Well, I learned another big lesson over the weekend. Extended, intense activity is impossible for me with amount of carbohydrates allowed for in this diet. In fact, it really hurts.
I went skiing this weekend with my wife and son. On Saturday, my wife and I skied hard for a couple of hours an I just bonked. I dragged myself back to the room and had a piece of toast but it was too late and I felt like crap for the next 24 hours. I guess that I just did not see this coming since my lifting has been going so well. But, now it seems obvious. My workouts are brief, intense and accompanied by a big serving of carbs in the form of a shake (Biotest Surge). I am sure I could have avoided this with a big bowl of oatmeal for breakfast before skiing.
I would caution others on this diet to modify their caloric and carbohydrate intake to account for any significant increase in activity.
