[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 211947, member: 33342"] Hiya Smoss, Have you tried doing your exercise without eating carbs before? I run 2 or 3 miles before breakfast most days (and I weigh 260lbs so it's a non-trivial effort), and I don't have any problem with my energy levels. I've even managed to keep it up on this (stupid) 800cal diet. I suppose it depends how much exercise you do in a session, but unless you do enough to exhaust the glucose in your blood (and cause a liver dump) then I'm not sure how eating more carbs will help you. Most of us have (by definition) trouble dealing with existing sugar in our blood, dumping more sugar on top of it won't make it get to your muscles any easier. [/QUOTE]
