I eventually developed carpal tunnel syndrome and holding onto bicycle handlebars made it worse so I quit riding. Since then, my weight has increased quite a bit. Trying to watch what I eat doesn't seem to help.

Trying to watch what I eat doesn't seem to help. some thoughts, por favor- if you eat the right foods, you won't have to "watch what you eat" or even mind portion sizes beyond a reasonable amount- trying to limit your daily calories, in general, is a lot like trying to limit how many times per minute you breathe- if you went on a breath diet of 10 respirations per minute when you really need 14 to survive, before long you will be hurting. same for food. avoiding refined carbs would be the single best thing you could do to take the burden off of your struggling willpower and help you to keep slim. as for carpal tunnel, that is avoidable by correct bicycle body mechanics, IOW leaning forwards as a regular biking posture is no-no. consider a recumbent bike. since my accident last summer, i've sworn off bikes and now i either powerwalk every day [for an hour] or if it is warm enough i will take out my recumbent trike and ride, i can't so readily get knocked off of a trike.

This impairment manifests as a severe imbalance in the ratio of active to inactive glutathione, the body's most important tool for detoxifying and excreting metals. Glutathione works as an antioxidant, keeping in check the potentially destructive process of oxidative stress caused both by normal metabolism and environmental contaminants. Autistic children showed a significant impairment in every one of five measurements of the body's ability to maintain a healthy glutathione defense. These findings raise serious concerns about children's overall exposure to environmental contaminants. Mercury is of particular concern, however, because of its proven toxicity to the developing brain and nervous system, and documented high exposures from a variety of sources. One of every six pregnancies is exposed to methyl mercury above EPA's safe level from maternal consumption of contaminated seafood (CDC 2002, Mahaffey 2004). (clicky)this page is controversial because it involves thimerisol, but it is an absorbing read nonetheless.

I've never tried restricting calories. I usually concentrate more on what I eat and avoiding certain foods. As for biking, a recumbent might be a good idea. My preference has always been the regular road bikes. I remember reading that recumbents don't generally do well on hills. My area is normally quite flat with occasional canyons along the creeks. Going to town from home, I would have to cross such a canyon/creek no matter what route I took. How do recumbents do in comparison to other bikes for weight? Pushing one up the far side of a canyon is definitely a concern. One of my absolute requirements is to be able to carry it on a standard bike rack. The reason is that there are far too many goat heads in the ditches near the house. My experience here is that during much of the year, you could be pretty sure about having at least one flat tire per mile of travel when not on the paved highway. It happens on the highway, but far from as frequently on the local dirt or caliche roads. My solution is to put the bike on the bike rack and drive the mile over to the church and park the car in the parking lot while riding the bike.

How do recumbents do in comparison to other bikes for weight? Pushing one up the far side of a canyon is definitely a concern. the advantage of recumbents in hill-climbing is that your backrest provides something for you to push against when you pedal, this is almost as useful as gravity on an upright bike. but on any good 'bent your gears are your friends- mine [sun classic ex-3 recumbent trike] is geared for hill-climbing with a granny low gear/granny low range. granted at top speed you can barely outrun a dog while pedaling full tilt, but that is a tradeoff this broken and healing body of mine will now accept. as for weight, it weighs as much as two good uprights, about 65#, but for me this is an advantage in that it is very stable, IOW i can't readily be knocked off this trike like i was knocked off my upright giant suede dx when that damned deer decided to cross my path. i climb all the short hills in my neighborhood, slowly but surely. as for long canyon hills, probably i'm too wimpy for those. eric76 wrote: One of my absolute requirements is to be able to carry it on a standard bike rack.
