Re: need advice

The first thing is to ask for the gb, because each person is different, so each one should ask for personal medical guidance in order to stay healthy during the diet. Have a nice day, and keep on! greetings xoxo!

Hiya and welcome.
I'm not expert at all and have hever heard of rhodiola rosea, but rice powder in the ingredients rings loud bells of alarm for me.
Is there any other substitute for the rhodiola?

Re: need advice

You're wise to be cautious... particularly during the induction period. You'll probably find that when you start to lose weight on Atkins, that in itself will be a powerful anti-depressant!
