Below is a copy of the post at Jimmy Moore’s where I commented on regarding exercise while on a low carb diet
Here’s what greggers19 said:
Has anyone tried to do the P90X workouts while on a low carb, high fat diet? I am starting it today but wanted to know if someone on here has done it before and what to expect. I’ve done P90X before but it was when I wasn’t low carb, and I saw mild results, I wonder why ha.
Thanks, Greg

Hi greggers19,
I have to tell you, you’ll find some seriousrly brilliant resulsts if you do any type of exercise when you’re on a low carb diet. I remember when I first started low carb, I used to be a body builder and I would spend anything up to an hour and half, 4 or 5 times a week doing a number of sets. Now the concensus of opinion among many in the bodybuilding arena is that you can’t do low carb when you’re doing weight training. They says it zaps your energy.
Well, after a few, maybe 6 weeks on low carb, the most amusing thing was is that towards the end of my time at the last gym I was at, the trainer used to follow me around and he couldn’t believe that I was doing the same sort of weights in the time I was doing them in, mind you, at that time, neither could I. So as ecocarnivore has said, any exercise program works on low carb, I would change it, just slightly, any exercise program works better on low carb.
Hope that helps,
Mark
