I'll be riding for 2 1/2 or 3 months with a loaded bike, so that is a lot of energy to put out everyday, and doing it all on fat. I read Phinney's article, but I didn't read where anyone was doing such a long journey. It's interesting to hear your points of view.


The LC diet should work as well for 2 days or 2 months all else being equal. What usually happens is folks, after biking for days on end, get fatigued and feel that they need to eat more or differently but what they really need to do is get more rest.
