Hi!
I just started training for a marathon! I'm pretty heavy and quickly realized I need to drop weight fast. I decided on Atkin's because hear about the quick results. Of course, we always here you MUST carbo load for endurance exercises. Well, here is my hypothesis. As I understand it, the phenomenom of "hitting the wall" is when your body has used up all it's glycogen stores, and is now trying to access your fat stores. Well, if we are in a state of ketosis and have surplus fat stores wouldn't we avoid hitting the wall beacause we would have already been burning fat for energy? Is this too simplistic? I noticed alot of you experienced endurance exercersicers still include some carbs for the long haul. Thanks for your input! Sincerely, Lisa
