in Health and Weight Loss
I've heard that multivitamins stuff up your metabolism and everything, you get bloated etc etc.
I was wondering if this is true and what your experience with multivitamins have been like?
I don't know if I should take them but if it helps with weight loss then why not :P
But then apparently you gain weight so i don't know.

I'm on a healthy diet with mainly vegetables, lean protein and healthy fats. I'm female, 18 btw.

Thanks! :)

    Do you ever come back and respond to the people who post in your threads, or are you just a troll looking for attention?

    Based on my personal experience? No they definitely do not. They do give me more energy though. :)

    Dude why would you reply to a person you thought was trolling? To look for attention?
    I'm ensuring I don't waste my efforts in losing weight. Thanks for your comment though. It's nice to know that you take the effort to post.

    Because you post multiple threads asking the same stupid questions as if you haven't read any of the replies?

    It's like if I posted a thread asking what 2+2 is, people answer, and then I go ahead and ask it again another half dozen times.

    I'm hesitant to reply because I too have noticed you post threads and then disappear. But I just want to say that whatever forum you're getting info like the above from, you need to quit reading there because it's ridiculous b.s.

    She comes back to bump them if people ignore them.

    No.

    Are you looking for yet another quick fix? Your posting history is fraught with quick fix ideas.


    Sadly, kid, there are no quick fixes.

    My pharmacist told me they could make you gain up to 0.5 lbs a month. Doesn't make sense to me. But that's what he said.

    So I don't know if I believe that or not, but even if it were +0.5 lbs a month, I think the health benefits outweigh any consequences for me, especially since I'm always low on calcium and iron.

    I'd take what he has to say with a .5 lb grain of salt...

    Did your pharmacist ever explain why or how? It sounds extremely far-fetched to me. I mean, perhaps if someone who is deficient in certain nutrients that are required for rebuilding muscles, and that person is eating lots of protein, and that person has one hell of a workout routine....I don't know.

    It just sounds really stupid, though. And if true, it sounds really, really rare of an occurrence.
