Default Re: Atkins Diet - Lets Discuss Pros/Cons/Experiences

One big problem with Atkins: very, very difficult to have high-quality workouts due to low carbohydrate intake. Performance suffers across the board, and glycogen stores are exhausted quickly and not replenished adequately afterward.

I believe this is something your body "adapts" to I read once in a study. Maybe I'll dig it up tommorow. Think it said over a period of time your body adjusts to the lack of carbs and compensates. I've never gone all out keto before, and I can't remember how carb deprived testers were.
