i wish! i've been working so hard just trying to lose weight/maintain my weight loss that i can't handle adding in the extra dimension of making sure i get the correct doses of x,y,c. i think as a by-product of eating to lose weight i've actually upped the amounts of foods that i eat that contain many of these vitamins and minerals, but i would be lying if i said i did it on purpose!
