Question: If all a body needs is nutrients and vitamins, why can't we survive on only vitamins and water!?
If we ate and drank only those two things why would we still be hungry!? A vitamin in the morning, one in the afternoon, and another at night along with water throughout the day!. I'd like to diet for about 3 months and was just curious why this wouldn't work!? or would it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
1!. You would still be hungry because vitamins are small in size and our stomachs need to more to satisfy hunger!.
2!. The reason it wouldn't work is because, as previously stated, you would be hungry all the time!. Also another underlining factor in the vitamin only diet is that to much vitamin can be toxic!.
3!. The answer to the last question stated is NO!. Please refer to numbers 1 and 2 for reasons why!.
4!. I'm pretty sure that You and I are the only ones who can read!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well your body needs other things besides water and vitamins!. It needs iron that you get from meat!. Your body, even though it doesn't seem like it, needs some sugar!. not too much though cuz that turns into bad things like fat!. The sugar turns into energy that you need to being active!. You also need protien and fibers from grain and vegies!. Stuff like thatWww@Answer-Health@Com

Your assumption is wrong!. You need protein to maintain body mass from
physical activity!.

If, however, you remained really inactive, you could survive quite some time on the diet you describe!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
