carterbv · 07-22-2008, 05:13 PM

This is maybe my 4-5 time doing low carb and i always have great success, got pregnant so of course had to get back on after i had the baby. I was just curious what supplements etc everyone is taking. i never took or take anything with this WOE....is that not a good thing?

xbleedingxglitterx · 07-22-2008, 05:20 PM

I take a multi and biotin.

Jaded62 · 07-22-2008, 05:20 PM

FloridaShell · 07-22-2008, 05:23 PM

I take Cinnamon, Biotin & Chromium all in one pill, plus a B-Complex

2muttsmom · 07-22-2008, 05:24 PM

multi, biotin, magnesium, calcium, E, C

Houston Heather · 07-22-2008, 07:15 PM

3 prescriptions that cause weight gain, and

Acetyl-L Carnitine
CoQ10
B-50
"Woman's Multi" - generic brand
400 mg Vitamin E (at night)
2 Cal-mag-zinc
Biotin

The week before my period, I add Taurine for losing the water retention.

aunatural · 07-22-2008, 07:32 PM

I just take a daily multi and echinacea at certain times of the year.

YellowRoseTX · 07-22-2008, 07:36 PM

Daily multivitamin and Essential Fatty Acid supplement, that's all for now

A bit of melatonin at night, too, but that's not really a diet thing

lwcrbldy · 07-22-2008, 08:44 PM

If you're doing atkins (and I know not everyone does here), he says don't even think about not taking supplements.

I take green tea extract, chromium picolinate, L-glutamine, and a balanced multi-vitamin every morning. The only caution I have about green tea extract is the caffeine in it-- I know some of us are trying to wean ourselves off caffeine. Hope this helps!

beautifulme · 07-22-2008, 10:03 PM
