I am having more carb cravings this last time I was off Atkins. I was off Atkins for Thanksgiving..a total of 4 days. This last time I was off well over one week. I expect the craving to diminish by the weekend.

Thanks, Molly.

Dr. Atkins has a chapter about the myth of carb-loading. Though he admits more study is required he states that a study was done in 1994 that found the low-carb trained cyclists performed equally as well as the high carbs.( during hugh intensity training) Also..prolonged, moderate training the results were that the endurance was greatly enhanced with the low carb cyclists. He also states that 2 other studies suggests that increasing dietary fat from 15% to 42% increases maximum oxygen consumption and endurance capacity.

Wow! Thanks, lysie. that is just the sort of info my BIL can use. The next thing husband needs is a guide to fruit carbs...He is really looking forward to eating some of those again.
