I was concern about the volume of carbs to eat during the day.. especially vs exercising, and not exercising.. I found a link on the OH web page that totally gave me a clear view we need a certain about of carbs to burn if we are exercising , or body in movement.. check out the link .. i was not totally clear on the subject, and even my nutritionist  was telling to get rid of almost all carbs.. but your body needs a certain level for glycogen level .. unlike a person who is on a 2000 calorie intake.. a 60 to 90 work out without carbs wouldn't effect them.. but if us who barely can eat in 900 to 1200 calories.. our body cannot sustain a 60 to 90 min workout without a some form of carbs that will fuel our body meaning being lightheaded, nausea, after workout is from the LACK OF CARB INTAKE.. good to know but I still won't go overboard just good carbs like an apple, oatmeal, or even  a protein bar before a work out!!

wow thats really awesome information. thank you for sharing this!!!!!!!

No prob.. we won't know unless we share info!!

Yes, it's super important to eat protein and carbs 30-45 minutes before a workout.  I like oatmeal with protein powder, fruit and milk added.  It fills me up without making me too full to exercise.   

I know now I was literally running away from carbs!!

 Thanks for posting that link!!! I was always curious what my carbs should be at too and I can never get a clear answer from anyone! lol  

Yeah I gues it's because we view carbs as the BOOGIE-Man.. but I will eat a few NOW!! LOL!

Thanks for the excellent information. I printed out the article and put it in my WLS folder for future reference. Forewarned is forearmed.  This should be very helpful next year when we're all running our triathlons. (Well, maybe)

LOL!! or just be glad to jog 1 mile!!  I gotta get back and focus.. Mrs. Illinois is gaining on me LOL!! I wish you continued success!!
Lisa!!
