Hi everyone.....i've been dieting for about 2 1/2 weeks....i've lost 6 pounds. I went from drinking about a 2 liter of pop everyday to now drinking none at all. I've also been eating very health. Does anyone have any advice on dietary supplements or vitamins? also...i'm looking for support so feel free to add me!

    Multi-vitamin (just one of those "one-a-day" things) and fish oil, maybe calcium and iron depending on what you need (?)

    The only supplements I'd suggest are a good multivitamin and an Omega 3 & 6 supplement (if you don't get enough from things like salmon, which not many people do). Apart from those, I don't think anything else is really necessary.

    I take a multi-vitamin daily and extra vitamin C...based on what my doctor has told me to do. I do not recommend taking any kind of supplements without prior doctor approval.

    Cutting out soda from your diet is a huge step to eating healthy, congrats! I too had to break the diet-soda-habit a couple of years ago and never looked back. I don't know much about supplements, other than to tell you to do your research and find something made specifically for women. Thank goodness for google :) I am new also, so please feel free to add me as a friend.

    Women often need extra iron and calcium (get the one with Vit.D)
    You look young enough so you might not need fishoil yet depending on family history.
    Well done and keep going:wink: all the very best
