Great question! I, too, do not take everything that the Eade's recommend. I think I come fairly close, though. When I first began LC and was doing Atkins, I became supplement obsessed. I was taking everything, chromium, carnitine, CoQ10, just to name a few. It put a hole in my pocketbook and didn't have any positive effect on my weightloss. I cut way back last year, and lost all of my weight while just taking Twinlab Daily One Multi w/o Iron, a Cal/Mg/Zn pill, and about 2g of Vitamin C. I haven't changed my regimin since. I also take my daily birth control pill (Loestrin) so I actually have a period. I had stopped taking one a couple years ago and went for 7 months without having a period, and only by taking pill was able to get going again. I also take synthroid, the lowest dose, for my underactive thyroid. I take it in the morning, just after eating breakfast, which is not advised. I also do not swallow it. I put it under my tongue and let it dissolve. I think that's why it's okay that I take it with food, b/c I have it dissolve directly into the bloodstream. Again, I started doing this around the time I started to lose weight, so it's also something I won't change now
