  • I eventually want to start running marathons, and I run 5 days a week right now. I just wonder if I could still do low-carb or if I need adjust my diet to include breads, more calcium, etc??
  • Thanks to all of you for the comments and advice! I appreciate it so much, especially the article! I'm reading that now, and it's already very helpful. Thanks everyone!! =)
  • If you run, you're a runner! =) Thanks for the input, I definitely value it! I'm the same - low-carb I just can't do it and run!! =(
  • Thank you for your reply! All the info everyone posted has come in very handy. & I definitely agree, I feel like when following low-carb that I just can't run, it seems harder, but if I eat more carbs, I go longer and faster.
  • Impatient. Keep going. What did you have on the blow it day? If it contained a lot of salt, you could still be retaining water weight from that. I started out doing low-carb, and I really lost quite a bit doing that, but I noticed when I had a cheat day and ate a lot of carbs, I would go up 3-4lbs due to water b/c carbs…
