Supplements, etc.

I think I forgot to post about the supplements that are offered on the Medi Weight Loss program.  Every day I take one mega Vitamin (but it does not contain iron, i noticed), 3 Fat Burners, 2 Calcium Pills, and 3 doses of Prescription appetite suppressants.   I forget the name of them and since it is 6 am I am too lazy to go look it up.  I shall go look it up later.  They are in the amphetamine class, however.  I also take Omega 3's- not required but suggested by my nutritionist.  She stated that not only are they good for brain function, but that some people on a very low calorie diet can lose some hair, and the Omega 3's would help prevent that.  I was sold.  Medi sells them for less than 15.00 per bottle (a month's supply).  They are enteric coated, but occasionally I notice a fishy taste if I burp later in the day.  ew.



I was provided with all of the supplements in a bag, with a water bottle (which is a very good one) when I came for my first visit.  After these run out I have to buy them myself.  They also give you a journal to keep track of your daily intake of protein and other foods, which I believe is very important.  It helps keep me on track and enabled me to go back and see what I did wrong this last week. 


I also get a B-12 shot an a B=6 shot every weekly visit/weigh-in, and go back for a second B-12 shot 48 hours later (Tuesday afternoon and then Friday early morning).  This helps with my energy level quite a bit.  I thought I'd explain this part of the diet beause it is an important part of the program in addition to the diet itself.


Hope everyone has a great week!  Please feel free to ask any questions.
