    But seriously, from what I've read, I suspect many people are vitamin D deficient...and it's an incredibly cheap supplement...and there aren't any negative side effects (that I'm aware of) for taking a reasonable dose...so in the whole cost-benefit analysis, it makes sense for me to take it.

    Will it have amazing effects on your weight loss? Almost certainly not.


    Edit: to change to "incredibly cheap" from "relatively cheap". Seriously, this stuff is <$20 for a 6-12 months supply (depending on how you dose it).

    No, the majority of people are NOT deficient. I really should have invested some $ in supplements. As long as you get enough cholesterol for conversion you're good. ApoE4 gene.

    I've reviewed your study and support your conclusions

    I've heard that it only works in anal suppository form.

    Google showed me this...

    Read carefully: "...the Vitamin D Diet is a portion control based program that limits an individual to 1400-1500 calories per day of Vitamin D rich foods that will provide the body with approximately 600 IU of Vitamin D daily."

    I take vit D3 liquid drops in winter (and so does my husband and kids) but not for weight loss. It's good for flu prevention: http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/early/2010/03/10/ajcn.2009.29094.abstract

    We live in southern CA and are outdoor a lot so I only supplement in late fall/winter.

    I take D3 drops because I'm deficient and I always make sure I take it with food containing fat. Never heard of it used for weight loss

    Never watched Dr. Oz. Guess I will watch this video. Friend of mine tried the raspberry keto whatever. He said it was a waste of money and MFP got him back on track.

    My Dr. did tell me to take vitamin D. I do when I think of it (not good at taking pills).

    Good luck with it!
