Hey there OP. I, too, started just restricting calories and exercising. But, like you mentioned, I didn't really feel fulfilled. In the past month, I've been limiting my net carbs to 5%, protein to 35%, and healthy fats to 65% of my daily calorie goals. So I know it seems counter intuitive, but I'm basically eating veggies…

Yes, I was also surprised at how many posters dismissed my question because they assumed in mean "crazy diet fads" or "diet pills." As for a little of my background, I was a store manager at GNC for 3 or so years and I loved that job. I learned so much about vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients. Since then I had…

I can only imagine how smelly a Green Tea with Garlic and Cinnamon would be! LIke you said, capsules are probably the way to go with those.

Thanks for some self-righteous and snarky replies. Sheesh. : P Obviously, I'm doing fine so far, having lost 17 lbs just using my willpower. I was only curious to see if others every use meal replacements shakes, protein or fiber powders, vitamins, or things like that. I was looking for knowledge, not attitude.

Yeah looking back at my diary, I can see the extra sodium, and all the beer we drank over the weekend certainly didn't help! Thanks for a quick response everyone! I was pretty down in the dumps about it this morning.

Ok, now that you guys mention it, my hands and feet are extra swollen... That makes some sense. I was just looking at the numbers on the scale and my measurements, and thinking, "This does Not Make Sense!" hahaha So lots of extra water drinking should flush out that sodium that causes bloating, right? :)
