So I've been going at my whole diet thing really hard for the past week staying under my 1200 calorie a day intake. But for the past two days I have been feeling really nauseous like I can't bear the thought of food. Is this normal for the beginning of a diet? I do take my vitamin every morning.

    Do you normally take vitamins? Any time my doctor has started me on a new vitamin he's told me to start it at night, because vitamins can cause nausea.

    No, I just recently started taking a one a day, I never thought about the vitamin being the cause. Thanks! I'll definitely trying taking it at night and see how it goes.

    Make sure you take it after you eat something....

    One a day ALWAYS made me nauseous even if I ate so thats most likely the cause. I have to take gummy or chewable vitamins.

    Is your vitamin hard or a soft gel? The hard vitamins make me queasy and I've had some unpleasant moments. I switched to a softgel multi and the nausea stopped. The ones that're easier on your stomach will say so on the bottle. Good luck!

    Hope that helps! And Disnyfan is right too. I suggest either taking it at night when the nausea won't be such a problem, or try it with something in your stomach already. I take my multivitamin in the morning, right after breakfast, and then I take my D/Calcium at night.
