Has anyone tried adding additional supplements to their IP diet? Before IP, I was taking a tsp of L Carnatine with every meal. I believe it helped me to lose weight. I was thinking about taking it again, but don't want to hinder my IP process. Any advice on this?

See my post under the daily chat....I will post the recommendations here later.

Here is the link to the supplements list that Dr. Hyman recommended in Blood Sugar Solutions which was just published (and of course he is selling packages of vitamins!) and focuses on weight loss.

What is good about the link below is that it tells you what he is recommending, the dosage, and what each is supposed to do. (there are 7 categories of supplements...see all 7 for the complete list).

Note that he is selling Pure Encapsulations and Metagenics....you can probably get those online elsewhere for cheaper.

Here is a link to his overview on why supplements are important:

Here is a link to the book...excellent reading and very informative. Review counts are low because it was just released.

Editing to add: Actually, his prices appear to be competitive. But you can get cheaper prices if you go with a lesser known brand. (Pure is a top rated supplement brand)
