Just because I like to disrupt threads I'll go ahead and get this one.
Talo, I think you should take another look at your BCAA's. BCAA's are highly insulinogenic so with your low carb dieting habits it may be a bit of a wrench in the gears.
Emma-leigh did an interview with Jamie Hale over at max condition. I copied out the part about BCAA's but there's a link for the full article as well.
Here is the relevant exerpt (and the link to the full article below)

Highly insulinogenic (one of the reasons that milk is highly insulinogenic) yet people who are on ‘low glycaemic / ‘low carb’ diets (to decrease insulin levels) happily suck down scoopfuls of this over a given day or before ‘fasted cardio’ not even realizing it gives them a significant hit of calories, let alone causes a consistently elevated insulin level.
