I just started on Atkins and was wondering what vitamins work best with the diet? I know everyone was saying to stay away from too much iron. Just wondering what brands everyone is taking.

I have found while looking at vitamins that the only ones low or with no iron in them are for women 50+. Has all the other vitamins in it, just no iron. It comes in several brands, including store brands, which in these tight economic times, if you can get the same product but cheaper, I'm all for it.

I take Centrum Silver as my multi-vitamin. I also take a fish/borage/flax seed oil combo pill that gives me Omega 3-6-9.

I take Equate Men's Formula. I find many Men's Formula multivitamins don't have added iron.

UP until reading the above posts, my doctor told me to take children's vites, so I was taking cartoon chewables...lol. I think I'll check out the Centrum Silver.

I would check the children's vits for sugar content.
I do Centrum vits too. In the winter I take extra D. And I usually take extra magnesium, potassium and calcium

I was feeling a craving coming on and decided to boil some eggs for a snack and looked down on the label and it said that each egg had 1 g of carb. Does that mean I need to count eggs..so confused. I had 13 g of carbs today and ate two eggs so I wasn't close to being over or anything, but I was under the impression that eggs were considered 0 on the acceptable foods list.

Eggs actually have half a carb each in them, not a full one.

Re: Suggestions.

I think the food manufacturer had rounded up the carb count to 1, but so does that mean I need to count the eggs or not, because on the acceptable foods list eggs are counted as 0. I am just trying to clear up confusion so I know what I am putting into my mouth everyday.

Re: Suggestions.

I count them myself. It's not a free for all food, but it is something that you can eat several of without putting much of a dent in your daily allowance of non-veggie carbs.
