I went off the diet – do I need to change my supplementation? 

The simplest and most direct answer: no. You don’t need to change your supplementation after going off the diet.

Of course, if it is a day when you overdid it, it is recommended that you do not supplement. Only on that day. This helps in the digestion of food.
