Diet supplement or 'cold turkey'

I'm not taking any supplements. But I didn't go cold turkey either - and still don't. I eat better and more balanced, I eat less, and I exercise. And I splurge every once in a while so I don't feel deprived and go crazy.

The will definitely reduce your wallet. Do you not think if any of these supplements really worked there wouldn't be long lines to buy them and they'd be on the news?

Exactly! Plus my fear is they will do more harm to the body than good.

I drink tons of ice water. I add lemon slices & green tea too it sometimes or I also add strawberries, lime, cucumber or cinnamon too. I also add cayenne pepper to a lot of my meals.

High fiber intake makes all the difference in the world for me -- flaxseed, bran, lentils, beans, etc. -- works better than any supplement I've tried.

I take iron tablets along with vitimin c for better absorption (diagnosed with low iron levels), fish oil, magnesium (because I was cramping up a lot) and I use whey powder to supplement protein.

Are you worried about anything in particular? In theory you should be able to get everything you need from a balanced diet. If you are worried that something is lacking or feeling tired all the time head to your doctor to get a blood test and check up.
