okay for what? if you are asking if you whould be taking those you will need to look at your food log in a nutritional breakout program and see if you are missing any vits or minerals and then look at what dr Atkins recommends you take and see what your order pills contain. ususall you can just buy OTC vits at a discount store that will match the stuff Dr Atkins says we need and save lots of money.

Im simply trying to match the 'basics' post under the vitamins section - does concern me that some are repeated.

Re: Is my order ok?

just remember that was not written by medical folk nor nutrisionalist just ordinary folk like you who read the book and had beeen doing Atkins for a while. Since only by looking at the food you have been eating over time and knowing what vits and minerals you are missing can you know what you should be taking.If you have been to your doc for a check up your blood work can tell your doc if you need any extra stuff.

Like while Dr At recommends no iron as iron toxicity is harmful and can be fatal most females do not absorb Irone very well in their intestines from their foods and with TOM they need the iron even though their diets are rich in iron doing Atkins.

BTW they may or may not have needed those vits as it has been estimated that the UNited states has the riched mostr nutrient dense toilet water heading to the treatment plant in the world. if you get excess water soluble vits you will just be flushing your money down the toliet. fat soluble exces vits can cause health issues since they are not removed by the kidneys.

I fully understand what you're saying and of course, these things are unique by individual, but with eating no fruit and little vegetables I want something to cover the basics before I can even get a doctors appointment; perhaps just the multivitamin for now would suffice.

Re: Is my order ok?

it sounds like the first 3 of those are multivitamins? i wouldn't take more than one mulitvitamin...

Re: Is my order ok?

Indeed; here is the post I took the information from, my knowledge of vitamins is somewhat poor but I intend to learn more; I was concerned with duplicating.

The Basic Plan

*Start with a good basic iron free multivitamin. Atkins has its own brand but it not one of the cheapest available. Centrum silver is a popular, readily available choice. Many stores also carry a comparable generic version.

*Add some vitamin C, these are also widely available and not too expensive.

*A B complex, look for a label reading Super-B or Stress Complex. These also are common and not expensive.

vitamin C is in the acceptable veggies and most multis. Bs are in the proteins we eat too. Dr Atkins in the later books and in his interviews says he recommend mega doses of the vits when starting his plan cause based on the poor eating habits the overweight population has he assumes all folk are deficient in vits and minerals when they start his plan.

a good multi should be your starting point. f you use fitday check your food choices in it and see if you are deficient in anything and they supplement as needed and save your money.

Re: Is my order ok?

your numbers are not lining up for us in any heading to know what is what. if youare using the fitday software you ned to go to the goals section and tell it to track every thing that is a vitamin and or mineral first then check your reports
