eating over exercise

[PistolPete]

These diets are very similar to the South Beach Diet.  High protein and low to no carbs.  Be careful with these diets because your body needs carbs esp. if you are exercising.  The thought is that when your body doesn't have carbs it will simply burn fat for energy because it doesn't have the carbs to go to.  What really happens with these diets is you simply eat fewer calories because it's almost impossible to overeat on Protein.  Think about eating a grilled chicken slab.  You can only eat so much.  Now, think of eating a bag of chips.  They are carbs and you can eat them until the bag is gone.
