No man I dont.Sucks about the ibruprofen.I warn people alot that I see taking painkillers daily.Have a girl at my job that takes 6 extra strength tylenol everyday to ease her knee pains.She was amazed when I told her about it and said she will look into it.Never asked her if she stopped taking them.

I have been a "carbs are the devil" advocate for years .I am starting to believe though that if you weight train and do cardio weekly that they arent bad AT all.

What I am doing now seems to work.First off set a daily calorie intake you want to shoot for.

I set my protein at 150 gms for the day.This doesnt seem to affect me in a bad way so I stick with it even though IMO I could set it lower.

I set my fat intake to 60gms per day.I take 2tbsps olive oil and 2tbsps flax and the rest comes with the food.

I also eat a full bag of frozen veggies per day and then just fill in the rest of my calories with either rice/pasta/potatoes etc....

Good luck and keeep at it!
