Carbohydrates and Bodybuilding
By Dwayne Hines II
Football star David Garrard recently lost 20 pounds in a short
period of time. In an article for Sporting News, he said he
basically cut out all carbs for three weeks to achieve the
weight loss.
Are these types of extreme diets a good way to go?
Yes and no.
Yes, you can achieve some weight loss in the short term. However,
extreme diets typically don't work in the long run. Traci Mann,
UCLA Associate Professor and lead author of a 2007 study on weight
loss, notes "You can initially lose 5 to 10 percent of your weight
on any number of diets, but then the weight comes back. We found
that the majority of people regained all the weight, plus more.
Extreme diets do not lead to sustained weight loss or health
benefits for the majority of people."
The long term success rate of these questionable approaches is
poor. In addition to a poor track record over the long term,
there is another issue that bodybuilders must be aware of when
considering the extreme low carb diet or other similar
approaches to eating. The chief consideration is obtaining
enough fuel to for the workout. Get too low on fuel and your
workout is impaired. An impaired workout in turn translates
into no muscle gain. Do this a few times in a row and you
may actually lose ground on your muscles.
For working out, your prime fuel comes from carbs and if you
are cutting your carbs to extremely low levels, don’t expect
to have much of a workout. The same is true for the post
workout recovery. If you are inhibiting carb intake, then
your post workout recovery won’t be as beneficial as it
could be with some carbs.
If you do choose to use a low-carb dietary approach, do so
on a mixed basis. That is, go with a low carb diet part
of the week, and boost the carb intake on the days that
you work out hard. By insuring that you have enough carbs
to fuel your training (both before and after the workout)
you will insure that your muscles don’t feel the downside
of your diet.
Notes:
The editor feels it is best to get your carbohydrates
from natural fruits and vegetables rather then wheat
and grains
