Dear as265,
I know the feeling! That's why I switched from Atkins to Schwarzbein, it gives more freedom in adjusting your carb level to your activity level. I use the carbs when I'm engaged in sustained aerobic activity and revert back to low carb when I'm not. Some people will tell you that your body can be trained to use fat as an energy source but mine won't, I tried and I bombed on a long training run.
I eat about 70-90 carbs a day on Schwarzbein. I am losing weight although it's slower that others.
Good luck to you as you progress on your new way of life. I've never felt better and I've met such wonderful people of this forum!
Bye,
Maureen
