Guest guest Posted August 19, 1999 Report Share Posted August 19, 1999 Zena, I had to go get my pill bottles but, I take 4 dieters advantage, 6 Basic #3, and I take 2 essential oils. I don't take the multi vitamin. The chromium is in the first 2 I mentioned. it is a total of 500 mgs for all of it. You can also get the supplement and take more. I think you can take up to 1000 or 1200 MGs, but check with a professional to make sure cause I could be way off on the numbers.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 1999 Report Share Posted August 19, 1999 Zena, I wanted to mention that my Dr put me on this WOL also!! I am off all meds!! I only took Glucophage (spell) 3 times a day (when I would remember to take it, I was bad!!) I feel so much better and now when I check my sugars they are never high!! my range is about 80-110!!! It feels wonderful and I hope it stays forever. Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 1999 Report Share Posted August 20, 1999 Essential oils are Flaxseed oil, Borage seed oil, fish oil there is also vitamin E and other things in it too. I am not sure what all they do. Like I said before all this vitamin stuff just confuses me. I went to the Atkins web site and bought the package that they suggest you buy, it was 60.00 and I got 2 dieters Advantage, 1 essential oils, and 1 Basic #3, plus there was some kind of special going on where I also got free a bottle of free ketone sticks and free Stevia, which is the herbal sweetner. I think it was called the dieters pak, or something like that. I thought it was a pretty good deal. Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 1999 Report Share Posted August 20, 1999 Zena, You need to exercise with the diabetes. walking for 20 mins can bring down a high sugar and it is really good for your circulatory system. Try it. I walk an hour a day if I have time. Today I walked for 45 mins, tomorrow I am going to make up that 15 mins!! Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 1999 Report Share Posted August 20, 1999 So Penny which one, the Multivitamin or the Basic #3? plus the Dieters' Advantage. I am a diabetic also. Thanks to this diet the Doctor keeps lowering my meds. One of these days I hope to be just diet and exercise.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 1999 Report Share Posted August 20, 1999 Hey, thanks. I just don't want to overdose on vitamins, but I do want to lose weight and have energy instead of barely making it anywhere. I like having umpf. lol I just wish weight loss could be instant. It always feels that way when you put it on. :-) Zena 251/232.5/140?

Guest guest Posted August 20, 1999 Report Share Posted August 20, 1999 Maybe this is dumb, but, are the essential oils really that important to take?

Guest guest Posted August 20, 1999 Report Share Posted August 20, 1999 Great for you! You are a success story for me to look up to. I was on Amaryl 4 mg 2 x a day and glucophage 500 mg. 2 x a day. I am now on Amaryl 2 mg once a day and glucophage 500 mg. once a day. I was diagnosed the last Tuesday of March 1999. I was also taking inderal lx 120 mg 2 x a day, now I am at 80 mg. 2 x a day. Before I was diagnosed I had some real terrible migraines and was taking medicine for that also. Now I don't have to take meds. for that. The Doctor wants me to exercise, but I haven't started yet. I'm afraid I will gain weight. I love this woe. The Doctor put me on this diet also. My sugars are from 70 - 113.
