    Awesome, congratulations. I know on long hikes and bike rides I always wonder if I can do it and if my body will shut down like it has done on a high carb diet. Today I went on a 6 mile hike after a high protein breakfast (egg and egg white, Canadian bacon and coffee) I was fine and did take a Quest bar with me in case of blood sugar drop. I am feeling so much stronger on a low carb diet.

    Excellent! I only had a cup of bone broth before my 5K today. Finished in record time (for me). :)

    5k is not that far. Even on a "regular" diet it isn't enough to warrant a carb load, really. I do duathlons and don't eat anything different the day before or morning of. I figure if you're keto adapted, you're carrying your fuel with you already. No need to load up (which means no crash, either).

    @hazleyes81 Thanks, Posted the question and used the advice and did very well.

    Was concerned because of a couple reasons; my age, one hour time change and knew i needed to get a few answers.......was concerned about getting light-headed or vertigo but no negatives occurred , feeling thankful to have met such great ppl here.

    Even before going LC/HF, kept up with Mag/Pot/Calcium
    so having those broth drinks often since 1/6 is now a habit. Sometimes it's the boulllion in hot water and sometimes bone broth----this is so strange to say but that combo 100% cuts the need for snacks or any hunger.

    It's a rich and filling taste, anyone new here does well to read what is right at our fingertips, this forum and the pals who answer are extra helpful, ......now today moving around is slow but that is only the yucky arthritis.

    Pants are fitting loser and that's a plus.
