Subject: RE: low carb... will it hurt my ability to train? Like a previous poster said, different things work for different people. I have been doing low carb (less than 30-40 grams) for two years now. At the same time was about when I started training for a triathlon. I find my diet does not effect my training. I have lost 40 lbs and kept it off (yes, I am in ketosis most of the time) and have successfully trained and competed a few mini sprints and an Iron Girl. Do what works for you. Try training while in ketosis; give it two weeks. If you are not seeing improvement in your performance, add in more vegetables. The week before my race, I added whole grain bread to my diet. Personally, I am happy with how I look and even happier with my race time. I will never go back to a carb WOL. Best of luck to you!!! |
