Exactly the kind of status quo crap we've all heard hundreds of times before. But you forgot [parrot mode]If you exercise without having enough carbs (carboloading), you body will attack your muscle tissue and use THOSE for energy!!![/parrot mode]
As a mountain biker, I hear that one ALL THE TIME and it drives me nuts. Of course you body doesn't use muscle tissue for energy, that's one of the most riduculous assertions I've ever heard. It uses your FAT STORES for energy once it's finished with the carbs. Bah!  |
