Very true. Sadly most people who lose will gain the weight back no matter how nutritious their diet.
I do agree that nutrition is important. I'd even say very important. But I don't think everyone reducing calories needs to take supplements.
If someone is on a low calorie diet for weight loss. In my opinion multi vitamins are very important to take. For filling in the nutritional gaps that all the food couldn't fill.
The problem is that most people go too low with their calories. If you are eating at a reasonable number, you should be able to get your vitamins and minerals from foods. I am not sure how "low calorie" you are talking though.
Even with a 1200 calorie diet you don't get all the vitamins you need.
Why After having a long talk with my doctors, I take multi vitamins.
While that can be true, that's not an absolute. 1200 is too low for most anyway.
Total, I'd agree. Net, I think it fine for a good many women.0 -

I agree.... But I can see what the OP is saying. For example, I am trying to stay close to 1200 calories on my diet, but I am also doing fairly low-carb (no comments from the peanut gallery please, it is working for me!). I have calculated things out with my meals to stay within a certain macro ratio and there are some foods I am avoiding because they upset my stomach. Since I am not eating certain foods right now (might try them again in the future) I am making sure to take vitamins/minerals to supplement for those lacking in my diet.0 -

The whole point I was tying to make was for people to go seek a professional. Someone who can help them lose weight, maintain or gain. What ever it is anyone wants.
Which is what I finally did and what I'm going to school for.
Plan and simple if someone wants to do it right they should go see a professional.
And that's fine that you believe that. I just happen to disagree. If you do it right, I don't think there is any reason to see a professional since you should really only be eating a little bit below your TDEE anyway. Maybe a dietician if you are having issues losing weight, but most definitely not a nutritionist.
I understand your point, and it is fine, but there are people who won't agree, especially with blanket statements that make it sound like it is a "must" which multivitamins and professionals are not.0 -

Thank you, lol
Sorry this whole messaging thing is driving me crazy. Still getting use to it.
But from what a professional told me. Most if not everyone needs to take vitamins because we all lack it in a certain area.
But again that's just what MY doctor said. No one has to agree 0 -

Your doctor like an MD? Or your doctor like a dietician? There is a big difference. Most MDs don't know squat about nutrition.0

In the original post, she was talking about someone who thought removing certain Vitamins from their diet was going to help them lose weight..... This is a perfect example of someone needing to see a professional, as they have no clue what "doing it right" means. The OP was just trying to help out, but couldn't find how to do it in the original thread.0 -
Dang it! Why can't I figure out the quotes!?!! Dang noob!0

My dietician.
I went to him once I started lifting and wanting to compete.
He just filled me in on some knowledge I had no clue about. Which makes sense because I'm not a professional0 -

Understand that. That person maybe could have used a multivitamin. It's the blanket statements that make most statements wrong.

If the dietician saw that you weren't getting your vitamins through food then I am glad he/she recommended them to YOU.

I should've said "in my opinion" that's my bad
But I don't think I'm wrong. I went to a professional. We all have different opinions tho.

Did the professional tell you s/he was giving you general advice (advice for everyone), or personalized advice (advice for you)?0
