[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was eating lower carb, I felt more comfortable with strength training than with aerobic exercises like running. Those, for me, require more carbs.

Eventually, though, I resolved the situation by ditching the low carb approach. I prefer moderate exercise with moderate carbs (and moderate everything else).[/quote]

When you ditched that approach, did you gain?  How did you restructure?[/quote]

Not PP, but I find eating super low carb makes me feel really foggy brain-wise (and no, I don't have the patience to get over the "keto flu" or whatever) and makes aerobic exercise like running feel really sluggish as well.  I eat carbs, but I try to avoid eating tons of sugar, sweeteners (like honey), and refined grains (like white flour and white rice).  I try to eat mainly whole grain bread and crackers, whole wheat pasta, sweet potatoes and potatoes, brown rice, oatmeal, whole grains like bulgar wheat and quinoa, legumes, and fruit for carbs.  I'm not fanatical about never having desert, white bread or pasta but try to moderate that, and I find this lets me continue to run well and makes my workouts feel better than eating a ton of white flour anyway.

I have lost weight eating this way, and I feel a million times better than super low carb.[/quote]
