Ketone Esters
A couple of weeks ago we were talking about Ketone Esters. This is sort of a predigested results of dietary fat.
I had breakfast and because I was heading out on a difficult ride I drank a bottle of that stuff cut 50/50 with tap water. It has a taste reminiscent of fingernail polish. And that taste sticks with you. It didn't seem to do anything. I really dragged my butt up the 1,000 foot climb with 9-12% sections but I made it. It costs a small fortune so it hardly seems to be worth even talking about. Yesterday I had forgotten to go to the store and had nothing for breakfast before another hard ride so on an empty stomach I drank that stuff again. This time before I left I brushed my teeth and used Listerine mouthwash. That reduced the taste to merely unpleasant. I rode out to the target 19 miles and 1600 feet of climbing away and I didn't bonk which I would have expected to do what with no breakfast. At the coffee shop I had a roll and a coffee and came back. At the end of the ride I was not exceptionally tired and had a rather fast recovery. So perhaps this stuff is worth you giving a try if you're a sports rider. It did appear to work far better on an empty stomach than after having eaten.. And brushing the teeth and using mouthwash DEFINITELY was the way to go. |
