Rep Power: 0 | | | Curious question Is it possible to live off of vitamins alone without food since vitamins has the stuff that food has? What I mean is like not eating taking vitamins and drinking lots of water without eating food at all? Is that safe? |

Rep Power: 10 | | | I guess technically you could live that way, from vitamins your entire life... but you'd have to have a very large verity of them to get enough of everything, and would be very expensive... |

Rep Power: 10 | | | well there is a vitamin for everything isn't there? It's just food gives you a large assortment of things which would be tough trying to get vitamins for. I don't know anyone who would actually do it, and I'm not a nutritional expert, I know it can't be a good solution from eating. It's always best to do things naturally. |

Rep Power: 0 | | No it isnt possible and is a daft idea, you would starve yourself. The only calories you would be getting would be whatever each tablet/capsule had.
Your metabolism would be ruined and you'd generally be messed up.
not a wise idea me thinks |

Rep Power: 0 | | Vitamins cause chemical reactions in your body , but you need Carbohydrates Protein and fats to survive and grow. You can't survive on vitamins alone. |

Rep Power: 9 | | Vitamins have nothing to do with powering your body directly. Only eating something with calories is going to give you any energy. That's all a calorie is, a measurement of energy. Vitamins are essential to keep your body running correctly, but they can *not* take the place of food. |  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
