When I started low-carbing I was unable to exercise due to arthritis in my knees and feet, asthma, and excess weight. After 6 months of low-carb eating alone (without exercise), my arthritis almost completely disappeared, my asthma inproved, my strength improved and my energy levels skyrocketed so that I am able now to exercise moderately. Diet plays the largest role in a person's health. Exercise is secondary. |
