Sports on SCD

Background Story:

I’ve had UC since mid 2009, have been to hospital 3 times, and have not had much success with the various drugs I’ve been on. I’ve been on SCD for about 3 months (and for 6 months bfore that, but without doing the intro properly) and have found that to be a big help.

The Question:

I’ve got a week of really intense karate training coming up, and I’m wondering if anyone has any advice for how to do massive amounts of exercise on SCD – what and how much to eat. I’ve written a blog post explaining what my plans are so far (http://23daysandcounting.blogspot.com/2011/01/scd-and-intensive-exercise.html).

I’ve done a fair bit of reading on sports nutrition, but because it’s all based on a carb-eating diet, it’s hard to know if I’m on the right track, so if anyone has any feedback, I’d love to hear from you.
