I don't really do P.M.'s but regarding this one from you
[quote p.m.] 'essential' supplements?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've read that taking these following supplements are essential while on this type of diet; 6 to 8 meals a day (trying to loose body fat%).
1. Glutamine (10-15 grams)
2. Multivitamin (1-2 a day)
3. Vitamin C (3 grams a day)
4. chromium
5. Flax seed oil or sufflower oil
Would you agree?
[end ]
I want to say no. I'm not real big on potential mineral toxicity myself and several sources say that chromium is best addressed via intake of meats and cheeses and grains and so on anyway.
For my own carb metabolism I usually just try to make sure if I'm doing one to get a vitamin B hit in sometime soonish or so thereafter...and maybe if I'm in a serious mood about it do a few good shots of lemon juice to clean up the extra radicals it pollutes my system with...co-incidently aiding the lipid metabolism ( re- blood fats) that chromium as a B.B. supplement is supposed to do.
I am a huuge fan of vitamin c and my general rule with thaat is 1 glass with a multi vit on rising pre-coffee ( about tanin and iron absorption inhibition and c for iron uptake = extra oxygen retantion to and through cells through the day) and then extra through day on top of that again if smoking heavily or eating anything with iron...and maybe during a heavy cardio sesh sometimes for the potassium boost or I feel like my spleen needs it or I just want the extra potassium for whatever reason.
Flax seed oil I dO'nt do because good fat or bad, it still makes you're butt jiggle and I look after my skin and bowels with extra fruits most of time and only reeally do a fat occassionally or in a burst to make sure I get a period or to cycle in a cell communication friction change. Change is as good as a holiday apparently. For cell communication without it I do seaweed or kelp products and take care of my natural mineral salt intake .
Glutamine yay for and a multi vitamin I think every adult should have regardless.
i still don't know what you're eating and doing exactly, but I wiill tell you that since high carbs supress your bodies natural L-glutamine and L-argine production for growth repair hormone production for muscle density retention and whatever else it does besides help build you your muscles ( and why they're so popular as steroids) that glutamine as supplement amino nOt yet in it's basic form still leaving room for some protective metabolic processes to go on is not a bad idea.
Does the body naturally produce L-arginine ? - Google Search

Hope that helps.
