| Keeranx,
"Carbohydrates are necessary for anaerobic glycolysis which is needed for high intensity exercising too...so if you do a lot of running or sprinting its important that your carbohydrate intake be adequate. I do a lot of running so a very low carbohydrate diet for me would probably cause me to tire more quickly."
I see that you are into SPORTS nutrition. A typical athlete will burn far more calories during workouts, competition etc. than your typical Joe and Jane Diabetic. That's why sports nutritionists recommend the higher carb diet. However, you need to check out Loren Cordain's web site. He's a sports nutritionist that advocates a low carb diet for athletes and is very successful.
Best wishes,
