SKD =Slow Carb Diet?: If trying to lose weight, then a slow carb diet would be good. However, you may need more carbs if your activity level is high. I am currently using the somanabolic system, which factors in activity level, fitness goals, body type to create an optimal diet. Another option is to pick up a book on diets for athletes.
