Multi vitamin?

I take womens one a day. it was recommended by my doctor.
It doesn't help with my weightloss, but it does make me feel better! I feel less tired everyday.

Vitamins help with nutrition. Not weight loss.

I take a multi vitamin but I don't think it helps with weight loss.

I have only been told by my physician to take a fish oil pill with meals to increase my HDL. However, I take a multivitamin, calcium, lecithin, vitamin C, and potassium gluconate every morning.

I don't take a multi vitamin, as the iron content in most of them makes me sick. They won't help you lose weight, but some will help you have more energy- B vitamins specifically

If your nutrition is suffering - such as it will on a lowered calorie plan - you need supplements.

Really? Surely eating healthier foods would result in less need for supplements.

I take a multivitam since I'm cutting carbs and want to make sure I'm getting my daily requirements.

Hear is some info I got off a website about vitamins and dieting:

Vitamin Basics

Multivitamins are meant to provide your body with the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance, or RDA, of various vitamins. Whether or not you might need to add a multivitamin to your daily regimen depends on your diet.

B Vitamins

Tufts University nutrition researchers report that multivitamins targeting dieters often contain higher levels of the B vitamins. This is because many dieters following a high protein/low carbohydrate diet are often deprived of B vitamins. If you are satisfied with your current multivitamin, you can add a separate super B complex to your daily vitamins. Additionally, consider weight-loss-friendly foods rich in B vitamins such as skim milk, hard-boiled eggs, green vegetables and lean fish.

Other Additions

Chromium picolinate is another common addition to multivitamins marketed to dieters. You might also find that multivitamins geared toward dieters contain green tea extracts. These two agents are said to increase metabolism and encourage the oxidation of fat cells. Tufts researchers report that evidence for this is limited, though the Subcommittee on Military Weight Management is devoting much time and research on this very topic in an effort to address the recruitment pool and obesity in America.

IMO even if you are eating healthy foods there is always room for supplements. I doubt you could ever have the maximum recommended intake of all the vitamins/calcium/iron/magnesium/etc each day. I don`t think it does any harm to supplement your daily eating by taking tablets enriched in these vital ingredients. Vitamin D is gained by exposure to sunlight and helps with absorbing calcium. So this is not reliant on eating healthy foods....I am sure there are other things I have read about similar to this also.

Just to follow up on this. I started tracking B, A, Calcium, Magnesium, & Potassium two years ago. I cannot get all the recommended minimums of these on 1500 calories a day. Try it, it's not possible unless possibly you are juicing and eating only fish and eggs for protein.
I tried, believe me. I eat very clean, almost no sugar and all whole foods.

The Rubic's Cube of trying to make this work is just not that easy. Try it.
