Someone else mentioned the Grüns vitamins. I also take them and have gotten my husband and parents on them. We all notice a difference.

I use an app called “me again” to track my water, protein, fiber intake and activity every day. If I did not track it, I would not eat enough at all because the food noise is gone and I am not hungry.
If you keep going this way, without eating, you will lose more muscle and get weaker.
