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

I used to need glycogen to run also!

I would run and by the end of half an hour run I would be extremely
tired.

Now, though, I run for 1 hour 35 minutes and I was not tired, my legs
were "as good as new".

Again, I ran at low intensity.

I think that it was a fascinating experiment (for me anyway). I will
definitely run a 1/2 marathon, unfortunately, registration for it is
now closed. My boss is going to run it, as well as the full marathon
(which is also closed for new registrations).

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.

Thank you for sharing your relevant personal experience. Maybe I am
somehow more adaptable to LC, it is hard to say, or maybe you like to
run faster than I do. I always liked fat.

I found I did not really lose weight on low-carb because I would eat
too many fat calories.

I do not lose weight either, fortunately, as I do not need to lose
weight. But I am eating "to my heart's content", which is extremely
nice to me compared to being somewhat hungry on a moderate carb,
limited calorie diet. I am greatly hoping that this diet will work for
me in the long run. The people on the paleo email mailing list who hd
been on this for a long time are all very happy and relaxed about
their eating, which is great. (there i san obvious selection bias in
that sample of people, but still, it is nice)

Yes actually I learned alot from trying the low-carb, and I leaned toward
the paleo side of it as well. As a result my diet is more balanced and more
satisfying now too.


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?

Lyle hangs out in misc.fitness.weights...


Yes but Lyle also pokes his head in here sometimes...
