I like crisps and just wondered how it would affect my riding if I just ate them and nothing else?

Cheers,
Tim

    well one thing that would get you is scurvy

    seeing as scurvy can kill you it could slow you down a fair bit behing dead and all.

    Slightly off at a tangent but this reminds me of an old joke.

    Man says to a woman "I've got a cheese & onion crisp flavoured rib tickler". She says " I know, I can taste it." But I haven't put it on yet ! " he replied.

    +1.... I agree with the death scenario.

    You would need to add, at the very least, beer to this diet in order to survive.

    I think potatoes have quite a bit of vitamin c in them, however,
    I reckon you'd be sick of crisps by the end of day two and literally vomitting by end of day 4, but i'm no expert like.

    Go for it. I've been considering a beer only diet. Carbs, fluids and b-vits. Who needs anything else? :lol:

    You'll get terrible teeth - the starchy potato ruins your gums.
    I gave up crisps at New Year to try and loose some weight - it worked. Lowered my alcohol consumption - what's the point of beer without the crisps?

    I think we're onto a wind-up thread here folks.

    But it would certainly make for a good TV documentary where we get on the phone to Mark Cavendish at the end of the 2010 season, ask him to eat nothing but junk for a couple of weeks and then ride the Cumbrian Christmas Cracker. Would be great to see how that one played out - and that's even if his good mate Thor Hushovd declined to take on the challenge too :lol:

    Not the same thing, but this has tones of Morgan Spurlocks McDonalds only diet from a few years ago. One of the quotes was his doctor telling him his liver was turning to Pate

    Yoinks. :shock:

    lol, cheers for help- I might try it for a day or two and see how it goes. If I start honking my guts up over my bars Ill probably lay off them for a bit and move onto haribo.

    Didnt know you could get scurvy? My dad only eats crisps really and he seems ok lol

    Its been looked into on 'wouldyoulikemetoorderyouanewliver.com'

    Try and swallow disco's whole, they work with the lay lines in the ground and have been known to increase average MPH by 2mph.

    Quavers increase youre downhill & cornering by allowing your body to lean futher into the angle and creating an invisable cushion between you and the road. Skips were found to do the same, but with a shallower angel and increased failure rates.

    10p Space Raiders increased aerobic capacity by opening more of the vessels in the lungs, created by a reaction to the pickled onion.

    Wotsits increased the UV resitance of test fingers.
