Very restricted diet. Vitamins?

5 replies

I have a very very restricted diet. A few people have mentioned in passing that I should be having extra vitamins etc to cover what I’m not having.

Does anyone do this? My doctor has not mentioned anything like this. But to be honest the doctors have been next to useless.

I would really recommend extra vitamins to anyone tbh, let alone if you have a restricted diet (as long as your doctor says it's ok of course). People shrug it off that they have a balanced diet but our food isn't grown in the same way any more and I don't believe a lot of people really are getting all the vitamins/minerals/omega 3 and probiotics they need from their diet. A lot of people don't even have their 5 fruit/veg a day.
Its up to you, a lot of people will have an opinion either way but do some research on what you should be having daily and you can make up your own mind Smile

What about something like Huel that gives all the nutrients? You can have it as a shake like drink or porridge.

I looked at things like Huel they have ingredients I can’t have. My diet is stupidly restricted.

I can't see the harm in taking a multivitamin daily, and quite a lot of potential good, under the circumstances.

I would.
I was sceptical for years, ate a restricted diet and was ‘fine’.

Then I really wasn’t!

A good multi vitamin makes an obvious difference to how I feel day to day (once id been taking it awhile and effects could build up)
