Hi everybody! This is the first time that I have posted although I have been lurking for a few days now. I started the Atkins Diet about 4 days ago without reading the book first. I do know the basic tenants and have talked to others that are LCing for guidance. Anywho, I am really wondering what supplements I should be taking if any. I currently take a multivitamin and chromium piccolinate. I have a slow metabolism and I also take Wellbutrin if that matters any.

Thanks in advance!

Heres a link to a thread basically asking this same question..link

You deffinetly need a a Calcium, Pottasium supplement, ya get leg cramps without them.

Oh, and I don't know about Wellbutrin, but alot of people take GreenTea to speed up their metabolism...See this thread

k hope that helps

Nora,

Its great that you already have a support system in your friends who are willing to help guide you - but you really should borrow and Atkins book from one of them, the library or get your own. There are some things in there that would definately help you out an clear things up. He offers quite a bit of information in his book that most people don't pay attention to (not for them) or just assume as a given - so when talking to others, they just don't give a complete picture.

Have fun reading!
