Look for a multivitamin that has close to 100 percent of the daily value for most of the “big” nutrients:
vitamins A, C, E, D, and folic acid along with the minerals iron, zinc, copper, and manganese. A good
supplement will also have vitamin K, selenium, magnesium, chromium, and some calcium (about 150
mg). Pass on those supplements that have lots of extraneous additives like green tea, borage, amino acids,
and digestive enzymes. Continue reading →

you have the choice of continuing to lose weight or to maintain your weight. There
is a subtle difference between the two, and the key is your use of the hunger scale. If you want to continue to achieve a calorie deficit to shed those last few pounds, use the rule you used in Phase Two to determine when you should cease eating: put your fork down when you hit a 5 on the hunger scale.
