Comments

Hoogenban commented on his own time: "Slowed down at final 200m because another cyclist in front slowed down, decided not to overtake. 3 months ago I thought I was already at maximum fitness and a time like this would be almost impossible for me. I'm so happy with how much I've improved."

Hoogenban commented on his own time: "Very happy with this time. What a big difference raising the saddle 5mm makes."

Hoogenban commented on his own time: "Edit: strong head wind"

Hoogenban commented on his own time: "Started out very lethargic. People were removing the writing on the road near the top, very NOISY!!!. Last 1km, was pushing harder than normal."

Hoogenban commented on his own time: "too slow ):"

You have some valid points Nick. But I think your personal attack on Harley is unfair. He is not trying to impose his beliefs on anyone. Nor does he claim his method to be the ONLY way. I know you need not be reminded this is a forum for discussion, and Harley is justifiably sharing his knowledge based on personal experience AND validated scientific literature (which he has provided) in hoping some of us may benefit from it. How did you arrive at the conclusion Harley was ‘comparing people to neanderthals picking through tiger scat or comparing roadkill to organically grown beef or free-range kangaroo’? The truth is, in a time/place of food insecurity, we would eat what we had to survive e.g. insects and animals. Today, among most socioeconomic groups in Australia we are blessed with a plethora of accessible and affordable plant foods. The NHMRC have something called the ‘Hierarchy of Evidence’ which you can use to assess the strengths, limitations, statistical significance of applicable scientific literature Here is the link: http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/_files_nhmrc/file/guidelines/Stage%202%20Consultation%20Levels%20and%20Grades.pdf

What you're saying is so true. And all the micronutrients neatly packaged in fruits and vegetables are important in maintaining genomic stability. My food preferences are changing drastically thanks to you. That lady from Kaimuki is inspirational!! :)

You are right Harley, sorry, Kwashiokor is more a description for malnutrition than protein deficiency. I will have to re-check my references regarding the essential amino acids as well. It looks like most of us are at greater risk of excess protein intake than protein deficiency. Daily protein turnover is about 3-4g/kg body mass/day. But protein intake should be approximately half this amount because of recycling, as amino acids are continually synthesized & catabolised. We don't need very much protein at all. :)

Marasmus is characterised by insufficient protein consumption and energy deficiency. Kwashiorkor is characterised by insufficient protein consumption but with sufficient calorie intake. Animal protein provides all essential amino acids in one food, and in higher concentrations than in plant proteins which usually have a lower protein concentration. So you have to make sure that you get all your essential amino acids through your vegan diet by diversifying the plant sources you consume. Legumes contribute the amino acid missing in cereal, and vice versa.
