Phentermine support

I was on phentermine/fenfleurimine (phen/fen) and had lots of success. I lost 50 lb and kept it off for 5 years on that wonder drug. I was pissed when they pulled it off the market because a few people took too much of it and used it incorrectly. I have had moderate success with welbutrin but the beauty of fen/phen was that I didn't obsess about food all the time. It changed the way I thought about food. That was the real beauty of the drug. It wasn't an appetite suppressant per se. My feeling all along was that the billion dollar diet industry was threatened by the success of the drug and worked to destroy the market.

Appetite will come back and it is up to you what you eat. Are you going to reach for carbs? Or sugar? Develop a clean eating habit. When you are hungry, grab a boiled egg for protein or make yourself a clean smoothie.

Diet composition has virtually no impact on body composition.

I don't put much stock in the "clean" food idea. A carbohydrate is no cleaner than protein. An apple is not unclean, despite containing both sugar and other carbohydrates.

However, proteins can help with satiety.

I'm sure those are taking this and losing so much weight and then gaining back is because of poor eating habits. I cannot stress enough that this is not a miracle pill. You HAVE to learn how to eat.

You will probably have to continue to stress it. I said the same thing a couple time at the beginning of the thread.

Like I mentioned in another thread on this subject

I used to be 135lbs in shape, doing sports and weights, then when i graduated high school in 2000 I quit my habit of smoking and replaced it with junk and fast food and being lazy. 200lbs gained, sure at one point i lost 156 that was to meds to boost me along with some of it. Now after all this time, back at it, 85 down with 115 to go, make your choice a wise one. Starting from almost square 0 SUCKS ! I don't wish anyone to be back at the starting line like I had to do, I kick myself but i can't change it, I can just press forward and do what i need to do now to keep this life time change.

I experienced super $#$KJ# attitude, high blood pressure. Still fighting to bring my blood pressure down almost 5 years later. Weight was gained back. dry mouth. Ive heard people out there that have had it worse, think before you pop. It's pretty much a form of speed once you stop talking it your body slows down, I know from experience reason I gained most of my first loss back.

Here is to being healthy the old fashioned way!

Today is my third day of taking phentermine. So far the only side effect is maybe a little dry mouth, but maybe I'm just thirsty. I've enjoyed this thread so I wanted to join the conversation. I'll be happy to share my experience with the drug.

I work for a family practice physician. He refused to prescribe any type of diet medication due to the fact that they are highly addictive. The ingredients basically add up to be the same as Adderall. He always recommends diet and exercise before trying any type of diet medications, including over the counters, as they mainly give you tachycardia. Definitely recommend the old fashion way of diet and exercise, there is no magic pill out there, even though we all wish there was. But there is nothing better than working hard towards a goal and actually being able to say "I did this when I and everyone else thought I wouldn't be able to." Stay strong, this is a long, hard journey but one that is so worth it in the end
