Hi all.
Im just wondering, has anyone every tried taking GABA powder and doing Atkins at the same time? I heard GABA boosts up your metabolism, produces weight loss and all the good stuff that it does to the neurotransmitters. And I was thinking about trying it with Atkins.
Has anyone ever tried taking GABA and lost weight with Atkins?

I have GABA and have used it for it's calming influence during high stress moments. I didn't lose weight, but I'm on a medication that is packing the pounds on me right now (backing off it :thdown: ). I'd never heard it's good for weight loss but if you're plateaued due to high cortisol levels, it makes sense to me. I never took it continuously.

Im not sure if I platuead because of cotrisol or what not...But I know I stopped losing weight. I am on my 4th week of atkins, and right now (2 days ago) I started my low carb shake diet for a week. I was thinking about taking the GABA with the shakes just to make sure that I get off my stall. And I heard GABA doesnt taste like anything, so taking it with the shakes would be good.
