Despite eating the carbs the low calorie element drops your BS regardless. How many is it per shake, 30g? So probably still only 100 a day?The advantage of the shakes is that they're nutritionally complete. Surely if you're cutting down to 800 a day you have to ensure that you are getting enough of what your body needs - if you're using a low carb option (e.g. Atkins shakes) then you will have to make sure you're getting enough protein elsewhere, unless you can find a shake that substitutes carbs for protein.I'm sure other people have done similar things though so totally up to you. I'm planning a run at ND in the new year, and for me even though it seems counter-intuitive to be taking in carbs I'm going to replicate their methods as closely as I can.Edit: don't mean to be discouraging by the way!
