I know the supplements help you to speed up your metabolism but I was wondering how important is it? Can I succeed in this program without the supplements? Are any of you not using the supplements and if not how are the results?

Thanks

Hi Tasha,

I saw your comment in the Weight Loss Tools area, but this is a better place to talk anyway.

I personally think supplements are over rated if you are eating healthy and balanced diet.

What is your current eating habits like? Do you eat 3 meals a day with 2 small snacks? Give us an idea of your current regimen and the supplements question can be better answered from that.

I am eating 5xs daily. Its a little harder for me to do on the weekend because I get up later than I do during the week. I usually start eating about 6:45am and stop before 8pm. I also have been adding more fruits and veggies which is something I didn't do before.

Breakfast - oatmeal and fruit
Snack - granola bar
lunch - turkey sandwich on whole wheat and chips (I know they have no nutritional value, but they are the 100 calorie pack)
Snack - apples or some other fruit
dinner - lean meat, veggies

I drink mostly water throughout the day, every now and then I drink a little juice.

Thanks for the help!!

I've been drinking vitamin water (from glaceau). Is it helping me? I really don't know. I can tell you I do feel like I'm recovering better. I drink the "Revive" flavor after I do the Kempo work out.

I would consider a good multi-vitamin as it can't hurt but do you need all the extra supplements? I doubt it.

How is your energy and overall feelings? If positive then you are doing fine without it!

My energy level is great. I can make it thru all the workouts. Thanks for the input. I will look into getting a good multi vitamin. Thanks
