Adipex DOES work! BUT you will gain it back when you get off adipex because that makes you not eat and when you are done you will eat again

Yes but 20 pages of saying "calorie deficit" is quite redundant, don't you think?

Sarcasm is my love language.

Rude is in the perception.

Honesty is golden.

I love this!

I would add:

"Honesty is golden but humor makes it shine..."

I believe the diet pills don't "help" you lose weight..BUT...i do believe if you get the right one, it does help curb your appetite to make better decisions. I definitely don't think anyone should ever rely on them what so ever but it helps me have a little more energy to get out and be active as well! They definitely aren't for everyone!

At some point, you've gotta learn on your own how to deal with your "appetite". Weight loss will help, to some extent, regulate the hormones that govern it, but here's the catch: if you've been obese, when you reach goal, that appetite hormone goes whack-a-do for a little while, and if you haven't learned to deal with it, you're going to be in trouble.

It's hard. Everyone wants easy answers, but there are none. A lot of this whole thing is a head game and learning that we control our bodies. Exercising your will every step of the way and realizing you have the wherewithal to do that is an important lesson to learn.

And basically blocks fat from being absorbed. Fat is a macronutrient and needed by your body. Plus, who really wants to fear pooping themselves at every sneeze or cough? (Which is what a few of my friends experienced when they took Alli.)

I'm not on any so can't give advice on it. I'm sure any help is a good thing. But in my honest opinion, you have to create good habits. A pill may give you a jump start but when you stop, where do you go from there? Taking a pill to curve your appetite to being hungry again. Preplanning and being on a good calorie goal is important. If 1200 is too low, you're going to be hungry. Research healthy calorie goals for your age, height and all. Good luck to you!

Yeah... NO.

Don't take that stuff. Read this for the "lovely" side effects.

Trader joe's cheesecake bites. You take one in the morning and it will make you skip breakfast.

There are some appetite suppressants that can help you maintain a calorie deficit without being overly hungry. But I'd be sure to check the side effects and ask yourself if it's really worth it. At some point you'll have to wean yourself off them and learn to eat within your calorie limit, or regain the weight.

I tried diet pills once in high school...all they did was make me act like a crazy meth addict. It was awful and I didn't lose weight.

If you could buy your way to being thin, would Oprah be overweight?

BEST.QUOTE.EVER! I am going to use this! I will give you credit though.

Oh and no way on the pills. Just log your food.

They're good for losing weight in your wallet. If you're losing weight, it's because of the 1200 calories, not the pill.

Exactly!

Waste of money. Spend it on buying foods you will enjoy while eating at a calorie deficit. Experiment in the kitchen, weigh your foods, log your meals and enjoy the journey.

What is with the "1200 calorie" magic number around here? I see so many posts with this...

Your calories should be set to your current expenditure with a deficit of 3500 calories per week (diet + exercise), which is 500 calories daily. Aim for .5lb loss per week. You're not just losing weight, you are also changing your behaviors that caused you to gain that weight in the first place. There is no pill that will make that change permanent and you are setting yourself up to rebound if you don't focus on changing your habits.

I'm curious, OP, you want to compare what you're taking to what anyone else is taking, but you don't say what it is you're taking. So what are you taking? Was it prescription? If not, where did you get it, and who recommended it to you? Did they provide any studies or other information to back it up?

Yes it was prescribed it's call phentermine.

esmeraldita85

Hi ppl. The pills that u was taking are phentermine but it sent me directly to the hospital.

Ok... As far as pills. the Belviq is only to help with weight loss. It is not sold as a magic pill to make you lose weight. Also information I received from my doctor states if you do not change your eating habits that you will regain weight when you go off the pills. The pills are for those that need extra help in getting started on the right path and then continue with the right diet and exercise. Yes you are losing weight because of your lifestyle changes but the pills help with curving hunger and getting a jump start. What works for one does not work for all let's please keep that in mind. If it helps you get on the right path what is the problem just don't count on it to solve all your issues with food. Should be used along with diet, exercise, nutrition and therapy if necessary.

Thank you for that. My Dr prescribed me Belviq today. I do my best to eat 1200 calories a day but I get cravings because I am also insulin resistant so my body is fighting for me to put any weight I lose back on. The FIGHT is REAL.
