[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 89402, member: 16982"] Just wanted to add, on the 'do you need carbs for exercise front' (and those of you who know me will know I'm a total convert on this as questioned it myself at first), I ate apx 10g carbs yesterday in total, and did 35 mins intensive exercise at the gym, and later on a two hour fairly brisk walk. I was a bit knackered towards the end of the walk but no more than I would have been anyway as it was quite a long trek. I did get hungry (it was tea time) but had bought some chicken with me so stopped to refuel on that mid way through. I firmly believe that the human body is capable of making energy out of whatever you put in it, after all we evolved that way because in primitive times there was no guarantee of what food you'd find. I also believe that to a certain extent you have to train your body to run on low carb food, yes there is a period in the beginning when it may feel weird, as it is not what it is used to, but it soon adapts.
