What do you think of Low carb?

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...

    Just think of the meat eating animals...like the big cats. They dont eat many carbs, but are still very explosive and muscular :) Yeah, but they also sleep 23 hours of the day:D Chimpanzees are our closest relatives who eat mainly plant food and almost no meat but are extremely muscular and powerful. They are about 7 times stronger than humans. Gorillas aren't exactly wimps either. Their only protein source is plant protein and a bunch of insects.
