NO. EATING A LOT OF BREAD BEFORE EXERCISE IS DEFEATING THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF ATKINS.

Exercise, as for me, has only improved since I've been on ATkins.

Your body changes metabolic paths every time it goes into ketosis. Eating bread before exercise is 1) unnecessary and 2) unnecessary.

1) because you can create enough energy and quickly enough burning ketones

2) because you would be throwing yourself out of ketosis. If you burn off more calories than the carbs in the bread had, you'd force your body to convert back to ketosis WHILE you're exercising which is much more exhausting for your metabolism than if it were to have been using ketones the whole time. And besides, your body builds up resistence every time it has to change back INTO ketosis anyway.

Oh yea. And 3) it's unnecessary

Best,
Molley
