I was at moderate carb Atkins around 50 grams or so a day with yogurt, blueberries, and the like. There is a whole thread with useful links and advice from Natrushka at forum.lowcarber.org in the specific exercises forum.Anthabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966100178819491187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-60479812680105974942008-01-18T10:56:00.000-05:002008-01-18T10:56:00.000-05:00I can see where increasing your protein would make...I can see where increasing your protein would make up for the lack of carbs. First off you need it to build muscle. Second off, if you eat just a little more than you need to build muscle, you get a little glucose out of that, which is not always a bad thing.<BR/><BR/>Body for Life/Bill Phillips says the same thing about carbs and bodybuilding. The really hilarious part is that if you read the BfL book, it says too many people are getting fat from carb overload, but then Bill goes into the whole low-fat dogma, so BfL folks have to get their energy from somewhere. If I could figure out the gym thing I might try BfL this year, but I would not follow the dietary plan, that's for sure.Dana Seilhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11749354913843954242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-71099638488677956182008-01-16T17:29:00.000-05:002008-01-16T17:29:00.000-05:00Whoo Hoo!

Get the powder and not the pills. One teaspoon of powder is 5 grams of L-Glutamine. You can dissolve it in water or a protein shake after your workout. I found it really useful when I did Body For Life some years ago.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Anthabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966100178819491187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-36212475510621619292008-01-16T10:04:00.000-05:002008-01-16T10:04:00.000-05:00THANKS for sharing Rachel!

I'd love to see them.<BR/><BR/>Also, I am a diehard athlete...and the hardest part about low-carbing is giving up those carbs for my daily workouts. It just isn't happening too well. I still feel like I need things like bananas, peanut butter, and low-carb tortillas. If I eat all three of those things, my carb count is pretty high. And yet that gives me fuel for my workouts. <BR/><BR/>Are you hungrier now that you're lifting weights?Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01778569082704885832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-27772553355658453692008-01-15T14:35:00.000-05:002008-01-15T14:35:00.000-05:00Ummm, thanks Tom...I think? :OUmmm, thanks Tom...I think? :OJimmy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590225257991702645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-21805558903885335962008-01-15T13:45:00.000-05:002008-01-15T13:45:00.000-05:00I think your trainer is moving you to fast and you...I think your trainer is moving you to fast and your driving yourself to hard and to fast. You could easily do the same exact thing and get to the same exact place your heading with a lot less detriment to your overall and long lasting health by doing exactly half of what you are now doing. -- So in two months you will be this far and in six months you will be this far... you will easily be able to shift to full power once you get your body tuning in to it's re-found self that has been lost for so long. -- Just like your trainer was so adamantly mistaken about carbohydrates he is equally mistaken about pacing and transformation after years of misusing ourselves. Treadmills should all be thrown away. Had you walked and ran and did somersaults getting this far instead of the treadmill you could easily have moved into the pace you are now setting. Yours is the 'classic' advertisement of the skinny kid getting sand kicked in his face and the girls laughing and snickering before becoming strong and healthy and handsome and muscular and sought after. -- Keep up the great work. -- If you will be able to rein your ego in after all this that will be something in itself!!!Tom Bunnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11840576840382147883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-28938566454703072432008-01-15T13:11:00.000-05:002008-01-15T13:11:00.000-05:00Congrats on lifting weights, Jimmy!

I KNOW weight lifting is important to my health and strength, and I enjoy doing it, but I have been neglecting it. I would enjoy hearing about your daily lifting and eating. Even though we need to choose for ourselves what works for us, it helps me to see detailed information about the progress of others. I enjoy good muscle soreness, too!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307981052571908458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-24383032015915372342008-01-15T11:54:00.000-05:002008-01-15T11:54:00.000-05:00I agree about the pain meaning progress.

That's why I'm LOVIN' it despite the intense pain and stiffness. <BR/><BR/>The manager also gave me the line about being the "expert" until I told him how much weight I lost eating a high-fat, low-carb diet. That and reading Taubes' book silenced him. :)<BR/><BR/>By the way, since you're a fan of <I>The Biggest Loser</I>, you'll be pleased to know I have about a dozen interviews set up with the contestants from Season 4.

The last think I read regarding him was he saw the light and was going to do something about his health and weight. Is that still the case?

I've been doing the same thing (weight training), starting late October, and have seen similar muscle growth.<BR/><BR/>I have not had the intense soreness that you have, but I do get pretty sore, and I see that as a sign that good changes are taking place. I do remember in the beginning thinking "there's NO WAY I can make it through this 12 week program", but it does get easier as you get stronger, more coordinated, and used to the higher workload.<BR/><BR/>I had to laugh about your trainer wrinkling his face about your eating plan. I have experienced the exact same thing, but in my case, I have not been able to convince mine that low-carb is the way to go. Not only do they insist that, "You need carbs for energy", but also they start a vain appeal to authority ("You came to us because we're the experts, and so, we're telling you what you need to be eating...") They want me to eat 300 g of carbs per day! Give me a break! More like 60-90 grams works best for me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your inspiring posts. It will be fun for me to follow along with you (and along with this year's Biggest Loser contestants) as we all put on some lean muscle!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902300112239171738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-17792680495925122272008-01-15T10:08:00.000-05:002008-01-15T10:08:00.000-05:00I know the kind of pain you're talking about, I us...I know the kind of pain you're talking about, I used to get that whenever I tried traditional weight training methods.
