On my last ride, I drank sugarless (no sugar, no sugar substitute) sports drink. My teeth will thank me. They were starting to hurt from all the kid-stuff @#$@#@% sugar water I've been drinking.
I wonder how much more weight I would have lost without all the fructose in the
HFCS in gatorade. ....lessee: if I drink 1000 calories of the
stuff on my long rides and half of it comes from fructose,
and I did that for 26 weeks, that's 13000 calories or 4 pounds.
...plausible, barely. I wonder how much my liver will thank me....
I'm not sure what I'll do on the triple. I could use the sugarless stuff and
spike it with Hammer Gel for the big ride...teeth be damned, at least there will
be less of a load on my liver and more of the calories will be immediately available.
The big gain will be from continuing to avoid the HFCS for the rest of the summer.
Maybe I can make a bigger dent in my gut by September.
