If your diet fails to provide an adequate amount of carbohydrates, energy supplies remain limited, the risk of malnutrition will be increased, & long duration aerobic exercise such as jogging & running will be impossible to maintain.
Although many deprive themselves of carbs in the hope of losing weight, exercising half heartedly as a result of a lack of energy won't provide the results you're striving for, as you will feel tired, weak & incapable of achieving optimum performance.
As someone who has drastically reduced their carbohydrate intake to the point of being anorexic, I cannot stress enough how vital carbohydrates are for adequate health, & fitness fuel. They are NOT the enemy. In fact, this particular nutrient is found in everything from rice & pasta, to fruit & vegetables, so unless you are going to survive on air & increase your risk of developing numerous health concerns, please take a step back & listen to your body as opposed to the image obsessed media bursting with ridiculous fad diets.
Tip of the day: A third of your daily food intake should be made up of starchy carbohydrates, & another third made up of fruit & vege. For healthier alternatives, opt for wholegrains such as brown rice & wholemeal bread, & consume at least 5 portions of fresh fruit & vege a day.
