    Godspeed youngster on your new life journey!
    I didn't know you were doing choir practice; I wish I could afford a daily adjustment!
    What I know about nutrition, after nearly 60 years of sports, is this:
    Carbs beforehand, and protein afterwards.
    In between, be careful what you eat. Junk in equals junk out.
    Looking forward to your next series of videos, and my best wishes for your continued success, happiness, and health always!

    I was lucky enough to be helped by a hospital here in France, i was put in hospital for 3 weeks, i had a doctor 2 dieticians a physiotherapists and a sports scientist . The first dietician was terrible more interested in her new clothes than helping people. She seemed to understand that i was unhappy with her work and i was transferred to the other one. After the course finished i had to go back every 3 months for a year to speak to each of the specialists. I lost 25 kilo during that year . That was 2019 to 2020 October to October. And i have kept up the regime i was given cycling and the diet. And have kept of the weight. I have never been so healthy. So yes i love your cycling videos but i would be interested in hearing about your work. We could all benefit from learning more.

    Good luck with the move. How about doing a series on nutrition for recreational riding? Perhaps people who ride 2 to 3 hours at a moderate pace. Much is made about the crazy demands of racing and needing to use fancy drinks and such. But for many normal riders, we just need to avoid running g out of gas on a ride. And post ride to not get hungry and overeat a couple of hours later. Maybe with an emphasis on normal food at the grocers that work and not so much pricey packaged things.

    Good luck with everything you do. The NHS needs more nutritionalists, after my wife bowel cancer diagnosis in 2019 in which she had to have a stomach fitted. It was 14 months later when she had the reversal because of Covid, she still can’t eat certain foods and we don’t know if she ever will. The good people at Maggie’s tried to help her but as far as her surgical team, they were useless with help on nutrition.
