Started to read the Dukan book. Questions… Carbs are energy, how when you are eating pure protien and training hard for a race, maintain energy? As I ramp up my miles for the 10K, I find I am so hungry and at times low energy ( I have been doing more like Paleo, but with some carbs)
I think when the race is done, I am going to concentrate on diet, I have about 12 lbs to go to be at my true weight.
Great question, Cindy! Well, we are led to believe that carbs are our energy source, when in fact we get energy from fat and protein, as well. I learned to run while eating Dukan. There are some articles out there that talk about training, endurance and running on a higher protein diet, I’ll look them up and post them.
I’ve personally noticed on pure protein days I run faster, but at this point my body has adapted to using fat for energy (thank you body)!
The Paleo camp says that if you think about it, the cavemen had to run frequently (from predators) and there wasn’t a simple carb around to give them energy 🙂 Their carb source was typically complex in root veggies and other plants.
Interesting articles:

Just to note the body has a ‘preference’ for burning carbs for energy (glucose) the body is infinitely capable, although not preferential about burning fat (lipids) as a fuel source….it can and does learn this! Cindy one thing to note about working out heavily while cutting back carbs (I think) is to begin slowly. The body can and will adapt, but I do think if you go from a rather typical amount of carbs to a say, < 100 grams/day the body gets thrown into a tailspin and energy levels sag. OR if you want those more rapid results typical of a steep drop in carbs, don't make the change while you're training. Dukan advocates only 30 minutes walking a day…and that is a suggestion, not a mandate. If you do dukan, 12 pounds will not take too long to shred 🙂
Excellent advise, Anna 🙂 And you’re right, 12 pounds will melt off if you follow Dukan to the letter.
p.s. in regard to hunger… Since going high protein and low carb last year, it is rare for me to actually experience hunger. Carbs from wheat and sugars are the main triggers and since I eliminated them I eliminated hunger 🙂
Adding a few more items to my shopping list. Can’t wait to try.
Can’t wait to cook for you, Mom 🙂
And I can’t wait to see you.
