Good diet nutrition is essential for optimum health – including efficient metabolism and stable blood sugar levels, both of which affect weight control and how fast we lose weight. For example, a number of chemical reactions are required to convert food into energy or fat. These are controlled by enzymes, which are influenced by vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients. Any vitamin or mineral deficiency may harm our ability to convert glucose into energy (instead of fat) resulting in slower weight loss or more difficult weight control.
Which Vitamins Affect Weight Loss
All vitamins are important, and most work together. The most important vitamins for weight control and metabolism include: Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Choline and Inositol.
