Weight Loss Tip: no.1425

Limited research suggests that multivitamins may help you lose weight by influencing the appetite so you eat less.

Care to guess why?

Yup, taking a multivitamin might curb hunger because when your body is low on vitamins and minerals, your appetite can increase so you’re forced to eat to replenish the missing nutrients. By using multivitamins to keep your micronutrient needs in check, you can prevent an increase in appetite from nutritional deficiencies that may occur with the reduced food intake that’s associated with dieting. That’s a theory that possibly explains the results of one study where those who took a daily multivitamin lost weight while those who took a placebo lost nothing and a separate study where multivitamin and placebo takers lost the same amount of weight but those taking multivitamins reported feeling less hungry.
