Having started the UBB and focusing on the 2 Green Shakes start to the day, I was concerned with the lack of dairy products I was consuming and the calcium in my nutritional plan. I decided to focus on obtaining my calcium from non dairy sources and was encouraged to share this with the group. You may find this useful, I know I have.
