I'm the first to admit I don't have the healthiest diet. This doesn't mean I eat fast food everyday or anything like that, but I've always been a bit of a weird eater and go through phases - for example, eating cereal for dinner each night.
As a result, I found out earlier this year I was low in iron and vitamin B, and have been making an effort lately to take iron tablets and mult-vitamins. (In the past I would buy them and they would sit around until they expired).
But I have noticed when I take them I tend to get extremely hungry about an hour afterwards. I take them with lunch (the vitamins I take say take directly before or with a meal, and I'm not a big breakfast eater) and I find soon after lunch (when I should be full) I'm starving.
I did a Google search (what did we do before Google?) but all I found was a lot of people asking if they make you hungry, and an article on ehow saying that doctors refute this claim. Personally I would think they should have the opposite effect. I often thought you experienced food cravings if you are lacking in something - so if you are lacking in vitamins you would crave a food that has those vitamins. So theoretically, if you are taking vitamins, you shouldn't be craving foods as you are getting the vitamins through supplements. I wouldn't say I'm craving anything right now, I'm just hungry!
