hey I'm not doing the high carb for sports thing - that was probably

reason I dabbled in vegetarianism back in the day. IIRC high carb

diets decrease the bodies ability to oxidize fat, which literally

makes you addicted to carbs, particularly for exercise. Like most

people on this list I have a fairly high-fat diet. But during

extended exercise you can run out of muscle glycogen stores, but you

can't run out of fat. So I want something high carb to sip between

sets of squash.

Also, if anything with a more thorough bio background could comment,

what might be a biolological explanation for why us WAP-ers would

report needing less water and sweating less? Could it have something

to do with how the body burns glycogen compared to oxidizing fat?
