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.

I need to come up with a structured eating plan just like I have a structured training plan.

Robert, does Brendan eat all raw for the exception of Vega?

Or does he eat some vegan cooked food?

Just curious.

I did not know Tyler is doing an Ironman.

Which one is he doing? Hawaii?

I assume this is a team event? Which team is he riding for for this event?

I watcehd the proloque and last stage of paris-nice.

The whole race was some great riding by discovery and of course

Contador had an amazing ride in the final stage.

Did you see that Tyler Hamilton is riding again.

I think his team will be riding the Giro d'Italia

I am hearing all this great stuff about Portland, maybe I should consider moving out there.

I am currently looking to relocate and have been looking around the country but not in OR.

Anyone know if engineering jobs are plentiful out there?

Good job on your race, veganpotter.

I am happy the weather was not worse.

Any pictures?

You should take a few days off. The body will come back stronger.

can you guys post a review please?

I would love to buy it but I am on a very toght budget right now.

Shawn Ray and Lee Labrada.

Real nice symmetry and not freaky big.

Also, real stand up guys

try to keep from pushing too hard tomorrow. You should really take the day off the bike completely.

Good thing you are not getting hit by the Nor'easter hitting me now.

The race would be cancelled if it was up here. We suppose to get more than 12" of snow.

Once again, Good Luck and kick some butt!!

don't forget to taper before the big race.

remember it is better to be 10% undertrained (even though you do not have to worry abou this) than 1% overtrained (this you may have to worry about)

Good luck my friend. I will be sending you "fast riding" vibes.

Keep up posted.

Szia Anna!!

Welcome to this awesome and very friendly forum.

Where do you live in Hungary?

Do you know where Csomor is?

michealhobson, are you renting out your house and live in a tent all summer? or are you permenantly leaving your house?

sounds cool either way

veganpotter, is your TT this weekend?

veganpotter, i am watching the Paris-Nice TT now.

You should check it out.

I always learn a lot watching bike races. You pick up little things that make a big difference.

Good Luck in your TT. Keep us updated

veganpotter, are you going to post a picture of your TT bike?

I would love to see a picture

Just voted for you Finn

Hero,

I am back on the east coast now but I am sure i will be in denver soon.

Let me know and I can give you an address in denver to mail the passes to.

I just read your other emails and you sound like an amazing guy.

Sorry i never got to meet you when I was in Denver.

Good luck in your journey. I know you will happy...

yes, they can. It is quite amazing and like i said they test for everything.

I found out one of the things i was allergic to is garlic? I could not believe it. How could someone be allergic to garlic??

Have you been tested to make sure you do not have any parasites?

My DC made me go to my medical dr. to have that test first, just to rule it out.

My diet is very limited, like yours, except i eat no animal products or processed foods whatsoever.

Have you been tested for candida?

do you avoid all wheat products, additional salt and condiments?

ljk11, what sort of things do you eat?

Do you follow proper food combining?

why are you moving to NM?

school?

I wonder how hilly it is in NM?

When i was at white sands I remember it being relatively flat.

Good luck in your move Veganpotter.

I am jealous becuase I hear the weather out there is awesome for riding.

Make sure you get a place with extra room so i can come and visit

When is the big move going to occur?

ljk11,

I assume you are vegan?

Actually, it is a poop test. Pretty extensive from what I remember but very accurate.

ljk11,

you may also be allergic to certian beans. I know I am.

My DC actaully got to the bottom of all of my distress.

It was a $200 test and it gets sent to a lab in Washington state for analysis. Suppose to be the best in the country. I know it found so many things I am allergic to and like I said since i have eliminated them I feel like a different person. I can try to track down the lab fo ryou if you are interested.

You may also want to observe food combiining rules. Poor food combining will also coause GI distress in many individuals.

ljk11, I hada the same exact problem.

Then I took an extensive food allergy test and found out I had many many food allergies. Once I eliminated all of those foods (even things like garlic. I never heard of anyone being allergic to garlic)

everything became better.

So I would recommend an extensive food allergy test.

anyone know why Arnold was walking with a cane?
