If you’ve had blood work done and a doctor has indicated that you are deficient, then 5000 I.U. would be fine. In fact, Ive heard of doctor’s prescribing far higher amounts for Vit D deficiency.

Thanks for reading! Starchy carbs are the most common culprit in over eating. It is not difficult to mindlessly eat 2 cups of rice. Instead, focus your Mon-Fri meals on fruits, vegetables, healthy fats and protein. Of course, fruit has carbohydrates just like rice, yet fruit comes with significant amounts of fiber and water, making it more difficult to over eat. Not to mention that 1 cup of dry rice is about the carb equivalent of 2 large apples, a banana and an orange. Remember this: carbohydrates are FUEL, and when you are trying to lose fat, you want your fuel resources at a minimum. Excess fuel = fat. So fill up on the other “macronutrients”, like fat (olive oil, avocado, almonds, etc.) and protein (chicken, eggs, fish, etc.)

Hope this helps!

Thanks for this post. My supplier’s price for Whey Protein Isolate just skyrocketed to over $12/lb so I am looking at trueprotein.com.

Question: Why not go 100% Whey Protein Concentrate? I don’t think there’s too much loss in protein per gram, and it’s much cheaper.

Thanks, and hope all’s well in MA. -Kevin
