Exercising your way to success

With Easter just finishing up here in the States, let me tell you about my interesting idea....

I figured I would try to go "low carb" just to see how it worked for a few days.  I mean, if it's all the rage, how would it effect a person like me.

I'll start by saying that I am a lot more active than most.  I get at least a 45 minutes of vigorous exercise in a day (I wake up at 5am to make sure it happens) and my diet is pretty clean.  I figured I'd go "low carb" for 7 days and judge if it would help me cut any more.

I made it a whole 3 days.....

Wholly cow, I've never been so sore in my life.  I hardly had any energy to work out with and my workouts began to stink pretty bad.  I was irritable and I finally had to have a meal replacement shake yesterday before I did legs.

I could almost feel the carbs from the shake seeping into my muscles and within 10 minutes of my workout, I felt almost as strong as I usually do.

If carbs are so bad for you, why does your body soak them up so fast....

So...for me....carbs=good (in the correct form of course)
