thank you! I started to today so I should be good by next saturday and pass the detox phase. I think eating more protein will make more sense for my body and I wont have a sugar crash during the half way point. I just wanted to be sure because 13.1 miles is alot to me and low energy will only make it worse.

General Discussion / Half marathons and doing low carb anyone out there do it?
« on: October 27, 2011, 08:40:02 AM »
I am wanting to try to do my race next week while doing low carb. I have been eating low carb on and off for over a year. I feel great when I eat low carb, but I am scared to walk my half marathon with no carbs. I think its mainly because the idea of carb loading gets pounded into your system. This will be my 6th or 7th half marathon, so I wanted to try something different. I am starting the low carb today and my race is next sat. Is that too soon to try and do a half marathon without carbs, maybe my body wouldnt have enough time to adjust?

Thank you for clearing that up for me, I have always wanted to know the right thing to do. So would it be ok to start tomorrow and not eat carbs before the race? Its not like I always feel this huge surge of energy while Im doing the race anyways. And Im a walker not a runner, so i dont need tons of carbs. I also dont want to down tons of fiber before a big race, bc I am not going to get pulled from the race because I have to keep going to the bathroom lol. I am super excited to start the FTS lifestyle. SO what type of things could I eat before the race? Its usually toast and peanut butter, a banana, or a cliff bar. But i noticed I get hungry within three miles of the 13.1 miles. I wonder if eggs would be okay to eat, maybe like hard boiled not scrambled. I think I am gonna go ahead and start tomorrow, and pack my light snacks for saturday's notre dame game. Why wait!

I checked my lunch meat and cheese and they are fine both are 0. Although I am considering on starting this next sunday after my race. I am too nervous to do my half marathon low carb, I am gonna start wth a 5k eating low carb before i move onto the big ones. I want to be able to make it thru the two weeks without any problems. I also thought about just continuing with low carb until next friday then eating a few ore carbs on friday and sat morning. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

Thank you everyone for the support its so nice to meet all of you. I have a few more questions for everyone, call e the question queen lol.
1. I do a lot of races and half marathons, but everytime before a race I always hear you have to carb up. Then after the race I continue to carb up.....for several days lol. What can i eat to make sure i have enough energy?
2. Can I have cottage cheese?
3. Am I allowed to have all nuts or only almonds and walnuts?
4. My La tortilla factory tortillas have more than 2 net carbs in them, which are the best ones?
thank you so much for your help and answers.
Ps I am going to the notre dame game this weekend and I am packing lunch meats, cheese, cucumbers, nuts, and water. This way I can be prepared

Thank you for the info. Pasta, peas, corn, and rice dont bother me I could go without those forever, but sometimes bread and chips are hard for me I over do it with portions. Weight watchers was crazy bc i constantly thought about food all day and hated all the extra work. Beans will have to wait until the extra weight is gone or give the new ones a try.

Hello, I got the book yesturday and read the entire thing in one day. I really like the concept but have a little confusion about the eating guidelines. I am so use to doing atkins or south beach diet and their crazy guidelines and phases. SO I guess I was expecting that, and the fact that I can have gg bran crisp bread and the la factory tortillas is exciting. So here are my questions: Can we have beans? How much fruit are we allowed a day? Is there a certain amount of carbs that we can have a day? I actually enjoy eating low carb but i want to make sure I am doing your plan correct. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you
