Supplements 1 year agoHas anyone on the adv. plan done it without the recommended supplements? Just curious. I did buy the adv. plan kit and the detox kit. I start them on Monday. I am just not sure how long I can afford to spend about $330 on supplements.

In reply to: Lynn Kelly posted an update in the group Inflammation I think my cravings are becoming less imperative!!! I just seem to be a wee bit more ’settled.’ ViewI have been on 6 days. I agree with you. My cravings for sugar have already started to decrease. I am diabetic.

In reply to: Stephanie posted an update in the group Inflammation My fibromyalgia has been rather calm the last few days and that pleases me. I have cut back on milk and cheese. I love dairy, so this will be a challenge for me […] ViewHave you found yourself being hungry on the adv. plan? I am on day 6. I have been hungry at times. Maybe I am not eating enough. I have tried some of the recipes on week 1. Not to crazy about any of them so I eat what I can.

Congrats on your success so far. Some days are better than others. I am just trying to move forward one step at a time. I am not hungry if I stick to the plan. I really miss milk. I have switched to non fat organic and have cut back on the amount I drink at each time. I have cut out cheese mostly. Eating more nuts, veggies, and trying some…[Read more]

It was just to hard to locate stuff so I went to BN and bought a hard copy. I can mark it up. I love it.

Diabesity / Diabetes 1 year agoAre there any of you who are doing the plan without any of the supplements? i did buy them and am starting them on Monday, but I can’t afford them every month.
-
you can always do just basic supplementation or do some research online to find the supplements at a lower cost. I found most of the vitamins recommended that are good quality and a whole lot cheaper through vitacost. I absolutely have no extra income to afford $300 or more a month on supplements.
-
I have not yet bought any supplements from the Plan site. I have compared what Hyman recommends on the Basic Plan to what I already do, and it is very close. Also, I have some others that I take–considering that I have a heart problem which is artial fibrillation. I take nattkinase and CoQ. I plan to figure out what I am already spending and…[Read more]

I wish I could take all the supplements too and while I am not able to afford that yet, I take whatever I can afford to each month.

My liver enzymes were sky high and my cholesterol has shot up […] ViewI apologize for not stating enough information. I have only been on the advanced plan for 6 days. I have lost weight but my numbers have not really gone down much. I am hoping after a couple of weeks I will notice a big drop in numbers. I am not sure what is going on with the cholesterol, tryglicerides, and liver enzymes being so high so quickly.…[Read more]

In reply to: Paul posted an update Week 6 starts next week. When this ends I don’t plan on reintroducing anything. For me this has to last as a way of living life, not a 6 week fad diet. ViewI don’t think there is anything wrong with staying on it. It is a lifestyle change.

SInce we have to be on the advanced diet none of the recipes on the site or the […] ViewI have been on the advanced plan for 6 days. I have had shakes every day. I,too, have found many of the recipes that people on the advanced plan have to modify. I just leave off that ingredient. So far, I am not crazy about the recipes. Hopefully, they’ll get better. I have had diabetes for 8 years and high blood pressure for 12 years. This week,…[Read more]

Diabesity / Diabetes 1 year, 1 month agoHave any of you ever experienced very high liver enzymes? I got my blood work back today. My liver enzymes were sky high and my cholesterol has shot up from 145 to 330 in 9 weeks. I have to go for a liver ultrasound and see a gastro doctor. Help!

Wow!!!! That’s kind of scary. How long have you been on the program? Have you started eating or taking any new supplements? My SO has hepatitis C and there are certain supplements he can’t take, I think he has to avoid B vitamins in excess, and no acetaminophen…keep us posted, I’m curious to see what caused the spike in enzymes and…[Read more]

In reply to: hikerhigs posted an update I have been on the advanced program since Monday. I have been losing weight YAY, but my blood sugar isn’t changing much. Those of you with diabetes on the program, how long did it take […] ViewI started Monday, too. I have lost weight but my sugar is the same too. Blows me away. I am trying to not be discouraged so it helps that someone else is experiencing the same thing. I am just hoping by the end of a week’s time, it will drop a lot. Let’s keep working hard and support each other. Good luck.

Diabesity / Diabetes 1 year, 1 month agoWell, I am finishing up with Day 1. I am on the advanced plan. It has been a tough day. I have felt so hungry. I am sure I am suffering from caffeine and sugar withdrawals. I feel basically icky. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

Every day you will feel better. It’s hard to get off the caffeine and sugar, but it’s so worth it! After my prep week, my doctor took me off my insulin as I no longer needed it. When I am tempted to eat something I know is poison for my body, I tell myself I can eat that and go back on my insulin, or stay off the insulin. I always choose no…[Read more]

I have done the plan with less than the recommended supplements. I did order the Wellness Essentials. I was already taking 5 of the recommended supplements.I have found the PGX and alpha lipoic acid, Omega 3s coq 10, and flaxseed- borage seed oils helpful as well as Vitamin d3.
We all can do only so much. Please do the best that you can. I think…[Read more]
