Hi!

I just wanted to chime in on the Low Carb stuff. I used the Myoplex Low Carb Ready-to-Drink Dark Chocolate (yummy!) shakes twice a day, everyday except Sunday (free day), during Challenge 1. And I had a NitroTech Low Carb bar (by MuscleTech) each afternoon (excluding free days), all Challenge long. It was the only way that I was going to be able to work, take meetings, run errands and get in 6 meals per day, and a gram of protein per pound.

It also helped to keep the ready-to-drink shakes in my purse for baseball games, picnics, and even at night clubs. I'd just get a cup of ice and have a shake and not "cheat."

Sure, there are hidden carbs. I used the "Hidden Carb Counter" and kept track of them. I used these products all during the Challenge and I went from 47% bodyfat to 41%. So, it worked out fine.

Just my $.02. Good luck!
