One a day Weight Smart Vitamins

[Jimmysgirl]

I recently started tracking every little thing that I put into my mouth on fitday.com and whoa....what a surprise. Not only has it been tough for me to eat my 1200 calories a day, which I know is soooo important, but I also pulled up my nutritional report only to find that I'm not getting anywhere near the amount of vitamins and minerals that I need. And I do eat pretty good too. So I want to start a multi-vitamin and the only thing that I have is "One a day weight smart" with egcg (green tea) in my cupboard. Has anyone taken them with phen? I shouldn't really have a problem taking them since I can drink coffee just fine, but I would like to hear if anyone else has tried taking them with phen. I've taken them before and I definately have to take them with food or I get sick, and they do keep you regular in the whole bathroom dept. So it would definately be a benefit for me to take them, but I don't want any crappy side effects.

I took them about 3 years ago and they made me sick! Blah!

[buttercupsbabie2]

DITTO they made me sick too!!!!!

[perdygirl315]

wow, i wonder what's wrong with them....they made me SOOOOOOOOOO sick..that my body had to get rid of them within 30 minutes..not good.

[perdygirl315]

i would just get a regular daily vitamin like citracal or whatever..those don't make me sick

[Jimmysgirl]

They make me sick too, but if I take them in the middle of a meal, with some food before and some after, I am fine. But I am like that with all vitamins, even my pre-natals killed me. I guess I will just get a regular multi-vitamin to be safe.

Both the iron and the chromium in the One-A-Day Weight Smart's could be making you want to hurl. Both can cause stomach upset. Maybe this is the hidden way to help you "control your weight"...by making you feel perpetually ill, hence less likely to want to eat? LOL

Seriously, unless you have some serious condition that is causing actual IRON anemia or are pregnant, you do not need 18 mg of iron supplements in addition to what you get in your diet. (Most anemia is actually from B12 deficiency.)

I just logged my last ounce of food for the day. I took in 17.6 mg of iron from my food intake. The RDA for women is 18 mg a day. It's not hard to get this from your diet. I did not eat much today and it certainly was not a model for healthy eating. I had a slice of pizza, Wheat Chex cereal, an apple, string cheese and some leftover brunswick stew.

Oh gawd, where was I going with this? SOMEONE SHUT ME UP!? Hubby interrupted me once, the puppy just peed on the kitchen floor, MIL phoned...I forget what I was doing! ARGGHHH!!! I had a point to this, I swear.

I can't even swallow the vitamins I mean My husband takes them-they have have them out for women only...

I am not taking Phen but I am taking Meridia along with the one a day weight smart. They make me sick as well if I take it on an empty stomach. But as long as I take them with food I am fine. I have noticed though that I am getting alot of headaches lately. Don't know if it's the Meridia and the one a day that are causing it or not. I guess I'll ask my Dr. at my next appt. what he thinks.

[dumbfox]

Iron causes headaches. But, so does Meridia. I'd cut out the One-A-Day's and sub a vitamin without iron and see if the headaches go away.

I know what you guys mean about the sickness associated with the one a day weight smart vitamin because I sufered too. I told my cousin about it and she was advised by her doctor to take it at night. So I gave it a shot and I have to admit that I no longer have the sick feeling I wake up refreshed and revitalized. Give it a shot and see if it works better for you.

wow,i see its making a lot of you all sick,hmmm, i had thought about getting some of those too,but now i just drink a vitamin drink from a healthstore,it tastes terrible,like orange juice mixed with vitamins,but it gets the job done!

[Bunzilla]

I have these and when I remember to take them (lol), I MUST TAKE THEM WITH FOOD. Like all vitamins, if I don't take them with food, they'll make me sick.
