I find that some carbs pre-WO do allow you to be more intense during your workout. I found that when I dropped pre-WO carbs, I ended up with too little energy to really stimulate any growth (and I truly believe that you CAN have muscular growth when cutting if your diet is right, unless you're really huge). That said, if you can get a good workout without carbs pre-WO go for it, as I'm sure there are bodyfat benefits to it!

Try this: Up your protein considerably, cut your carbs out in the afternoon (unless that's when you train), and do very low intensity cardio every day. That's what allowed me to go from a 2000 calorie metabolism to a 4000 calorie metabolism without much difference in mass.
