I want to get into touring, long riding or marathon style ridiing and a little bit of racingWhat would be the best road bike for what I want to do? Also what frame would be the best carbon or aluminum?
Any sort of drink will help to take the edge of your appetite, and fresh juice or water is the bestYou should drink at least 8 glasses of water daily to keep yourself properly hydratedDrinking water just before a meal will help 'fill you up' and take the edge off your hungerPeople often feel hungry when all the body really needs is liquid, so try this for a while, it should help you.
First of all didn't you hear about believing half of what you see and none of what you hear? (smile) Actually it will increase your energy level and as most folks know bread is fattening! Therefore veggies and exercise is the safest way to go! The high protein shakes have a certain amount of calories so check them out on the label tooStill believe half of what you see ha- ha -ha!
Protein shakes, especially whey protein is specifically used to gain muscle massThe protein gives you energy and builds muscle WHEN and IF you use the energy, if not it becomes fatBasically protein is potential muscle, but if you don't call it and tell it to turn into muscle, by exercising, it just sits there and becomes fat So don't consume excessive amounts of protein unless you're going to exercise and turn it into muscleFYI: when you gain muscle tissue you will weigh more so don't be discouraged if you gain a few pounds during this processMore pounds, but less fatGOOD LUCK
That's true! foods high in fiber help you feel more full because the fiber expands when it comes into contact with liquidsThat's the secret to a lot of weight loss shakes/bars like Full BarsEat high fiber foods (oatmeal and other whole grains are great) along with meals and drink a glass of waterThat should help keep you full for a few hours.
You want one bike to do two very different types of cyclingRacing bikes: short wheelbase short chainstays steep headtube and seat tube angles light frame tubing usually aluminum or carbon frames accommodates narrow tires (often 25mm max) dual pivot caliper brakes seldom have rack and fender braze-ons geometry favors a low bar height Touring Long Distance Bikes: built for comfort and utility usually steel frame heavier tubing most all have cantilever or v-brakes generally use 28mm tires and wider slack tube angles bar height is very close to saddle height accommodates racks and fenders often have mounts for three bottle cages low gearing for varied terrain It's not realistic to race with a touring bike or tour with a racing bike.
