You need guidence: You are doing it yourself.You need to see a physician , dietitian and guidance .The way you are mixing up the otc supplements will end up with unforeseen results complications .My advise is reduce calories, exercise get a baseline evaluation with a medical professional .Do it in a healthy way.
