Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="TorqPenderloin" data-source="post: 990342" data-attributes="member: 211504">The problem with those questions is that "low carb" isn't quantifiable. I realize this is the "Low-carb diet forum" but there is more than one type of low-carb diet. To explain and answer your question:1.) If you are in ketosis- no, you would generally attempt to keep your carb intake as low as possible. That's the concept behind ketosis, your body resorts to using ketones as a source of fuel rather than glucose. 2.) If you are NOT in ketosis- yes, you would generally want to eat carbohydrates around the time you exercise. Not only would it provide additional energy for your workout, but it would also lead to an insulin response/release that promotes muscle gain.</blockquote>
