Do you ever think your vitamins are halting weight loss.

[Thinker]

I take:

The Atkins Basic-Three (3)
The Atkins Dieter's Advantage (2)
Atkins Essential Oils w/CLA (2)
Super Vitamin B Complex (1)
Fish Oil (2)

But sometimes I think my vitamins are holding off my weight loss. By accident, I skipped them last night. This morning - my CVS keto strips are dark, dark purple. I can't think of anything else I did.

Any thoughts here?

Could be a difference in your water intake.
And with the Ketostix, you either are or you are not burning fat. So the degree of the color does not matter. Like being pregnant, you either are or you aren't.

Well - I like the CLA & Fish Oils. I believe in them. The Atkins pills are taken in those doses. I'm leaning toward replacing the basic 3 for a multi-vite.

Those things can't kick you out of ketosis. You should take the oils, they are really good for you.

Well - funny thing. I ran w/what was working. Basically, I dropped my vitamin regimen a bit and I'm 5 lbs lighter. My personal non-by-the-book thing that I do is to have caffeine in the morning. However, I gave up drip coffee - in general - in favor of one small espresso and then green tea.

I've been a VERY GOOD BOY when it comes to watching my carb intake. But..I was doing that before (at least since my last screw up)...and I was dropping, but not as rapidly.

Could be anything - but I think the vitamins have something to do with it.

Really? I didn't think that was the way it worked? I thought the strips measure ketone concentration. More ketones = more ketosis. More ketosis = more fat loss.

Am I wrong here?

I used to think that too, but apparently this is true. BTW, I still don't think your vits had anything to do with not losing. There are so many factors involved with pound loss, and to blame your vit regimen is only going to cause you to be less healthy. Your weight loss after reducing your vits was, IMO, coincidental. Do you really think Dr. A would recommend all the vits he did if it would cause stalls? You need to reconsider vit reduction, because it won't stall you.

Hi - UPDATE: Strangely enough, I've been skipping my vitamins and I've been ketosis boy. While I was meandering a long - now I'm 6 lbs lighter and dropping fast. Something, clearly, in my vits was slowing me down.
