Default Diet Pills

Dietry suppliments like vitimines are also unnecessary: if you follow the plan,
you get a good mixed diet of protien, carbs, and vegetables, with sufficient
daily supplies of everything you need unless you have a specific health problem,
in which case weight loss should be supervised by a qualified medical team. WW
themselves will tell you this.


What you say is all good. But many people trying to lose weight
apparently reduce the variety of food they eat. They probably find a
few meals that work and stick with them.
Because of this it's probably a good idea to take a good quality
multivitamin/mineral most days.
In addition it's a really good idea to get enough calcium. The best
way is through your food, but if thats not possible or marginal then
it's a good idea to take a calcium/vitamin d supplement. Apparently
getting enough calcium helps weight loss. WW specifically try to get
people to eat dairy produce (presumably to boost calcium intake
amongst other things).
On the other hand if you are sure you are getting enough vitamins and
calcium then supplementing is a waste of money, and can be
detrimental.
