Sugars and Carbs

Hello all, I'm back!! 18 months out and feeling great, BMI is 22 and I am at a fighting weight of 158 (lighter than I was in Junior High). Question on sugars and carbs: Anyone have any good references/links on general guidelines around sugars and carbs for bariatric patients? My problem is that I am riding by bike somewhere between 150 - 200 miles per week, burning in excess of 2000 calories on some of my longer rides. I am not eating grains or simple sugars and feel that I have to increase my intake to get to the next performance plateau. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Approaching another milestone this week, I will be double nickels!!

I'd like to 'invite' you to post to the men's board. There are a few guys over there who are into running and/or working out that do a more high carb diet to accomodate their active life style. You can find it by clicking the forums tab up top and choosing Men from the Surgery Related Topics. Good luck!
