  • Hey, I thought I'd post parts of my response to in a different thread awhile ago as it seems to apply (and I also agree with the other posters): If you are going to do low carb- fats are your friend! Doing "low carb" properly means that you will be obtaining the majority of your nutrients from fat (healthy oils, nuts,…

  • adding in healthy fats that are dense in calories are a good way to bump your calories up...

  • I take it very occasionally to help me sleep after a night shift or if I know I'll be too wired to sleep right away.. I've found it works well with no side effects that I've noticed so far (that said I"ll pay more attention to my dreams now haha)

  • Hi there, You might have better luck with your question on the low carber group forum as I'm sure many members there watch both carbs and their calories (at least I do in a general sense- though I'm more of a Primal Eater)... I don't care to debate the merits of low carb on this thread but as someone with a working…
