CARB CONTROVERSY: WHY LOW-CARB DIETS HAVE GOT IT ALL WRONG
“As a weight loss strategy, cutting carbs (while reducing the total number of calories) clearly works pretty well for some people. If it didn’t, then Atkins would have never been popular in the first place.
Here’s the thing, though: Carb reduction costs us.
You see, most of us require some level of carbohydrates to function at our best over the long term.
Sure, we can cut carbs temporarily if we need to lose weight quickly. But for most of us, keeping carbs too low for too long can have disastrous consequences.
This is especially true for those of us who work out.“–Brian St. Pierre, Precision Nutrition

George: I was able to enter the open and posted my score but the website is saying “pending”. Is that normal. Does it just take a while to post to the leaderboard.
Thank you everyone!
LOVING that pushup article George! Oregon pushups >>> HR Pushups. It’s gonna happen!
Al-Yes! It says “pending” because Lisa has to validate it. No worries!
Jade–I’m sure it will!
