Not necessarily....I used to run 30 miles a week, and the only times I felt I needed the extra carbs were the nights before my long runs (10 miles)...and by extra carbs, I usually aimed for 20grams (usually whole grain pasta or brown rice - small portion, but enough!). I was at my goal weight at that time and in maintenance.
Now, I exercise about 2 hours a day - 1 hour of that is walking - and I'm at 30 grams of carbs per day, and have plenty of energy. The other hour is spent doing weights or spinning.
I would drop the diet pills....Atkins is the only diet pill you need
