thanks, good article and in line with my experience.


The article says moderate exercise. "Keep in mind however, you should avoid
high-intensity and high-duration exercise..." For me, running is *always*
high enough intensity that I need glycogen to help fuel it. Walking is
different. For each person the intensity of running will be different; even
slow jogging can be muscularly intense for some. I tried low-carb for 6
months and had to cut my exercise workload a great deal. For me it simply
did not work. Some people's physiology may be better adapted to a stricter
low-carb lifestyle.

I found I did not really lose weight on low-carb because I would eat too
many fat calories. Calorie control is the way to go - ask Lance armstrong.
This year I've been eating a not-so-low carb diet, but it does have the
shape of a TKD diet, particularly for the simple carbs that I enjoy - and my
exercise is better than ever. Where is LYLE McDONALD (author of CKD) when
these discussions come up?
