Tricky – I also don’t gain weight on my off days. I find that I don’t actually pig out really – I just start with a latte and a cake, drink a moderate amount of juice and coke during the day, a sandwich at lunchtime and have a normal meal in the evening. To be honest I have to remind myself to have carbs with that!
Most of the 4HB book is the guy experimenting on himself, relating the experiences of people who are presumably his clients, and talking to scientists.
But aren’t haribos white carbs?
Yes – white carbs are ok before, during and after riding as per the instructions.
I will be using sports drinks and gels etc once I get home to pick them up. I’m using fruit juice atm to drink but that might have a negative effect being fructose…
