Weight-Loss multivitamin and cravings

[miriel]

I noticed something and I was wondering if anyone else had similar experiences.

When I started cutting my calories, the hardest part of it for me was that I'd get cravings that would just completely crush my willpower. There wasn't any one specific thing that would do it...I'd just smell something good, or think about a burger, or remember the snacks in the cabinet, and I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it. I'd get to work and immediately eat the sandwich I had packed for lunch because otherwise it would drive me crazy.

About a week ago, I started taking a multivitamin, and I haven't had a craving since. I'd usually be *starving* by the time I got home from work, too, and now I've just been feeling normally hungry.

Now I'm wondering if I wasn't hungry because I needed more food, but because I needed some nutrient I wasn't getting. I'm probably going to take a good look at my diet and see what I might have been missing.

If there's anyone else who has really bad problems with cravings, you might want to try adding a multivitamin to your routine and see if that helps things at all.

This is a really good idea. think I am going to give this a shot to kick start my diet element of this life plan.

I use to use One a Day for men... once I switched to Opti-Men multi vitamin I seriously lost my HUGE appetite. I find it extremely easy to stick to low calorie diets and still be extremely active. I feel AMAZING and my sense of well-being definitely has improved. I've been using this multi vitamin for nearly a month now and it started to take effect around the 2 week mark.

Usually cravings are due to our bodies not getting certain nutrients so that would explain why the multivitamins help so much.

It doesn't work for me. Tried this already

I do eat quite a healthy diet though, the only thing I really skive on is fat and carbohydrates though I eat alot of vegetables and fresh fruit which I would count as carbohydrates.

Cravings for everything get to me but I guess in a way its better then having no cravings then all of a sudden cravings which come out of the blue- that'd be harder to adjust to and manage. Maybe constant cravings are a better way (trying to be posative here!!)
