Industry-Presented Webinar: Carbohydrates, Performance & Weight Loss

Low carbohydrate diets are far from new. The Paleolithic Diet, Atkins Diet, the Dukan Diet, and to a certain extent, the gluten-free craze all limit carbohydrates either intentionally or because the recommended choices limit carbohydrate intake by default. Most consumers gravitate toward low carb diets to manage body weight, while others choose gluten-free or follow a Paleolithic diet because they believe it’s healthier. Even endurance athletes including triathletes, marathoners, ultra-runners are turning to low carbohydrate diets believing that this will enhance performance by increasing fat burning efficiency.
