Can anyone tell me what absolute essentials you should have when starting?
I came up with the following: Did I miss anything
glucomannan powder
Nustevia stevia pure white stevia extract
swanson premium whey protein
xanthan gum
is it better just to order all online as far as price goes? Or can you find some of this stuff at whole foods or someplace similar?
Thanks

This is a great start. Yes, it is typically the most cost effective when you order these online. Xanthan gum is less essential than the rest, and you can actually find this in stores like Whole Foods. Only a few recipes use it anyway. Gluccie tends to be more of a favorite. Actually, none of these ingredients are essential. They are very commonly used by THM's, but you can certainly do the plan without them. But if you're looking for some extra things to help you get started, I would say these are the best.

I think the stevia extract is pretty close to essential I agree you could pick either glucomannon or xanthan gum, both would be good, but if you need to save the money I would pick glucomannon.

Also, if you are just starting out, Gwen's Nest {linked} has a great Start-Up guide and some good recipes. Stacy Makes Cents {linked} also has some great recipes and organizational ideas for living a THM lifestyle. I've been doing THM (on and off) for about 6 months now and just found these 2 sites. They have been very helpful and motivating to me. With some really great ideas!
