Re: [RC] RE:Body questions - Mike & Kathy KellyI am hypoglyemic and really have to avoid foods with a high glycemic index - which means all carbs and many fruits. Back in my 20s when I was a hard-core triathlete I discovered that Gatorade wreaked havoc with my body - the only way I could drink it is if once I started, I couldn't stop (I couldn't go 1/2 hr between drinks) or I'd get a huge drop in blood sugar and could hardly even think. These days I eat alot of protein - protein bars and drinks work well for me at rides, and I always drink alot of water! Kathy Kelly Oatmeal has a fairly high glycemic index - meaning it causes a sugar spike and subsequent drop. I used to eat oatmeal too in the AM till my crew made me stop :) When I was at the convention listening to Susan talk about carbohydrates and how we don't want them to do the spike/crash scenario I remember thinking...too bad we can't just feed our horses some cheese and meat :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
