I am starting to do research in order to start a low carb (under 20 grams/day, 1600-2000 calories a day) program. I've been doing some readings in the forum and I am curious about exercising during the first few weeks of low carb. Is this a good idea or a bad idea?

I would probably be doing 30 minutes of cardio 3 times a week to start and a majority of that would be on an incline bike and I would do it steady state, trying to keep my hr around 120 ish most of the time.

More importantly I would like to start a lifting program. I would be doing probably 4 days of weight training per week, and I would be lifting heavy (what I mean by that is pushing myself and lifting as much as I am able to lift).

I guess my concern is that of having enough energy to workout. I know the first few days are rough and I don't plan on going to the gym then. But after that I'm wondering if being on a low carb diet you can do just as much at the gym as you could on a meal plan with unrestricted carbs. Are there any supplements I'll need being low carb? And also curious about a good postworkout recovery snack/meal.

Any advice appreciated, thank you!
