Does taking multivitamins without a meal create a diuretic effect?

This morning I took my usual does of multivitamins without having actually eaten a full meal, it's suggested that you always take your vitamins after a full meal, as I have always done. About 1-2 hours later I had this minor sort of diuretic effect where I went to the bathroom a couple of times to urinate just little bits of water. My urine was clear as it has usually been since I drink plenty of water during the day.
But the weather has been very odd today too! Lately it's been very hot and dry, hello it's summer, and this morning was surprisingly cool with high humidity. Could the change in weather be affecting me somehow?
The multi-vitamins include Vitamins C, D, E, B6, B12, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folic Acid, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus, Iodine, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Molybdenum, Inositol, PABA, Panax Ginseng. Do any of you know if any of these vitamins create a mild diuretic effect, or is it just a change in weather?

I would like to share this with you all who is watching their diet..?

When i was little girl, my mom would give me about 10 almonds every morning: she said it is good for my skin and my brain and hair, and i like almonds. PLAIN almonds not taste added.
I have been eating almonds again now about 20 pieces of almonds almost every day. And i want to share some info with you all who are watching their DIET AND HEALTH.

Almonds are one of the most nutritious of all nuts. As more and more consumers become dedicated to healthy life-styles, experts have found that adding natural foods, such as almonds, to your diet may be the prescription for physical wellness in the 21st century

If you think almonds are just for satisfying your mid-afternoon munchies, you're in for a surprise! These tasty tidbits pack a nutritional punch, combining tons of essential nutrients in one very delicious package.

One teeny ounce of almonds contains 12 percent of your daily allowance of protein. And absolutely no cholesterol, of course.
You'll also get 35 percent of your daily allowance of vitamin E, that valuable antioxidant with so many cancer-fighting qualities. And most of the fat in almonds is monounsaturated, also known as the "good" fat.

This little nut is also loaded with minerals like magnesium, phosphorus and zinc, as well as lots of healthy fiber.
And don't forget calcium and folic acid - they're in there too!

When you get right down to the details, it's no wonder so may people go nuts for almonds (like me =)

20-25 almonds (approximately one ounce) contain as much calcium as 1/4 cup of milk, a valuable tool in preventing osteoporosis.

Almonds are the best whole food source of vitamin E, in the form of alpha-tocopherol, which may help prevent cancer.

If you're pregnant, or thinking about it, almonds are a great source of the folic acid you need!

Almonds contain more magnesium than oatmeal or even spinach. Are you listening, Popeye? LOL....

Build strong bones and teeth with the phosphorus in almonds.

Almonds make a perfect smart snack. Not only will the sensible mix of fiber, protein, and fat stabilize flagging blood sugar, but the vitamins and minerals in nuts (B, E, magnesium, and more) are excellent for your grey matter! Almonds make a perfect smart snack. Not only will the sensible mix of fiber, protein, and fat stabilize flagging blood sugar, but the vitamins and minerals in nuts (B, E, magnesium, and more) are excellent for your grey matter!

So YOU KNOW NOW HOW GOOD ALMONDS ARE FOR YOU.
Every time you feel hungry just munch on 20 almonds, plain 20 almonds carry 200 calories, and these are good calories.

Good for you skin, hair and for your brain. Keep your brain sharp and you memorize things faster. Eating almonds good for your abs too. It shows your abs more.

I KNOW THIS IS NOT A QUESTION, BUT I FELT LIKE SHARING THIS REALLY GOOD INFO WITH YA'LL.

Have a good weekend EVERY ONE!
