There's so much to step 3, I think it's really the key to the program in some ways, and the hardest step. It would probably be good to just concentrate on that for a while.

Vitamins were a no-brainer for me, because I had already been taking vitamins, but the potato takes a bit more thought, because you have to figure out what size, what type etc so that might be a distraction from step 3.
