My diet in terms of what I eat food wise appears to be even poorer than I thought it was...over the past 4-6 months I've been utterly dead on the bike, no energy and after about 15 minutes of going, I'm lifeless, legs very heavy, struggling to breath comfortably and generally feeling utterly knackered.
I've put this down to the real likeliehood that I'm not eating enough of fast, medium and long acting foods - I suspect I'm eating a mix of fast and long acting so when the fast energy is gone, it takes a good hour for me to start feeling better.
So, I'll eat pretty much anything (although liver, kidney and tofu are out), but what should I be eating on a daily basis and then the day before, during and after a bike ride - I'm certain I'm unfit but I'm also certain my unfitness is being made worse as I'm not eating the right stuff.
I'm not looking for a complete diet change, but I am looking to make improvements to my general diet and helping keep my energy levels up whilst biking.
Advice would be appreciated.
I'm diabetic but throughout this 6 month 'discovery' my diabetes hasn't been a factor in terms of blood levels, they are all spot on - which also leads me to believe I'm not eating the right foods in general.
Cheers.
