Very unhealthy idea: Fasting for two weeks could make you ill. Once your body clicks into starvation mode - your metabolic rate may drop and put you at risk for weight gain when you start eating again. Most multiple vitamins have minimal calories. Gummy vitamins and other "candied" options are usually higher in calories.
