Losing weight, low carb diet.losing weight?
building muscle?
Why are you trying to replace glycogen stores and eat carbs on a low carb diet? That defeats the purpose.....to replace Glycogen stores, whilst on a low carb diet.
Good thing do you think, or undermining the whole thing?
If you replace glycogen stores so you can do a second session that day then perhaps the net total of energy burned can be greater (higher intensity, dip deeper into your energy reserves than you would have otherwise). If you’re only doing one session a day there wouldn’t be any point in replacing glycogen stores.Losing weight, low carb diet.
Just generally feeling fucked during and after sessions, so was considering adding some carbs around sessions. Only some wholemeal rice or something.Why are you trying to replace glycogen stores and eat carbs on a low carb diet? That defeats the purpose.
What’s your thinking there?
This is my problem with low carbs.Just generally feeling fucked during and after sessions, so was considering adding some carbs around sessions. Only some wholemeal rice or something.
My logic was I'd be burning off the pre-session meal, and I'd had it explained to me previously by a power lifter (maybe incorrectly), that eating IMMEDIATELY after training are almost 'free' carbs because of depleted glycogen levels.
Am I way off?
If you’re adding carbs around a session make it something high GI (drink a coke or two). Something like that immediately after a session goes straight to your muscle stores, your power lifter friend is correct.Just generally feeling fucked during and after sessions, so was considering adding some carbs around sessions.
