Vitamin Calories

[Crystal]

I was reading the labels on all these vitamins and just realized that the evening primose has 10 calories in one pill.

does anyone know the calories in Biotin, Silica, UltraNourshair, and MSM or if there is any?

I've gained a few pounds since starting my Vitamins.

Does anyone know the calories in all these vitamins? As big as some of them are I wouldn't doubt they have some kind of calories in them.

Thanks

It may not be the calories in the vitamins that are causing you to gain weight. I tend to put on weight when I start taking vitamins as well. They just seem to increase my appetite. I know I have heard others say the same thing (maybe on one of the other groups I am a member of)

I am not at home to check for you, but I will later. I also eat ALOT more with taking of vitamis /images/graemlins/smile.gif but I just push myself more at the gym. I know 1tbspoon of Flax seed is 11grams of fat /images/graemlins/blush.gif I take 2 a day. My advice to you is to add 20min more to your workout (if you work out) if not START now /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Dang.

So basically what you guys are saying is that if I don't get to a gym I'm a have me some long flowing hair but be big as a house?

If there was just some way I could convey to you how much I HATE working out!!!!

I stood on the scale this morning and noticed I weighed 3 more pounds than I did a few weeks ago, I was heated. I popped in my Donna Richardson tape and did 40 minutes of aerobics and hated every minute of it.

I'm a just have to find the energy to workout because I want the hair and I want to have a nice figure.... the trade-offs we women have to make!

Actually you can have a fit body as well as the hair. Some believe that when you work out, you get blood pumping and circulating which in turn tends to have a good affect on your hair growth. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Since I added the vitamin regimen, I have gained about 10 lbs. The weight gain is unexplained. I also started to have a pimply face. I am in the process of rethinking my vitamin regimen.

MSM
Esther C


This week, I stopped the MSM and basically my face has pretty much calmed down.

The weight gain would have to be from the HSN or the MSM. It was really weird. Some days I would weigh 15 lbs more and some days I would weigh 15 lbs less. I bought a new scale and it still flunctuates daily but by only 2 or 3 lbs per day.

I think MSM, although it spurted my hair growth, is just too much for my body at this time.

Beetle;

The MSM is actually the least toxic thing you are taking its toxicity is that of water. I am sure the weight gain is from Chromium Picolante....you MUST be working out to take this...It helps to burn fat when you work out, but if you don't work out you gain weight from it. I use to take it when I was lifting weights 4days a week. Also too much Zinc and vitamin A will make you break out alot, in addtion to the caffine in the CP. How much MSM are you taking? you are only to take it MAXIMUM 3 times a day at 1/4 teaspoon = 3,300

I was only taking 1000 mg or g a day. The breakouts had to be the MSM. I don't have them anymore since I stopped taking it.

I am now working out so maybe the Chromium stuff will stop causing me to gain weight. Thanks for the info.

ok, yes there are calories in vitamins. Mainly the oil ones like flax and EPO. They are essential fatty acids. Good for you. When taking these, I would advise to watch your overall dietary fat. Cut bad fats, not these. Also Amino acids are protein, which means a few extra calories. Likewise I would make adjustments in other areas of your diet, not here.

I would suggest taking a look at what you eat as the culprit for weight gain, not the vitamins.
