Who says that??? It’s not a good idea to exercise heavily the first 2 weeks, your body is going thru a conversion process to switch to burning fat for fuel (instead of glucose) and most people feel sluggish but after a couple of weeks most people report feeling better and with more energy than ever in their lives. Exercise on low carb diet is most efficient, you burn your fat stores directly (without having to deplete glycogen stores first like you do in glycolysis)
High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released. As long as you remain <9 carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control, and shouldn’t gain weight.
Many people gain weight on high carb, then switch to low carb to lose weight & then are shocked when they return to high carb that they gain weight. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar and maintain weight or health.
Dr.Atkins was a cardiologist, low carb was a health plan easier sold as a “diet” Read any of his books for easily understandable science. Lutz “Life without Bread” & Taubes “Good calorie, bad calorie” are excellent books that dispel all the nutrition myths.

Because you need carbs for energy. Have you ever noticed that people who exercise a lot and eat hardly any carbs are always tired or dont look so well.
The low carb diet is a sham. You need carbs and calories. If you exercise enough you build muscle and muscle burns fat. But to build muscle you need carbs and calories. As you build more lean muslce your metabolism picks up.
You dont see people like Lance Armstrong practicing that low carb, low calorie crap. He eats almost 5,000 calories a day while training and he is as skinny as a twig.
the idea is.
A.) carbs can easily turn into fat, so in reducing them you cut risk of this happening.
B.) however, with exercise you need energy, therefore carbs r best option
