Have you ever looked into carb cycling? It is very effective.

I just read an article on it on bodybuilding.com...That looks kind of like its actually what I am already going to be doing in this plan, but Im not being too nitpicky about counting everything though, just guestimating I will have higher carbs on gain days, medium on maintain days, and low (rather than no) on lose days. I tried to do no carbs before and felt like CRAP, no energy, blurry vision, about passed out a couple of times, didnt agree with me at all. I'm just cycling around the days that I'm doing the yohimbine/coleus.

I agree very affective, and phsychologically its great to, because I can tell myself, ok only 3 days, then you can have a bowl of bran flakes! I can tell my sugar cravings are going down a little so thats good. I'm going to try and stick with healthy carbs.

I havent tried the rye bread, but I love the Franz whole wheat thin buns. No HFCS's. They are 100 calories and I have about 15 different sandwiches that I can make with them.

I did decide to go ahead and use my tube of Eveline volufiline despite it having parabens. I figured not to let it go to waste. The Zhi Mu should be here in the next few days so I will just start adding that to my PM cream and drop the eveline stuff. I bought powder that will need to steep for a few weeks, and I also bought some granules, and I think those may be ready to use if I just dissolve them and ad them to my PM cream, I hope so anyways!

Yesterday was day 1(of yohimine) and I was able to do the yohimbine/coleus topically both in the a.m and P.m without any side affect so far, and I slept great so yay!

I will report back when I see some progress either in the gain or loss area.
