Low Carb Cancellation


"Smart Exercise" - Indeed! Based on a friend's recommendation, I bought this book and read it a year or two ago. I just re-read the mini-chapter on ketosis and carbohydrate loading to conclude a low carb diet is no bueno.

Plus I'm running again and had decided to resume carbs once running was again possible. My fourth try after 6 weeks off brought with it success. I was able to run 6 miles without stopping during lunch while the temperature climbed into the upper 80's.

As an after-thought, based on the information in this book I will likely never try the low-carb madness again -- though I did make it through induction (< 20 carbs/day) so I have that going for me.
