Actually, a person on another list (Live-Food) bikes alot. She used

to require water throughout her rides (as did her fellow riders). She

now is able to maintain hydration and electolytes drinking raw milk

before, a little during, and after. The total volume is much less

than water alone. She also seems to sweat less. Needless to say, her

friends think she's nuts.

I'll second that. When I was on a raw milk and fruit (very little fruit)

diet back in college I discovered to my surprise I didn't need water to

stay hydrated even though I was heavily involved in sports. I also

maintained my energy and strength with what was essentially fairly low

starchy carbs. At that point I chucked the whole high carb approach for

athletes. The naive vegetarian website listed on the WAP site has a good

article about what is the best sports diet.
