To anyone that drinks Labrada Low Carb Lean Body...

[SAF]

First of all, I must say that this stuff taste amazing! A tad on the expensize side, but my friends who run my gym pick them up for me at cost, so I can get a 42 pack of Lean Body for $60. Not bad. I'm curious to know how many packets you guys mix at once. I find myself mixing 1 1/2 packets per shake because 1 packet doesn't seem like much. Each packet has 12g of carbs, and sometimes I like to have 1 1/2 packets immediately before bed. Do you think having a small amount of carbs (18g to be exact) from this shake at such a late time in the day would cause problems with my competition diet? What's the worst that can happen? I wake up in the morning and perform about 1 hour of cardio on the cross trainer anyway.

Their protein bars are really fucking good. Actually, so are the Nitro-Tech ones. They taste better than chocolate bars.

Yeah but I cant eat their protein bars because they contain glycerine, or at least some type of sugar, and that's a no-no for me right now at 15 days out.

WHAT?

You'll down 18grams of mostly maltodextrin before bed and you're wprried about some glycerine? It doesn't have a huge ffect on blood sugar as where maltodextrin's GI is 100%. Food for thought my friend.

At 15 days out sure, staying away is best, but glycerine doesn't create the insulin spike that most sugars do. Glycerine is a carb as well if I'm not mistaken and there are only about 6g or so of carbs total in one of those things - well, the Nitro-Tech ones anyway.
Good luck with your show BTW. Stats?
