Digestive enzymes? Is it better to have this with water or a pill form? Is it with every meal?

I use Bare esentuals for makeup. It is a mineral makeup? Is this ok? It is a powder base?

The tips say take a colon cleanse daily? I have this but in pill form? Is that alright and do I take it in the morning?

It also says to take coral calcium. Do I take this in the morning?

What is L-carnite?

Breakfast is this just tea or coffee and then mid morning snack? I am not sure.

Thank you for any of your help!

Digestive enzymes? Is it better to have this with water or a pill form? Is it with every meal?   I use them all the time I eat. Specially out. The different kinds and brands have different instructions. Usually you take them a few minutes before the meal. So, I have them after ordering at a restaurant so when the food comes there have been at least 5 mins. With a glass of water. You are not to take this while on the injections.

I use Bare esentuals for makeup. It is a mineral makeup? Is this ok? It is a powder base?  I haven't used makeup at all during the hcg. Not even lipstick. So I don't know. How about calling the maker and ask them for a full list of ingredients. They can mail that.

The tips say take a colon cleanse daily? I have this but in pill form? Is that alright and do I take it in the morning? I did Dr. Natura's Colon Cleanse. I followed the instructions for it. You are not to take this during HCG but before or after.

It also says to take coral calcium. Do I take this in the morning? I would take it in the morning. I would take it before breakfast with the enzymes.

What is L-carnite? It helps in the consumption and disposal of fat in the body because it is responsible for the transport of fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria. It is often sold as a nutritional supplement. (that is from Wikipedia) You are not to take this during the hcg but after.

Breakfast is this just tea or coffee and then mid morning snack? I am not sure.
Breakfast is the first thing you have when you wake up. I used to have a fruit in the morning and none with lunch it worked just fine, but when I had only black coffee (very light, otherwise imposible) it worked even better.

Thank you for any of your help!
 You are welcome, good luck!

Oh NOOO!

I had no idea. I thought that because the packet we got said to take this stuff and eat with it it meant while on HCG. Today is my first diet day and I took coral calcium, and colon cleanse? Is this going to screw me up!?!?



   Thank you again for the info. I should have asked the question sooner.

It could affect it. I don't know for sure. But in my case the most minimum thing I've done has affected it. The book says not to take any medications. You cannot take absolutelly nothing else. 

Good thing, you are just one day into it!

I think that enzymes and colon cleanse fiber during injections are critical in aiding digestion and preventing constipation. I don’t think that the l-carnite  or coral calcium would hurt you either during injections—in fact I can’t do without taking my own supplements --ever –I get sick in 3 days from not taking supplements. That is just me though—every single person is different. This is a reason that ordering from this site has it's advantages. The list of tips you have like the enzymes, fiber and calcium are some tried and true tricks used by professionals who have been administering the protocol for years.

The majority of people on HCG are using Bare Minerals since it is oil free. Lipstick, mascara and eyeliner are fine too. When on injections, in the morning I usually have about 4 cups of tea, my colon cleanse fiber (a pill is fine) powder mixed with water (I use Super Seed beyond Fiber) chased with another glass of water and an apple or half a grapefruit. Of course I weigh everything and enter it into my calorie counter. Kathy

P.S. One really great way to find out what others on this forum have done is to use the search feature at the upper right of this forum. Enter the key word like "fiber" or "bare minerals" and you can go to all of the threads containing that info.
