Diet with adipex

Sounds like Adipex isn't for you.

You are unhappy because you are still making food choices that are not sustainable. You need variety!! Nuts, eggs, potatoes, humus, bread, peanut butter, fruit, sandwiches, pasta, meats, cereal, and an occasional treat. You can eat anything you want as long as it stays within your calorie allotment for the day. Don't set yourself up to fail...if you want a life change then you need a real food plan that makes you happy AND fulfilled.

I don't necessarily think it's the adipex, just me trying to do a complete 180 on my eating habits. I'm really struggling with it today

What I meant is that you want to eat junk but when you take Adipex and eat junk, you are going to suffer with tar-like, foul smelling diarrhea.

Take baby steps. Don't try to change your eating habits all at once. That is setting yourself up to fail. Take it one day at a time.

I hope you've done your research on Adipex. There are a lot of unpleasant and potentially dangerous side effects.

You lose weight by eating at a deficit. Eat "good" (whatever that means to you) 80% of the time. Fit yummy, portion-controlled treats into your calorie goal. Deprivation can lead to bingeing.

According to http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682187.html you can only take phentermine for a few weeks. So you need to work on logging everything you eat accurately & honestly. Adipex will jump-start your weight loss, but it's up to you to make a permanent lifestyle change.

I couldn't agree more. The drug is there to give you control so you can make better choices and start building some good habits, not to mention motivate you with some quick weight loss right out of the gate. You know why you gained weight, and it likely is due to food choices and portion control. If you come off the Adipex and haven't changed your habits, you might as well not have taken it at all. It's all coming back, and likely bringing extra pounds with it.

I have been on generic Adipex, phentermine, and I will tell you that if you make the changes you WILL lose the weight and it WILL stay off. If you quit being diligent about food choices, portion control, and exercise once you're off the drug, just as with any diet, you're sunk. It happened to me after maintaining my loss for 12 years. I never crave anything when I'm taking it, though, so I'm not sure how to help you get over that. If you're not a fan of healthy foods, maybe you should see a nutritionist for some ideas that will meet your calorie and nutrient requirements while still being somewhat palatable to you.

This drug is a fantastic tool for many people, but you get a very short shot at it. Don't waste the opportunity it's giving you. Get some extra help.
