In reply to: Alexandra Roznovsky posted an update in the group Supplements Hi everyone. I started taking the supplements for the Advanced plan today, and have had a stomach ache the whole day. it’s mostly a gassy stomach ache, […] ViewWhen I began my suppliments I started them slowly and always take them with food as your eating a meal. Sometimes if I’m in a hurry and take a bunch at the same time, I will get that same feeling. Also I try to buy my suppliments with an Enteric coating so they don’t bother my stomach. Try freezing your fish oil suppliments. They won’t thaw…[Read more]

It’s good you know what works for you! That kind of awareness will take you far. You may find that changes as you move through the program or you may not. Either way, whatever makes you stick to this plan is ultimately the best choice!

Hi, Elaine,
Great job with the weight loss! I never worry about losing weight too fast because it can’t come off fast enough, but seriously, I know what you mean.
