Phentermine Diet Plan

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but i'm bothered by some of the reactions on here. I think the thing to remember here is that if you have crummy willpower or have minimal experience with maintaining a healthy lifestyle, then the medication will not work for you. I want to ask all the people on here who gained the weight back: did you really eat throughout the day like you're supposed to when you were on the medication? Did you eat ENOUGH calories? Did you work out? Did you, in all honesty, change the things that caused you to be overweight in the first place? I ask this because I was actually on the phentermine dot com forum and it seems the majority of people that gained the weight back just took the med, starved themselves, and didn't bother changing anything about their life for the long term. It's not a magical pill that makes you "lose weight" in the sense that it burns the weight off. It acts as an appetite suppressant, so the weight loss is secondary to not eating. If you go from shoving several thousand calories into your face to just a few hundred, of course you will experience rapid weight loss. And of course, you're going to gain it back when you get off the med that's making it so you don't want to eat. Rapid weight loss is not the purpose of this medication, despite how exciting losing so much so quickly can be. Be realistic. If you couldn't maintain a lower calorie diet before the medication and don't make an effort to re-train your body to maintain one when you're on the medication, then you more than likely won't be able to when you're taken off it...

I've taken it. I, too, have PCOS and suffered an injury in the Army and gained a lot of weight when I got out. I lost several pounds on my own, but i was at a point that even my doctor, nutritionist, and trainer noticed that it was not as effective on its own, so I was given Phentermine. I dropped 30 pounds over the course of about 4 months initially and kept it off, except for the occasional fluctuation that most people get. Fortunately, I never had any of that crazy withdrawal stuff people are talking about, but I stayed on a lower dose. I wanted to still recognize my appetite, but not crave everything all day long, which was also very helpful. I was also an athlete most of my life so I'm thrilled to have gotten that initial weight off so that I can go back to physical training without having to stop and catch my breath every 30 seconds or without having ridiculous joint pain. I have plenty of work to do, as I'm not at my goal yet, but the Phentermine has definitely made it so I can be more active and productive and at risk for fewer health problems, which is far more important to me than rapidly dropping a dress size.

Keep in mind if you gained all that weight back it's your own fault. Only you can eat yourself into being 100lbs back to where you came from. Don't blame the pill. I tool it lost 50 lbs in 2 months. I got pregnant, lazy, got busy living life and being a wife and starting a full time career. I gained 60lbs with my son and then gained 10lbs after with the birth control implanon. I gained 70lbs total. I now want to lose that plus an additional 30. I started my phentermine just now to jump start me to losing weight again. It's a lifestyle change that you have to commit to....Only you can control whether the weight stays off or comes back...

Phentermine is in the drug class with amphetamines. Amphetamines are molecularly very similar to methamphetamines or methyl-amphetamine. It is speed. I'm not saying you shouldn't take it, because you are an adult and can take it if you want. I was on a different amphetamine (adderall) and abused it, because your body becomes increasingly dependent and tolerant of it, and I used higher than prescribed doses to achieve the same effects. I gained 100 pounds after stopping, despite efforts to diet and exercise. Just throwing it out there. Amphetamines have a high abuse/dependence potential, so always stay within doctors orders and good luck!

Phentermine has been shown not to be addictive in peer reviewed published studies.
