Due to their uncommon making biomac shoe clients do not suffer from hot or swollen feet. In fact, even AUDAX and RAAM winners like Wyss, Narr, Samtleben, Clavadetscher and runner-up Gulewicz had to tighten their laces once again after say 10ks because excess lymphatic fluids from standing and walking gets pumped back into the blood stream rather than increasing the size of their feet. Main reason for this 'phenomenon' is the absence of chemical diluents and vapours usually present inside 'cheap' production shoes. [b]2nd[/b], biomac shoes show hardly any heel lift in order to distribute leg power throughout the entire sole rather than guide pressure to one single spot like the metatarsals. [b]3rd[/b], ventilation is effectuated that way the two big metallic nets correspond with the big flap on top of the shoe so it acts as a Chinese blower even when climbing, increasing ventilation in the toe box. [b]4th[/b], the heel box has a thin, subtle layer of silk lining to prevent the skin from blisters. This in turn frees the foot from damp paddings which when entering stock shoes may feel snug and comfy, in the long run prevent ventilation though. Its a philosophy, and most customers agree, that the foot must be kept as natural as possible in order to function naturally. Therefore, only the tarsometatarsal joint gets tied to the rock-hard sole, semi-flexible side-walls however limit unwanted foot rotation. <em>edited by götz heine on 31/08/2010</em>

[quote=harley j]It takes a lot of offend me Gotz, with all those carbs I eat, my glycogen system is always stoked. :) Id like to hear more about it and if you have any medical journals or whatever to read about it. Thats what I love about forums, both live and cyberspace. They provide a community space where people can share opinions and have debates about them. edited by harley j on 29/08/2010[/quote] Didn't meant to offend you, Harley. You came up with a controversial topic and therefore earned quite some opposition, I suppose. Still, I share your opinion that forums can be very informative, this is why I raised my voice. I've been working with the CREAM DIET ever since 1997 when my 1. daughter saw the light of this planet. Just 7 months and 1400grs she was all skin and bones when she got born prematurely in the middle of the Caribbean jungle. No midwife, no medical doctor, no incubator, no injections, nothing except cream and her mother's milk let her survive. Survive, so that by the time of her calculated birth date she had already doubled (!) her initial weight and was almost 'normal'. Today, she's a healthy young lady and neither her teeth nor her muscles, nerves or brain ever showed any signs of undernourishment. Impressed of the result I started experimenting on myself and a crew of endurance athletes administering what I called the CREAM DIET to both, road cyclists and top triathletes (amongst them also athletes like Paula Newby-Fraser a well as 'modern' triathletes, endurance riders a.s.f. ). When in 1998 I published my observations for the first time in the German 'RUNNING' magazine I didn't earn anything but laughter. Still, the athletes who had undergone the regimen all agreed that CREAM DIET presents a powerful (natural!) tool to boost fat metabolism and endurance as well as clinical parameters like individual aerobic threshold ecc.. Digestion improved, the general status of health changes notably to the better and weight diminishes as well as the percentage of body fat. Until early 2010 I thought I had invented this diet until I came across this: [url=]http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/produkte.asp?Aktion=ShowAbstract&ArtikelNr=195233&Ausgabe=242802&ProduktNr=223838[/url] Georg Rosenfeld had published his experiences with a diet he had baptised the NOTHING-BUT-CREAM-DIET back in 1928 already! Rosenfeld, a German gastroenterologist described its stunning effects on a variety of ailments of the digestive system. Back in those days of course nobody seriously cared about sports nutrition as amphetamines and other blood manipulating drugs meant the road to athletic success. Today, in the post-carbohydrate era people are getting more aware of the functional short-comings of carbs and start to re-discover the intestinal tract as the very source of human well-being and health. Not that this is a new finding altogether did Hippokrates, ancient Greek naturopath (440AC) already quotes that 'DEATH SITS IN THE GUTS'. And even when now they again swallow nothing but heaps of industrially cultivated tribes of lactic acid bacteria they are catching a glimpse of an idea about what a healthy digestive system can be all about, don't they? Let's face it, Harley, live is too short and, mind you: too prosperous to subscribe to any sort of totalitarian regimes. A diet is something we can go onto for a certain period of time to achieve a certain effect. As long as we don't violate the laws of life we can get away with some very nice results provided we are willing to pay the price, i.e. monotony. Everything else is nothing but Russian Roulette as nature has only borrowed our lives to us, remember? To my knowledge, everyone is obliged to give it back, sooner or later. ;) edited by götz heine on 29/08/2010 <em>edited by götz heine on 29/08/2010</em>

[quote=harley j]Im always up for an experiement but that just defies the whole glycogen system in the human body! :)[/quote] Harley, don't you think that someone - in this case me - who at a time when everyone was still aiming at his 1st metatarsal to mount his cleats to - that was in the 90s - came up with the idea and a patent on a bicycle shoe's sole which promoted mid-foot cycling hasn't executed quite some research and brain-work before he promotes glucose deprivation and cream nutrition as a suitable means of bio-logical performance boosting? What if this technique only defies [b]your [/b] idea about "the human glycogen system"? What if this understanding of the human metabolism and its capacity to switch sources of energy is just incomplete? Mind you, my English is brittle and certainly not composed to insult anyone, still this is to make you think. Regards, Götz naturopath & shoemaker Germany <em>edited by götz heine on 29/08/2010</em>

[quote=harley j]Thanks Gotz. Ive never met an athlete that ran out of fat or protein on a ride. Ive ran 2 marathons and finished one 24hr race in the last 5 weeks and its always about keeping on top of glucose levels and water. I eat a wholefoods vegan diet cos thats what I would do naturally. I ride midfoot cleats cos thats what I would do naturally. The goal of a business is to make a profit. I feel as adults and consumers, its our responsibility to become informed of what business's are making profits at the benefit or detriment of our health and the environment and make new beliefs based on our own personal conclusions.[/quote] Harley, unless you are used to metabolising fat you better stick to carbs throughout your exercise. It takes like two weeks to switch to burning fat/cream without any leftovers. Then after another week where you replenish your muscular carb deposits you'll experience a huge change in stamina and performance. Huge. While my finding of the midsole cleat position (bio-mxc²) presents an improvement of 10%, Cream Diet is another 20% increase in performance, I guarantee. Try it.

Maybe, maybe some of the merits you attribute the vegan diet to Harley, have their origin in the decreasing amount of irritating food you ate before. As a naturopath by profession I watch many people who, after they skipped their former nutrition schemes for some form of a diet improved significantly - for a while. I suppose that this is by far not because they are on [b]t h e[/b] diet now - as a diet is by definition nothing but a fundamental change in someone's nutrition for a defined period of time - but due to the absence of individual allergens they had ingested with their prior form of nutrition before switching to what they now feel is 'healthy food'. As their immune system is not 'under arms and fire' any more but settles down, symptoms fade and they feel more lively, alert and efficient. For a while, as whether this new form of nutrition also cured their often weak intestinal system is not guaranteed, is it? For example those sensitive to gluten or lactose - and there are quite a few out there, believe me - change visibly in a very short period of time when you just deprive them of anything which has traces of gluten/lactose in it (mind you that even glucose in some foods comes from wheat!). Still, cutting out a special type of nutrient which for others doesn't present any harm whatsoever doesn't prove anything except that those cured by this sort of therapy suffered from a weak intestinal system in the first run, agree? For myself and plenty of athletes and patients I looked after I discovered that going on what I call a 'Cream Diet' - in its essence nothing but eating whipped cream for a week or two - proved most helpful for their health and, as a positive side-effect for athletes, boosted fat metabolism. Still, during a decade of successfully applying this nutritional change very few however, couldn't cope with the daily intake of high amounts of (cow!) fat. So, many doctors and scientists alike claim that they watched enormous changes in their patient's state of health due to X, Y, Z. While some refer to products obviously related to their sponsor's and eventually their wallet's benefit others truly stand up for the phenomenons they've been witnessing. Still Haley, its tricky blaming "the industry" as the very culprit promoting or suppressing everything. To my personal experience during more than a decade promoting a new cycling technique for example, many findings get suppressed by people anxiously watching the 'mainstream' or dying to be 'normal', failing to understand that the only thing which does not exist is normality. Experience ells that explanations for so-called 'miracles' are often simply on a different dimension/level, not 2-dimensionally related. This phenomenon is what a philosopher like Plato already referred to when he described the [url=]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_Cave[/url] . Personally, I enjoy your input and see some truth in what you say only, shouldn't we all strive to refrain from dogmatic speech? 'Cream Diet' for example works well for breast-fed(!) babies and adults, it also works well for most endurance athletes, male and female, but all this doesn't imply that it also works alike for all sorts of diabetics, cancer patients and HIV positives, does it? Isn't plurality the essence life has been made of and personal fate, luck and genes what give you the winning edge or take their toll? Therefore and as a compromise, let me mildly doubt that life is about our self-made, time-stricken [b]purposes[/b] but merely about its own destiny which according to some sages has long been determined before we even became aware of our 'own will' ;) <em>edited by götz heine on 11/08/2010</em>
