i also agree you should only take the r-ala on carb ups. it's been recommended to take 100mg r-ala per 30g of carbs. you should probably take the r-ala when you have that skim milk but any other time when it's trace carbs you don't need it
check out your local supermarket for the brand walden farms, they have lots of different sauces and dressings, even calorie free maple syrup and chocolate
