My question is about having a very active lifestyle and eating within SBD. I run nearly every day, and am finding it quite hard to have enough energy during some of my workouts. I generally run 3-7 miles/day, 5-6 days a week. Sometimes a long run of 13 mi is thrown in. My legs feel dead without their normal glycogen stores!!

While I am extremely happy that I am finally over this plateau, I'm wondering about adding in more than the suggested carbs. I would love to still lose these last 10, and I realize that doing so may hamper my success.... Does anyone have suggestions?
