Accepted Answer

Better Balance: There is probably a better way to promote weight loss then just eating porridge and greens. 
Consider a high vegetable and protein based diet with low complex carbs and low glycemic foods. Its not always how many calories you consume, its type of calories. 
Regular exercise is crucial to furthering weight loss. While you can likely survive on the diet you mentioned. Better ways to exist!

Question 10

can i keep taking super greens while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Don't know: Don't know what super greens are. 1000x more important than any supplements would be to pursue a high animal fat, very low carbohydrate diet. The baby and all cells in the body need essential fatty acids and amino acids.  Otherwise vitamins and minerals.  There is no requirement for carbohydrates, yet our society pushes 70-90% carb diet?  What's missing are fats and proteins.  Take prenatal vits.
