Do I stop taking my iron pill?

[EmDee]

The rules of induction suggest a multivitamin that does NOT contain iron ~ the multivitamin I already take has iron PLUS I take a daily iron pill because I have had issues with low iron (prolly caused by very heavy periods).

Is iron a no-no on Atkins?

Re: Do I stop taking my iron pill?

if your doctor prescribed you with iron tablets i would listen to him. you may find after further tests when youve been on atkins for a while that you wont need them as our diet already contains a lot of iron.

so no, its not a no-no, you just wont really need it.

Emma is correct....after being on Atkins for awhile, a blood test may find that you don't need to take iron pills anymore. Best of luck to you!
