There are a few things that are common knowledge but many of us chose to ignore and also some things that many of us never realized.
*These are all notes and facts brought to you down the COC from the Surgeon General of Canada.
Its a bit of a read as it covers everything, but to anyone whos serious about getting into shape, I strongly recommend it.

Sorry, he lost me right when he said that carbs were as important to building muscle as protein was.
I don't care if he ran the article by 15 nutritionists and 40 doctors, all of them would be wrong.
As for getting energy.....sure, you can get it from carbs...you can also get energy from fat, and gasp...even protein.
Problem is that not everyone is the same, so generically saying that its impossible to keep your energy levels up while eating a low-carb diet is ridiculous.
I can do heavy lifting sessions on 30g of carbs per day, but the next guy might need 100g.
