Having attended many conferences myself over the years, the one thing that never changes is the energy, passion, and overall infectious enthusiasm that is so abundant in our industry. It’s a constant reminder to me about why we do what we do, why it’s such an awesome industry to work in, and exciting to be a part of.

Make the most of FitEx 2012 – attend the pre-conference events, network at the social events, take part in the master workshops, and above all continue to grow, learn and lead the industry!

Carbohydrate conundrum - the place of ‘carbs’ in the modern dietDr Caryn Zinn (pg 29) – Saturday 3.45pmLevel: Low Experience: Low In recent times, carbohydrate has become a hotly debated nutrient, particularly in relation to optimal nutrition and weight control.

Whether a low-carb regime is sustainable or even suitable for optimal health and weight control, and whether or not its application extends to enhancing sports performance remains to be seen. If you’re curious as to where low-carb evidence and practice meet, come along to this session to hear current views on the carbohydrate conundrum.LEARNINGOUTCOMES:• Exploretheplaceofcarbohydrateinthemoderndiet.• Developanappreciationofthebalancebetweenevidence
