Hi.

I'm hoping I can get some advice from the serious exercisers out there.

Here is my situation:

I'm currently in induction, and I plan to return to my sport (roller derby) later this month after a 2 month break. Roller derby practices are long (2 hours plus) and very intense. Pre LC - I often found myself with deep belly hunger after practice.

I've been reading some of my books on sports conditioning and nutrition (solid stuff written by medical professionals that I trust) and they all say the same thing - Low Carb is good for weight loss and wellness, but not for endurance athletes because you need some carbs to fuel your movement.

I see my options as:

1) Maintain low carb and dive back into practice. (I'm worried I'll "crash" from a lack of fuel)
2) Hold off returning to my sport until I am further into maintanence (this would be a real bummer!)
3) Eat a very small amount of complex carbs prior to practices only, then maintain LC otherwise. (I'm worried I'll throw myself out of ketosis)

Appreciate your thoughts on this. I estimate I have 2-3 months left on inducation before I move into OWL.
