This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What does that even mean, not eating vitamins for a day? They're kinda hard to avoid. Are you talking about skipping a multivitamin or something?

I haven't heard that such direct vitamin sensing is a thing. At most I've heard of people getting appropriate cravings when they lack a vitamin, and I'm not even sure whether that's just anecdotal or an actual effect. Which vitamin do you think you're sensing after just one day?

I would bet that whatever you're experiencing is either

  • due to different food choices altogether, like eating less fruit and vegetables or more junk food. That can definitely be noticeble to the GI-tract, due to different fiber and fat content.
  • essentially an example of the placebo effect, and would fail to appear if you didn't know that you took placebos instead of your vitamin supplements.

Edit: To be clear, I absolutely expect OP to feel like shit even if he could have as much ravioli as he wanted. This is far too drastic a change, and not a super gut-friendly one, and that is ignoring that he is starving himself with only a can per day. If he didn't return to a normal diet, he would definitely develop some lack of vitamins.
