InBody test at The Place....
... is it accurate?
It tells me that after doing 700k from HCMC to PP in days that my body lost 2k in weight, 1 k was water, .5 was fat and the rest was upper body muscle.
I understand that if you don't use it , then the body will feed on the muscle that isn't n
being used. Gotta keep working all the parts not just lung n legs.
What else do I need to look at in terms of dietary requirements? Vitamin supplements seems like a good idea, but when should i eat my carbs, fats, proteins ?

k440, something to do when you're pissed.
Eat a lot - fresh food, veg, fruit, etc.
Don't push the hills.
Don't ride on rest days.
Carry plenty of water.
Rest out injuries and restart gently.
That's all.
You will change shape on a long bike ride.

Great achievement btw
Nothing but an opinionated tourist. The Pope spends more time in countries than I do ! It is also not my place to comment on a gentleman's dress. A real 23 minute wonder, that obviously knows little about ovens and cooking in Cambodia.

I wouldn't put too much faith in the machine analysis. It measures body resistance and estimates composition. There are too many variables for accurate results. Multi site caliper measurement is the most reliable way of determining body fat. The distribution between bone and muscle can be deduced from that and your height and weight.
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary and ...
It is pretty accurate, but as walkjivefly mentions it isn't perfect. I've been doing a muscle gain/weight loss competition with a few other office-bound types for the past couple of months and using The Place InBody machine for the measurements. No complaints thus far, it is fairly consistent with my progress month on month. Using the machine pre/post workout does yield different results however, so to try and get a consistent picture try to measure in at the same time of day/condition as the previous measurement.horace wrote:... is it accurate?

Re: nutrition, I suggest if you're burning off muscle (some other competitors working out late at night before bed get this), make sure you're getting some protein before sleeping. If nothing else a good drink of milk before bed will help the body repair itself and the naturally occurring casein protein therein is one of the best for overnight muscle recovery. If you can get some protein directly after the exercise (within an hour) that should also help reduce your body chewing beyond your fat reserves and into the muscle.

You will lose upper body mass as a bike rider unless you supplement in upper body workouts. Your body is programmed to remove what is considers unnecessary to save energy for areas it does need.
You should get amazing legs and core and lean out nicely.

Are you trying to lose some weight through the cycling or is it more an unintended consequence of it?
Apologies if stating stuff you already know, but you'll only lose weight when running a caloric deficit - Consuming less calories than you burn off. Given the amount of exercise you're doing you're going to be burning through a shit-ton of calories, so need to adjust your diet accordingly. Your body loses a pound of body weight for approximately each 3500 calories you consume under your maintenance requirement*. If you've lost 2kg in a matter of days your caloric deficit is too high(unless weight loss is your goal) and the consequences of that - lack of energy, fatigue, irritability, muscle loss etc - will make your world trip far more difficult and less enjoyable than it should be. So basically - eat more. Lots more.(for comparison, when in competition Michael Phelps' used to consume up to 12,000 calories a day to avoid a caloric deficit - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/artic ... -harm.html)
Nutrition-wise, as long as you have a healthy, macro-balanced diet and consume enough calories you should be fine. Try and stimulate your upper body muscles once or twice a week as well to keep them active**. You want to go heavy on the carbs in the morning before you start and again soon after you finish each day. Try and get 1-1.5grams of protein for each pound of lean body weight(total weight-body fat weight) and make sure you eat healthy fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil) rather than unhealthy fats(processed foods, vegetable oil, dairy). Multi-vits definitely a good idea.
*There are plenty of sites online that will work out your calorie maintenance requirement based on your age, height, weight and exercise level. This is a basic one - http://www.mensfitness.com/nutrition/wh ... o-you-need
For example, a 180lb person cycling at 15mph for 5 hours will burn around 4000 calories. http://www.bicycling.com/training/weigh ... calculator If his maintenance requirement without exercise is 2500 calories, he'll need to eat 6500 calories a day to avoid weight loss.
**I'm guessing you won't have access to a gym but body weight exercises a couple of times a week will go a long way to limit muscle loss. You should be able to improvise and do push-ups, dips, pull ups etc in most hotels.
So eat regularly, and eat lots.

Well spoken, and the foundation for anyone serious about training.
But, in addition, listen to your OWN body...not just what you read online. You know what works for you, food wise, and what doesn't. Not everyone responds the same way. My body weakens considerably without dairy, and my cholesterol shoots up without it. But, my cholesterol drops like a rock on dairy, which is opposite what the books say (as long as I don't carb load -- the whole Atkins ketosis thing). Everyone is different. I bulked up a lot once dairy became cheaper and more available in Cambodia because my body responds very well to those type calories.

Yep, agreed. I include dairy when bulking but limit it to fat-free milk when cutting. Currently 6 weeks into a cut and craving a big fuck-off plate of gorgonzola...Felgerkarb wrote:Well spoken, and the foundation for anyone serious about training.

Forgot to mention, you will KNOW you are burning muscle or protein more than body fat or burning blood sugars if you sweat smells like ammonia.

I've read about this but never experienced it, and have definitely been 'in the red' running on a (perceived) empty tank many times. Even the leanest of us have enough fat to fuel us for hours, and Horace will no doubt become a very efficient fat-burning machine. Perhaps it has something to do with intensity or an individual's fat-burning efficiency?Felgerkarb wrote:Forgot to mention, you will KNOW you are burning muscle or protein more than body fat or burning blood sugars if you sweat smells like ammonia.

Maybe. I definitely notice it if I don't carb up before the gym or have been running a ketosis week. Also, I alternate between high reps, low weight and low reps, high weight week to week. High weight weeks I always start to smell like cat piss after an hour.
