I'm not sure about this.
I think even when dieting we should be eating enough calories to sustain our activities and functions, which means theoretically we should be able to get all our vitamins and minerals from food. I mean, I still take a multivitamin because I know I don't eat enough of certain things (like veggies), but if someone preferred to diet in a very natural, chemical-free way (which may rule out vitamins depending how strict someone was being) I think it could be done in a healthy way. It would just take a lot of work.
