I remember going to the store once for food, and then feeling suddenly overwhelmed by nausea and dizziness. I walked to the health section of the store with my head down (my meager attempt to prevent myself from collapsing), and intrepidly snatched a bottle of iron supplements from the shelves. I then wobbled to the register- still with my head down (I must have looked mental)- and then payed for the pills... shortly before unwrapping them, and then frantically popping them into my mouth like a junky on withdrawal (I was mere steps away from the register, still staring at the ground).
I was on the S.G.D. at that time, and I don't want to chance the same ridiculous ordeal happening whilst I'm at work (my job is physically demmanding). ...so I'm planning ahead by buying vitamins like these:
Vitamins for Restricted Diets
- Women's Multivitamins. A multivitamin contains a broad spectrum of vitamins that are necessary for us to live healthily. Women multivitamins often contain more iron and calcium than their ordinary counterparts, which are necessary for healthy bones, hair, and nails... and for preventing dizziness, as well as a host of other unfortunate results of iron deficiency.
- Omega 3 Supplements. Omega 3's help prevent cardiovascular problems and depression... both of which are often dangerous results of a very low calorie diet (especially for bulimics). Omega 3's also boost the brain, as do other 'good' fats (like coconut, nuts, flax seeds [which contain Omega 3], etc.)
- Antioxidents. People who follow a very low calorie diet are often deficient in antioxidents, which are necessary to fight infections. An antioxident supplement will fill the gap.
A Tip: be sure to take a bit of fatty food with your vitamins. Although it sounds unpleasant, it's necessary in order for your vitamins to be absorbed into your body. Whilst some vitamins are water soluble, other vitamins are fat soluble... and, let's be honest: low-fat diets are quite unhealthy in general.
