taking vitamins with the program?

Hello i just finished 2 days of phase 1 now on phase 2 for 2 days and wondering if i can continue taking my vitamins that i was taking before. Also am going to a wine tasting end of week any suggestions on what to do?

Does anybody have advice on my comments re vitamins??? thanks

I'm certainly taking all my OTC meds.  As far as wine-tasting.  I'm sure it will slow the weight-loss because of the sugar.  I'm a wine drinker and know it has slowed my weight-loss.  Except on rare occasions, I am going to put a halt to my regular wine drinking. 
 
The nutritionist will be able to tell you more.

Hello Frankie,
 
You can continue taking your vitamins when on Almased.
 
Keep in mind when you are on phase 2 (2 Almased shakes & 1 regular meal) that you can stay on this phase until you reach your ideal body weight.
 
Alcohol slows down the metabolism, so it may counteract the weight loss process. However, you are usually only trying small amounts of wine during wine testings. You could ask the server to give you less from each wine. This should be fine.

So is there a better wine to taste red or white.......i did this program prior to xmas and did really well then went off of it for about a month or 2 and now ready to get back on the wagon.....should i have stayed in the phase 1 longer or is it too late???

Hello Frankie,
 
In reference to weight loss, you may drink either red or white. Both contain alcohol so there is not much of a difference between red and white, especially since it's only a wine tasting and you are most likely to consume less of each. Red wine contains more antioxidants than white, however, there is research that shows that either are as beneficial.
So, it's up to you and your preference.
 
You don't have to go back to the liquid diet again. However, you may if you are re-starting the diet. You can stay on the liquid diet for up to 14 days at a time.

I take all my vitamins and have continued to do so am I am on my 11th day on Almased.  I take the GNC Women's Mega Wellness pack every morning right before I drink my Almased for Breakfast. 
In my opinion, you must take your multivitamins no matter what diet plan you are doing.
