It's really ironic to hear all this "stuff and nonsense" about not getting enough nutrients in low-carb as if it's the only diet plan to suggest that supplements are necessary. Actually, I haven't heard of any diet plan, low-carb, low-fat, or whatever, that doesn't either include supplements in their product as pills or fortification or recommend supplements to augment their diet. Besides, you can get all the vitamins and minerals you need eating just meat and vegetables -- at least at maintenance levels. And you don't need fortified grain products to do it either.

It's just during weightloss that you might not be eating vegetables at levels high enough to get all the nutrients you need, that's why you take supplements.
