I HAVE FOLLOWED THE ATKINS DIET VERY STRICTLY SINCE JAN 1, HAVE ONLY LOST 4 POUNDS, AND NO INCHES. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH WHEN I RAN OUT OF MULTI-VITAMINS, I QUIT LOSING WEIGHT. COULD THERE BE SOMETHING I AM NOW LACKING THAT IS KEEPING THE WIGHT FROM COMING OFF?

Why don't you list a typical daily menu, so you can get some input!

Good luck all!!

I don't think one has to do with the other. A good multi vitamin is always a good idea, but I don't think it would make you lose weight just by taking it.

List some daily menues and we will see if we can help you figure it out.

I used to be indecisive...But now I'm not so sure!

Dr. Atkins wrote that many people, (specially those who had been on a low fat diet) have too few vitamins and minerals in their system. As Jen said, a vitamin will not make you loose weight by itself, but if your weight loss has slowed since you stopped taking them, then I think you have your answer.

Many, many nutrients are involved in the complex process of metabolism. If for any reason you have a deficit, it's a little like putting low grade fuel in a Ferrari. Sure, it'll run, but it's just not going to run as well. IMO, a good multivitamin/mineral supplement is really cheap insurance.
