Hello all,
Firstly, I'm not a dietian/nutritionist so forgive the ignorance of my question !!!
There's been a lot of press over the last 2-years or so about these fix-it-all diet programs
(Atkins, South Beach, etc...) that are largely responsible for turning "carb" into a 4-letter word.
However, in the world of endurance sports (running, cycling, swimming, etc...) carbs and carbo-
loading is as important as oxygen--requiring it as a main source of energy for the athlete.
Again, I'm not a nutritionist, but are carbs only bad for you if you're a couch potato (no pun
intended) looking to loss weight?
