Supplementation is provided through 2 companies (Suzanne Somers' Somersweet who is operating under Youngevity) and PROGRADE nutritionals for the HOT Minky Plan to simplify things. Supplements needed for optimal success on the HOT Minky Plan are the 3 Prograde supplements (Click HERE):
- Prograde Multi-vitamin for Women/Men
- prograde Whey Protein powder (vanilla flavored)
- Prograde Lean Meal replacement (chocolate flavored)
And #4 supplement is to utilize Somersweet in your coffee, tea and other beverages. Very low calories. No after taste. Must try! Better than stevia! Much better for you than aspartame! Can cook with it too!
During Week 1 We want to restore digestive health - avoid bad carbs: no dissacharrides and/or polysacharrides, reduce gluten from your diet, no vegetable oil, no alcohol. Week 1 only.
What MUST you have during week 1:
Increased anti-microbial virgin saturated fats (coconut oil), cod liver oil (refrigerate after opening, liquid; not capsules, with EPA and DHA), free range eggs, fish, beef (grass-fed preferred), chicken, etc., sea salt, gluten-free crackers with and one day of desire are some examples.
Always take cod liver oil (can take in the evening) with a virgin saturated fat to ensure absorption of fat soluble vitamins and anti-inflammatory omega 3's.
You will need to purchase psyllium husks at any health food store. (weeks 1-3)
I personally freshly ground my own flax seeds and sprinkle over 'real food' dishes. You really have to increase your water intake. Start slowly with increasing fiber.^^^
Optional Suzanne Somers' gourmet food products used on the 3-week HOT Minky Plan (weeks 2-3):
Chocolate mousse, Flan, Tuscan Sea Salt rubs, Simmer sauces, even the thighmaster.

WEEK 1 - The meal plan. You can get your supplemental products HERE. (then click on order now and scroll down) I make my dinner shakes with Prograde vanilla whey protein mix. You can purchase your own whey protein if you'd like. You will have to sweeten it separately with Somersweet to taste.

The increased healthy fats and increased quality protein will make your hormones happy and tame your sugar cravings.
Dietary virgin saturated fat is not the enemy. Too much sugar, hydrogenated fats, too many calories, too many carbs, polyunsaturated vegetable oils, sedentary lifestyle are.
Exercise is still recommended. Ask about Minky's exercise DVD's or arrange for a private exercise meeting for TRX Suspension training, using the thighmaster AND/OR to utilize the equipment/tapes that you already have in your house. Small steps 3-minute exercise everyday, except Monday. 3 minute-exercise BEFORE you eat! Rest is VERY important. Drink 6-8 ozs. of water prior to every meal w/ a pinch of psyllium husks. Drink an extra 8 ozs. after meals too.
