A Good question
Hello,
If someone follows the high protein/low carb diet religiously, then won't they have a problem with a lack of energy even if he or she eats the right carbs? Eating a lot of protein/fat doesn't seem logical. Do people who go on these low carb diets complain of a lack of energy? Thanks, Martin Eden |

A Good question
If someone follows the high protein/low carb diet religiously, then won't they have a problem with a lack of energy even if he or she eats the right carbs? I wouldn't know about a high-protein diet, since I'm on Atkins. Maybe somebody from some kind of high-protein plan will chime in. Eating a lot of protein/fat doesn't seem logical. Do people who go on these low carb diets complain of a lack of energy? I haven't had this much energy since I was a kid. "carbs are essential for energy" is ignorant crap. The only thing carbs gave me were mid-afternoon slumps that made me feel comatose, and 24/7 munchies. I'll eat high-fat, low-carb for life.

A Good question
I always thought that it was *protein* that provided energy, not carbs???
Or maybe I've been watching too many commercials for dogfood In any event, I suppose Martin's question is not germane vis-a-vis my own diet -- in doing Atkins, I find that in addition to eating fewer carbs, I'm eating more vegetables and actually *less* meat overall.

When I consistently eat low-carb I have more energy, sleep better and I am able to focus/think better. However, I have found that on LC I don't have as much stamina for extended physical exersion. For example, I used to ride my bike at a nearby lake from the access road to the dam, about 6mi one way. Before I was LC'ing I could make it to the dam and back with out straining, hitting the wall, pooping out, etc. On LC I started to poop out at around mi 5 on the way in. At first I thought it was illness or something else but after about two months of testing I found that if I at some carbs a few hours before my ride I was okay. This was when I first started LC about 4-5yrs ago and I don't know if it is still true because I don't ride any more. Eating a lot of protein/fat doesn't seem logical. As a famous novelist-philosopher used to say "check your premises" Regards, David |

The person you quoted shows a pattern of obnoxious and largely worthless posts. I killfile'd him a week after I started reading the group. DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email) |
