		<description><![CDATA[In part one of our hatefest with Gatorade, we show you how to ditch Gatorade by making your own variety.  Now, for those of us who don&#8217;t feel like making our own, we have found a fantastic alternative.
Why do we hate Gatorade so much?  Simple.  It is sugar water (of the worst kind) that is marketed as some sort of miracle energy maker.  Let&#8217;s compare the latest Gatorade, G2, with the Knudsen Recharge of the same flavor.  First off, G2:
Ingredients: Water, sucrose syrup, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, natural ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our second installment of the ongoing &#8220;Screw [insert big corporation], do it yourself&#8221; articles, we will break down a few ways to make your own supremely healthy energy bar.  I have scoured the internet for recipes, and fired up the oven to test out the best way to make a good energy bar on your own.  There are a lot of good recipes to chose from, but I have done a bit of modding to make the ultimate bars.
Let&#8217;s start off with a simple, but fantastic recipe. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In parts 1, 2, and 3 of Cycling Nutrition 101, we dug into the main components of not only cycling nutrition, but nutrition in general.  I gave you a brief overview of the importance of fats, complex carbohydrates, and protein in any athleteâ€™s diet.  My original plan for part 4 of this series was to create a meal plan for cyclists.  I was going to break down what to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  I have since decided to take an alternate route, and so, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1990, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) enacted the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act.  At this time, the â€œlow fat dietâ€ was in full force, and every package in supermarkets proudly proclaimed, â€œLow Fat!â€ or â€œLight.â€  The FDA stepped in and created guidelines for what terms like â€œlow fatâ€ actually meant.  They also enforced a mandatory ingredient list on all food products as well. It wasnâ€™t until 1992 that the Nutrition Facts labels became a requirement on most packaging.
Following on the heals of the Nutrition Facts ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just take one glance at what I call, &#8220;the energy bar aisle,&#8221; at your local bike shop and it can be very overwhelming.  There are energy bars, energy jelly beans, energy drink mixes, and of course, energy gel.  We have previously spotlighted a couple energy bars from both Clif and Powerbar.  It is about time to look at the other side of the energy supplement, the energy gels.
Similar to energy bars, it is extremely important that you look at the nutrition labels on energy gels to make ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In part 1 of Cycling Nutrition 101 I talked about the importance of having fats in your diet.  For part 2 in my series of cycling nutrition articles I will delve into a topic that is probably the most important part of a cyclist&#8217;s diet.
If the 1990&#8242;s are to blame for brainwashing us into believing that fats are evil and will make us overweight, than surely the start of the 21st century is to blame for the low carb diet.  Thanks to Atkins, (which thankfully has gone the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every time the topic of nutrition gets brought up on either a cycling forum, or with a bunch of fellow cyclists after a group ride, one thing simply amazes me; there is a remarkable amount of cyclists out there who bike an average of 50 miles a day, can tear down their bike and put it together in the blink of an eye, but know very little about basic nutrition.   I&#8217;m not talking about what to eat or drink immediately before, during, or after a long ride.  ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  	 	 		In the past, PowerBar hasn&#8217;t exactly been known for their healthy energy bars.  They were generally filled with high fructose corn syrup, and high in saturated fats.  Those are two deadly combinations and are the exact opposite of what your body craves after a long ride.  Not too long ago PowerBar released the Harvest line of energy bars.  The Harvest energy bar was designed to compete with organic type energy bars like Clif.  While the PowerBar Harvest isn&#8217;t even partially organic, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of you probably already know the importance of drinking a sports drink after a long ride.  It is very important to restore those electrolytes and carbohydrates that your body desires after a good workout.  The only problem is, if you enjoy a long daily ride, name brand sports drinks can get rather expensive.  Here is a list of sports drink recipes you can make on your own.
Recipe 1

1 can orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lime juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
