At this current point, I am not monitoring it. I fully intend to record and monitor all my caloric intake once I get all this figured out. I just had a breast augmentation and have finally been cleared to get back to normal exercise. I will have a strict diet plan as well as a work out regimen, but I would also like to supplement with something for that extra boost. Ive never done it before, so right now im looking for info and recommendations so I can educate myself as much as possible to be sure I do it right.
