Funny little thing happened yesterday. Michelle (my wife) has changed her eating style too along with me. She's not tracking carbs and doesn't really care too. I think her eating style would be classified more Paleo than Keto as she is eating less fat and more protein and pretty low amount of carbs. Anyhow, Paleo eaters get the carb flu too.
Yesterday we were riding an easy 1 hour of zone2 and she couldn't make it 20minutes before she was having issues. I noticed early on she was not comfortable and seemed to be working harder than normal. Even at 60% of her FTP she had no power in her. We lowered the resistance wattage significantly and she was still struggling. Finally she said "something's wrong with the bike or the trainer or the computer because this is way too hard." I got on her bike and pedaled for 20-30 seconds. It was okay, nothing wrong. She just finally hit that "no energy" spot where you got no strength or power. She didn't get back on the bike and called it a day.
She'll ride again tomorrow and we'll see if her strength is back. I'm assuming it'll return by the weekend. Luckily for me, mine dropped off but no where near that bad and it appears to now be coming back. I think it's because I ride a lot more than her, but that's just an assumption.
