I have been lowcarbing for about 3months (had a week off over xmas) however, back on induction....

If i do a small amount of cardio e.g 30 - 40 mins Bike; after - the endorphins seem to flow and i
don't feel too bad. However, if i do resistance training i seem to feel really drained of energy
and i am overcome by a generall feeling of unwellness.

After resistance training today (feeling drained)i went and ate a low carb breakfast, which seemed
to pick me up but throughout the day i have still felt pretty [censored]...

Help anyone? I know this post is prob a bit vague but im hoping its just a common hurdle that
people know about...........

i see your low carb. everyone is different of coarse but for me on strength training days i always
eat a bit more carbs. your body uses and needs some carbs. im not saying eat a bowl of pasta or a
loaf of white bread. i dont eat those things either. but i do eat some ex..oat bran for breakfast if
im strength training and maybe an apple afterwards. just me though. good carbs = energy

just my 2cents

Low carbs is for lethargic vegetables that sit on a couch hoping to eat there way a thinner
look(healthier is very questionable) without their pulse getting above 60. Once you add exercise
low carbs diets suck. Your choice, add more carbs or quit/decrease the exercise. Nearly all the
respected exercise journals will tell you must have carbs(no not snickers bars). What percent of
carbs varies with amount of exercise etc. Your body is currently telling you something - add
some carbs.

I'm sure out resident Atkinite and couch potato TC will offer conspiracy retort.

I am not an Atkinite, I am a The-Zonite or just a plain Low-carbite.

I would suggest that on days when a person is doing strenuous exercise, one shouldn't skimp on good
carbs. In fact most *good* carbs are not packed with huge amounts of refined carbs like pasta,
soda, bread, chips etc. So I would say eat all the veggies and fruits that you want as long as you
are active.

Less active people may want to minimize the amounts of the more starchy and high-GI fruits and
veggies such as potatoes, sweet corn, bananas, grapes, etc.

Eat all the lettuce, broccolli, cauliflower, tomatoes, etc that you want.

Any approach to food consumption, like low-carbing, that emphasizes more fruits and veggies and less
refined junk carbs can't be bad for you.

At least Sear's 40/30/30 is a step up from Atkins albeit only a a little. We can thanks Sears for
popularizing the GI notion although Sears and even more Atkins need to be spanked for generalizing
that everyone is insulin sensitive.

Did you change your meds? I think we agree although I find potatoes (baked, broiled or boiled not
fried) a delightful carb if it's not married to a Double Whopper with or without the bread. 😉 If we
continue with this thought and one exercises every day they need a solid daily carb intake which may
possibly be Sears(assuming low volume and not in the 1,200 Kcal day stage) but Atkins is way out to
lunch if not dangerous.

Only if they are sensitive, if not these are just fine and damn tasty.

So, in the end, potatoes and sweet corn are the only reason why LC is bad in your eyes? Will not
eating potatoes make me sick?

I there. I have been in a low carb high protein diet for years. This is the way I dealt with the
problem. 40 minutes before your workout have a ripe banana or other fruit. Then have your work out.
You can also drink juice.
