[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1818297, member: 429870"] I agree with dbr10. Like you I run and am active. I only eat about 20g carbs daily and for a while I have been feeling weak. I have increased my fat intake, but over a certain level that made me feel sick. Now I am following Dr Bernstein's ([URL]http://www.diabetes-book.com/whats-left-to-eat/[/URL]) advice and have upped my protein intake. Unlike High Fat, higher protein is unfashionable at present, but it seems to be working for me. I am very thin and I think that on low carb I was starving myself! We are all different, but those lost carbs have to be replaced by something, unless the person has lots of surplus fat to lose. I suggest you experiment to find what combination of nutrients will fuel your activity level comfortably. It may even be that you can get away with adding in a few more carbs around exercise, if you don't want to try the fat-adapted route recommended by Mbker. Just keep checking your meter. [/QUOTE]
