Thanks a bunch! Been researching alternatives for hours  |
Hi Brianna, it just depends on what you want. The Hoodia will help with hunger, the cayenne is supposed to help burn an extra 50 cal/day as well as other benefits, the gymnema (I think is supposed to help with blood sugar control - but it's been a while since I've read about this one) and I'm not sure about the garcinia cambogia. You should do a little research about what each of these is supposed to do and then decide if you want to take them. Personally, I just take a Hoodia supp because I'm not worried about missing those other ingredients (and I think the cayenne gave me heartburn). Good luck.
BTW, I'm sorry to hear that your night didn't turn out so well and that you had a cheat. I think it's great that you came to us right away and are back on track. That's all you can do when that happens. I'm reading a book right now that I think is going to help - I've been holding off recommending it on this board because I'm only on Ch. 4 but you might want to check it out - it's called
Stop Cheating on Your Low Carb Diet. I'm not sure if the MRC plan is considered a low carb diet (like Atkins), but it's definitely 'lower' carb. Anyway, like I said, I'm not sure if I'm totally going to recommend it, but I like what it has to say so far (except for the way he tries to tie it into the evolution theory), and think it will have good strategies for staying on program.
Hugs,

Time to Move On to VII!
) Yesterday, I lost another 1 1/2 pounds. We got back on the enhancer at the end of November and it's definitely helping! They were nice enough to give us an extra small bottle so we'd have about a month supply each between DH and me. Only 15 more pounds to goal! My program end date is officially 12/31, but they are having the extension weeks if you lose weight or buy product the day after Christmas, so I'll probably go in to extend some to be on the safe side. Another awesome thing...We're going to Cancun on the 12th of January. I'm so excited! We're doing the all-inclusive deal. We did it for our Honeymoon and loved it! It's the same chain of hotels, so should be awesome! Also, we got free golf! Going to have to get the golf clubs back from the mother in law so we can golf! Anyway, hope everyone is doing well and I'll probably post some more after I read everyone's posts!
Congratulations on your loss, signing the 30lb board and being so close to goal! Nice job!!!!!
