You don't have to up carbs for exercising. There are some plans that do this, they are more geared to body builders though. Atkins says exercise is a must, and if you exercise regularly you will have a higher carb tolerence level on maintanance, but you don't have to put carbs in.

Ladybelle,I just thought I read that in the book somewhere.or on the website. I don't have time to look now ,but Stacy is only probably getting 10 grams of carbs a day. I thought that maybe she needed to up the carbs some especially since she exercizes everyday walking 2-3 miles . 3 cups of salad ,3 cups of radishes, 1cup of celery and 4 eggs only comes to 9 net carbs.5 tbs of mayo is only a couple grams and a slice of cheddar is aobut 2. That's about 13 net carbs. I am sure she isn't even having that much of those veggies either. I wasn't telling her to up carbs to 50 but she is past induction and I think she should up those carbs to at least 20. What do you think?
