I often check out a forum for bodyweight exercises because I do a lot of bodyweight exercises as part of my dry land training.
Anyway, many people on that board are all into this low carb stuff. I tried it out for 6 months but had the feeling that I don't have enough energy if I don't eat enough complex carbs like grains(pasta, rice, bread etc).
Is it just me or do other swimmers experience the same?
Just wondering...

One season we no-carbed during taper (perhaps just before taper). When we went back to our regular diets the extra energy was profound. I just rember being so darn hungry. I couldn't say if it was worth it.
We did it during polo for one season only. I say once because tensions were so high that we had too many fights, and team mates were injuring each other. Never again.
