Can B vitamins assist

Options
I don't know if vitamin B shots help with weight loss or not but I can tell you that Physicians Plan Weightloss and Wellness uses the shots. I have been going there for 2 weeks now and have lost 20lbs eating right and drinking lots of water within 2 weeks. I know I do have more energy now and that may just come with getting all the junk out of my body!! Anyway, maybe it does help.

    How many calories are you eating per day?

    You lost 20lbs in two weeks. Do you really think that's a great idea?

    If this is the same kind of plan my wife is on, you're eating about 800 cal/day. One can expect rapid weight loss in those circumstances with or without a surplus of B vitamin. Eating that little there's a chance you'd be actually deficient without supplementation, so it might be necessary in any event.

    A surplus of any water-soluble vitamin just ends up in your urine. If they're giving you too much, it's just making for expensive pee. (A reasonable surplus, anyway. There are upper limits on how much you can take in without toxic side effects. If this is medically supervised, they should be giving you a safe dose though.)
