Hi all. I'm an avid martial artist studying the art of Tae Kwon Do. Since I started Atkins(Jan 7,2003) I have lost about 7 lbs. I have about 30 left to go.

My question: What can I eat to give me some energy for my workouts? Can I have an energy bar like Zone that has 20 grams of Carbs per bar? The carbs will surely be burned up in the hour long workout.

Right now I look like I just started training, nevermind I have been doing this 3-4 times a week for 2 years. I look pathetic.

I'm on the verge of giving up Atkins just so I can get back to my usual workouts!!

Any help?

Thanks so much.
