Neither of these are sustainable long term! Diet and exercise programs like E2M don’t leave much flexibility for incorporating foods and exercises you enjoy. These all-or-nothing programs can be discouraging if you have a bad day or bad week. There are a lot of programs out there that have their participants take several different supplements throughout the day for nutrients and appetite suppression. Instead of taking supplements, we encourage our clients to get their nutrition from whole food sources like meat and vegetables, which have lots of fiber and protein to keep you full.   Hi!
