using diet supplements?

[vitaminc]

has anyone had any experience with them while on atkins?
did it help anyone with curbing your appetite and losing weight quicker?

Hi vitaminc! I don't use any "diet" supplements, but I do take vitamin and fibre supplements. I'm finding it to make a huge difference. It's the first time I've attempted induction while taking anything and I don't know why I didn't do it before. I guess I just didn't have the habit going.

I take a woman's formula multivitamin, bee pollen, royal jelly, vitamin C, calcium, and fibre. Nothing too fancy.

yeah im started taking stacker 3 today but i dont seem to have any of the adverse side effects everyone was talking about
it is working though, its curbing my apetite and giving me a good boost in energy. im only prolly taking one a day though in the morning cuz its really not recommended for minors under 18

Oh, ya, be careful with that then. I did take something years ago (I wasn't on Atkins at the time) but I don't remember what it was. NanoSlim or something like that. I remember it made me really sick and I returned it for a refund. GNC is awesome for that.

Good luck and do be careful!

just to let you know, you won't need ANYTHING to subside your appetite or cravings even once your in your first week of atkins...trust me. in the first 3-5 days, you will have cravings and induction flu (not everyone does) but after that, it's like you're in another body!!! just prepare your meals ahead of time, and always try to find new recipes...that will help too. don't put that other junk in your system...you want to detox your body of bad things!!!!

I definitely don't need anything to control my appetite other than this way of eating. I've never been happier and I feel as though I have control over my cravings now.

i found my problem on this diet was that id eat the acceptable foods, but i couldnt control my hunger and i'd over eat a bit sometimes. just cuz its allowed doesnt mean i can eat like 5 pounds of it lol. but i found with these diet supplements, it helps me and makes it easier for me to control it so i can still lose weight

Control is definitely the key. I don't have a problem with....as long as I'm following the rules. As soon as I start adding my own twist on things it all falls apart. Prepackaged low carb "goodies" seem to derail me. Sticking to the whole foods keeps me full and on track much better.

Personally - I just take vitamins. I don't trust diet drugs.

I have always wondered (does anybody know?) if there are any carb-content we should apply to vitamins. On Atkins - a good B vitamin is critical. We get so little w/o riboflavin.

Personally, I take a multi-vite, a B-complex, Fish Oil, Flax Oil, Zinc, Magnesium, Cinnamon, Alpha-Lipolic, Quercetin and Boswellia. That sounds like a lot - but it isn't a big deal.

I'd love to have a low-carb protein shake (preferrably a meal replacement) that I can stand. But I haven't found one.

Best....
