[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 713701, member: 74042"] "So in my experience even more important than the type of exercise is the diet you follow. the less CHO's the lower and more stable the BG during and immediately after exercise. I have to say that while my running performances don't change much if I low carb or not, I am stronger at lifting weights if I eat some carbs the night before." I'd agree entirely with that, but more the insulin on board rather than carbs. Lower insulin=less sharp BG drop=less carbs needed Depends on the distance/duration as to how much carbs impact on endurance performance for me, anything less than 10km/1hr and I think carbs are unnecessary, and I'm soemtimes able to get my BG/insulin right to mean the same for me. More than that and I think you need to start taking in carbs, even though ironically you are moving more towards a fat metabolism. I don't fully understand that bit but I believbe you need soem level of carbs going in for the fat metabolism to function. But that's got little to do with HIIT.
