A member asked:
Why are carbs before a 20+ minute workout now thought to be counterproductive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not neccessarily: Food provides energy for exercise. Eating excess amount of simple sugar or food that cause spikes in blood sugar will result in quick exhaustion after initial high . However carbs with low glycemic index may be helpful.
