gusto77 0 #1 August 14, 2010 Can low carb diets increase risk of heat related injuries such as heat exhaustion when doing strenuous exercise? Please no speculations... I know there are some medical, physiological, and nutrition specialists out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #2 August 14, 2010 I don't know, but I do know that my doctor gave me an earful about Atkins when I was a dancer in college. "Atkins is NOT for athletes!". Her specialty was sports medicine, so I figured she'd know. So, I didn't cut carbs, I just made sure they were healthier carbs, not bread and pasta and stuff.

Southern_Man 0 #3 August 14, 2010 I searched on pubmed without success. Perhaps w/ more time I could try more search parameters. One advantage of carbs is that they make sure your glycogen stores are topped off. Each molecule of glycogen is stored with four molecules of water. It is difficult but not impossible to have your glycogen stores topped off on a low-carb diet."What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In point of fact, you're on lower carbs than the intro phase of atkins, much less the loss or maintenance phases. OP - you *can* "hit the wall" easier than on a higher carb diet. Plan against the possibility and have something on hand for it, just in case, like a power bar.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

porpoishead 5 #6 August 14, 2010 LOL fishboy is far from wilted mike little skinnier than usual (a lot actually haven't been this light in years) but still got energy for days and i'm not losing much strength on the cut, like i said im gaining..just priming up i will be back to size just wanted to start off lean from the bottom....i would of blown up with water weight lifting heavy with that much BF on me.... I figured he meant smashing carbs out ... i've seen people get rowdy with low carb and just fall apart and fail miserably hungry and weak... any how i'm no expert or anything but that's what i'm running and for what it's worth i'm not lacking strength or muscle...if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
