Thanks Blue. This is very good. Unfortunately, it applies more to self 2 years ago than self now. As I am approaching my target weight, and desiring to continue to increase strength and musculature, I'm just not sure how to adapt Atkins for myself. Trial and error would be almost impossible to gather meaningful results.

I am considering eating a high carb protein bar (Detour bar) about 1/2 hour before each workout. I used to eat these frequently, and I gained significant strength and mass while eating them. It is packed with protein 30g, and carbs, ~50g. I think I would burn it up during the workout, and wonder if this would totally screw up my ketosis. Since I work out often (3-4 times a week), I'd be eating these quite a lot.

Right now, I am more interested in slimming down than growing big. I may hold off any changes until the fall, and continue to focus on increasing aerobics to burn fat, and lifting as heavy as I can to avoid losses.
