Hi there Coachwife,

I agree with Peg that it's better, especially in the early stages, to choose one plan and stick to it.

As for supplements, IMHO the most important ones, apart from a multivite, are calcium, magnesium and potassium.
Calcium and magnesium are best taken in a 2cal:1mag ratio, to give you a total of 1000:500 or 1500:750 if you are post menopausal.

You'll need about 400mg potassium at first, decreasing to around 100mg after the first few weeks. You can buy tablets - I think they're 99mg - or do as I do and take the cheap option of using potassium salt. No Salt or Nu Salt are available in supermarkets, stored with the "normal" salt.

HTH
