Low carb diet

[jon671]

Okay so I am gonna do no carb for about a month or two and then slowly increase carbs back to current level. I take muscle milk lite(until starting diet), multivitamin, fish oil, coconut oil, zma and bromocriptine to lower my prolactin. I am thinking about adding a calcium supplement. My question is this with low to no carbs what else should I do since there will be less calcium, no sugar, more fat........in my diet. Is the fish oil enough to keep cholesterol in check? I have low testosterone, but I think that it would be better to do this and lose weight.

Sorry I posted twice

I'm not sure if Bromo plus a low carb diet would be the best choice. I know that it can cause hypogycemia so combining it with a no carb diet might be problematic. I haven't used it before so I don't have a definative answer for you. Just feel it out and if you get too hypo, then stop the bromo. You could always add P-5-P and/or mucana but it probably won't be as effective at reducing prolactin. Perhaps some with a little more experience with bromo could chime in.

take it easy there, hotrod. dude's only got a slight problem here. running no carb for that long will be problematic, though.

i'd say that you do what is called "carb cycling." one high day, next mid day, next low day, followed by one/two no days. and then repeat. i've never used this method, but i can bet it works, as i've seen people use it with results.

Do a search on the Anabolic Diet. It may be a better fit for you.

As far as cholesterol, mine got better on the AD, which is low carb, high fat. I think the link between sat fat and cholesterol may be a myth, at least for me.

I think I might try the carb cycling or maybe atkins. Last time I started atkins and then just kept in ketosis with no carbs. I lost 75 pounds and my muscles got bigger. Thanks

Does anyone have any thoughts on the fact that I take bromo and want to do low carb?

Go ahead and add some calcium citrate, about 1000mg will be fine.

that's fine with the whey, multi, etc.... don't take calcium 1-2 hours before or 1-2 hours after ZMA, Calcium inhibits the absorption of zinc.

Cholesterol is not gonna be an issue, it actually improves for most people on a low carb diet.

Dead on. That's the biggest problem with combining it with a low carb diet. Thats pretty much all i've seem written about use while on a low carb diet. Best way to combat that would be to increase carb intake through the day and partition usage during times around blood sugar drops.
