Some stressed days I do and some stressed days I don't. An example of one of my days was 3 clif bars, 4 oatmeal cookies, 1/2 pint of ice cream with chocolate chips, white rice with veggies and sauce, granola bar, popcorn.

I do feel lighter though.…

And you have to take medical into account as well. Low carb may not be the wisest choice for someone with a gallbladder issue who has…
