What vitamins should I be taking?

[Moonlightmandii1620]

All my life I have had a weight problem. At 12, I lost 80 pounds. Sure it's an accomplishment, but now I'm afraid the weight is slowly crawling back into my life. I don't eat vegetables, and walking doesn't help anymore. I have a birth defect that prevents me from proper exercise.
Starting next week, I am trying something new. Over time I have been cutting out fast food from my lifestyle. Next week, I'm trying smoothies for breakfast. (Yogurt free of course). And hopefully will be able to attempt to lose weight by eating healthier.
My ultimate question though, is what vitamins should I be taking? And will they help the weightloss?

Unfortunately I can't change my diet that much as I'm still living at home and don't have access to limit my diet.
However, I can use this information and take it into consideration whith my current eating habbits.
I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my question.
Thank-you.

Vitamins and minerals do not help you lose weight. Eating right will. Suggest taking a regular multi-vitamin daily. You can try a Heart Healthy diet which helps to stay healthy overall. A Heart Healthy diet means a moderate fat diet to lower the fat content of your foods and increase ‘good’ fats to benefit your body. Moderate fat diet means = use polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats. Eat low fat meats (chicken, fish, loin of pork) or non-meat sources (soy products, nuts), low fat vegetarian combinations (rice & beans, pasta & beans, low fat cheese & pasta), low fat dairy and substitute dairy products (skim milk, 1% milk, low fat yogurt/cheeses, low fat soy milk/soy yogurt), use plant oils, non trans-fat margarines, and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Eat daily high fiber breads and cereals (oatmeal). Hoped this helped you.
