Atkins Nutritional Approach
Dan,
I believe your statement on low carb diets for athletes is an overstatement that goes beyond the evidence. The "not good" judgement would preclude any role for it in weight or aerobic training regimens where it is currently used. In bodybuilding, it is used to achieve that "cut" look before competitions, in aerobic training it is used early in the week to enhance a later carbohydrate load. The higher VO2 demands probably indicate a role in aerobic training that has not been explored yet. So how can carbohydrates be "required" for athletes?--Silverback 09:10, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
