Dr Simeons noted that with fat resorption, other available vitamins and minerals are recycled. However in our modern day world with its toxic challenges and soil depletion, we recommend essential support such as digestive enzymes, probiotics, B group vitamins and B12, amongst some others. These assist your digestion and metabolism during the program. Liver support will be important in some cases.

Note that low quality vitamins may interfere with the rate of weight loss, especially synthetic nutrients or if they contain hidden sugars or oils.

I have such dry skin, what do you recommend during phase 2 of the hCG Diet Australia?
This is common in the early stages of phase 2. Use Jojoba Oil and If your skin is still excessively dry, organic coconut oil may improve the condition. Be very alert to any impact on the rate of weight loss. Coconut oil is thermogenic, increasing fat burning potential, and so is usually appropriate. During the dietary system, you eliminate the intake of all oils and fats. Thus, your body will be scavenging for them everywhere, including those entering through the skin. You want your body to be burning up your fat reserves, so anything that supplies it with an alternative fuel supply must be stopped. There are numerous companies now manufacturing products that are promoted as oil free, but challenge the label and the sales representative to ensure that the product is truthfully promoted and is absolutely oil free.
