I have lost lots of hair and many others can attest to that. Hair loss happens on all diets though, not just Atkins and not everyone suffers from it. I started supplementing with Biotin 3-500mcg).
Quote:
is there any Vitamins that I need to be taking while on induction or will a multivitamin do?

You need:
multivitamin preferable w/out iron
calcium/magnesium supplement (1000mg per day is what I take-3 doses)
potassium ( I take 4-100mg per day)
Chromium GTF (I take 3-200mcg)
Additional supplements that some not all people take:
Co Enzyme Q10 (100mg)
L Carnitine (2-3 500mg)
B Complex
Vitamin C (1000mg)
Vitamin E
Folic Acid (I think it's important, they put it in flour but now we dont eat flour)
CLA
Flax seed oil ( 3 caps)
Psyllium caps or the actual husks for constipation.
I take multivitamins, potassium, calcium, chromium, Co Enzyme, sometimes L Carnitine, folic acid, B complex, Vit C, Vit E, Folic Acid and Biotin. Also, flaxseed oil and psyllium husks.
In the book Dr A talks about recommended vitamins/supplements.
