Increase carbs with exercise?

I've added some exercise to my life (bike riding). Right now, I'm doing
about five miles a day up and down some reasonable hills. I hope to get to
the point where I'm riding about an hour a day at a fairly intense level,
probably 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night. My no exercise
carb limit is around 30/day.

Also, is it necessary to increase carbs? Its not like I'm doing hard core
exercise.

Thanks, Mike

Mike,

Do you see any need to increase carbs?

Mike,

No. It doesn't seem to make sense, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Well, it makes perfect sense not to increase carbs if you don't need to.
If/when you start doing enough exercise to require more carbs, you'll know
it.

What we don't want/need to do here is to get the notion floating around that
just because you do some exercise, you need more carbs. Sometimes the
points are subtle, and that's where the danger is.

Mike,

No. It doesn't seem to make sense, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

iam with you

This was addressed by Igor a few years back, when he ran a marathon without
carbs.

Carbs might play a role in preparing for the Olympics, but IMHO in ordinary
exercise there is no justification for increasing carbs.

Define ordinary exercise.

Are all generalizations over your head?

You can rationalize the excuses you make for your obesity, or you can do
something productive.
