I'llsay this.Ignore the book called body for life.And please ignore anyone who tells you that you cannot live without carbs.You body makes glucose from other macro nutrients through gluco neogenisis.Low carb diets work very well and as a weight lifter is what I do during a cutting phase.Keep the protein intake hiogh.Your body can make the glucose and glutamic acid that your brain needs.

You don't want to hear this, I know, but 20% of your carbs go to support your brain....
Something to think about.

Nothing is effective if you dont spend more calories then you take in.

increase your protein, decrease carbs, lots of water and exercise so the protein will turn fat to fuel......
