Just finished Grant’s book. Makes a lot of since, since I’ve cut out many carbs as of late. I did, however eat lots of fruit and found it just made me more hungry so I cut most of that out and found it helped. The book has given some new guidelines for me to try. It seems to me that it’s

Thanks for the other option, Evan. I'll keep that in mind for next time. For now I've ordered yellow Newbaum's and will be going with amber shellac. I rode a bit with a guy on a recent 100k and he had that combination and it gave a rich brownish color. Hopefully mine comes out similar!
