Cutting carbs completely may be hurting gym recovery and performance
Original: Why cutting carbs completely might be backfiring on your recovery - and killing your gym performance
A Men's Fitness article warns that eliminating carbohydrates entirely can undermine recovery and reduce workout performance. It argues that low or zero-carb diets leave muscles without adequate glycogen, slowing recovery between sessions and limiting strength and endurance in the gym. The piece adds to ongoing debate about how extreme low-carb approaches fit with serious training, suggesting active people may need some carbs to perform at their best.
Why now: Carb restriction remains a popular dieting trend, and the claim that it harms athletic performance challenges that advice.
