is eating carbs okay before bed, with Ala?

not a whole lot...... under 50g's?

Yes, so long as your not exceeding your daily caloric intake. What it boils down to is...if you have a need for nutrients, in this case carbohydrate, then your body will use it....no matter what time of day(or night). If you have met your body's nutrient needs for the day(caloric needs) then excess will be either stored as fat or the body will activate NEAT (non exercise activity thermogenesis) and simply "waste" those calories by oxidizing them.

so far, it looks ok!

I take 2 caps for my last meal, it's help put me to sleep as well!

That's one side I'm noticing on ALA too. I normally have trouble sleeping... since I started taking ALA I sleep easy and heavy. It's a great side.

[aky]

[papapump25]

I have noticed that my sleep is deeper on ALA also and usually when on sleep is terrible but not this cycle .
