For heavy lifting, yes. For cardio, no. I eat low carb, and I do
reasonably intense cardio for about 45 minutes most days. Not a
problem. So long as you're aerobic, you can fuel with bodyfat. It's
just anaerobic that requires glucose.

But yeah, the more you exercise, the more carbohydrate you can tolerate.
Though 5 step aerobics classes per week didn't keep my own personal
body from gaining weight on a grain-and-bean heavy diet.
