Initially I started at 500 once a day for a week, and then to 500mgs twice a day for 1 week, and then to 500mgs three times a day for 1 week, and then eventually 500mgs four times a day for always...or in my case until pregnancy is acheived. As far as the
weight loss I was also told that I should cut the CARBS down to a bare minimum get at least 15 to 30 minutes of exercise at least 3 times a week and just maintain a good diet.
