Unless you are a Type 1 diabetic, or maybe maybe Type 2 also, you cannot get a low blood sugar. The human body does not allow blood sugars to fall very low. The Islets of Langerhans inside the pancreas produce the hormone insulin. This is injected into the blood stream and works with the glucose in the blood to keep the blood sugar at a fairly constant level.. No matter how much you exercise and no matter how much or little you eat, the non-diabetic body is excellent at regulating the blood sugar to keep blood sugar at a very constant normal level. Your blood sugar does not go up and down in a non-diabetic. Blood sugar going up and down is similar to a person saying they stopped their heart from beating for a minute or two. Do you believe people can manually control whether their heart beats? If you do then you likely will also believe your blood sugar goes up and down.

If so, how long did it take you to recover so that you were able to ride at your normal pace again? If you ate soon after bonking, how long did it take you to then recover enough to ride further? Cheers My understanding is that there are about 2000 Calories of glycogen store in muscle tissue. Additionally, we are capable of metabolizing fat (of which most of us have essentially infinite stores)and converting it to glycogen, but the rate of conversion may not keep up to vigorous exercise. So if your exertion is short or low level, you should never bonk, but if it’s long and hard, you may run low on glycogen. I did a rather moderate ride yesterday of only 22 miles and did not ride particularly hard and burned 1100 Calories. The other day I did a 32 mile ride over 1800 feet of hard climbing and that is as close to bonking I've come recently. My return ride was thankfully mostly downhill and I could ride at a fat burning pace. slowwwwwww. |

If so, how long did it take you to recover so that you were able to ride at your normal pace again? If you ate soon after bonking, how long did it take you to then recover enough to ride further? Cheers Yesterday I went for a mere 35 miles. I didn't get out till noon and foolishly hadn't eaten anything since breakfast and didn't bring along a powerbar of any sort. The climb 15 miles into the ride the climbing starts and it is steep for about 3 miles. by the time I got to the top I had bonked to the point where I could only concentrate on the road in front of me and had to stop several times for my heart rate to drop down within an acceptable range. Because all of the "parks" are closed down, all of the water fountains are shut off? What the hell is this - flowing freshwater is safe for those unaware of it which appears to be the entire government of California. Clearing the top of the climb on my Madone with aluminum wheels on it making for good braking, I was going down the other side at 40 mph. That probably wasn't safe but I finally made it home and was so buzzed that I didn't recover until the middle of the night last night. It took me 3 hours to do that 35 miles. I have to wonder about it though - I have not been feeling good recently so perhaps the major part of this discomfort is some sort of bug. My wife has the same unwell feeling. |

Cheers One way to avoid this is to kick start your fat metabolism. Consume dietary Ketones to get your fat / ketone metabolism going. Then when your body runs out of carbs, it will start burning fat instead of boinking or falling into Diabetic Ketoacidosis (which can be fatal). Supplements are best (ketone salts) but taste awful. 2nd best is Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) which have little taste, and is made from Coconut Oil. 3rd best is Coconut Oil, which is 2/3s MCTs. Here is an MD using MCT with elderly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGFUPSdATuw Long term, once the fat metabolism is going, is to adopt the ketogenic diet, except for high demand events. I follow the wheat belly diet. |
