I had a (former) friend who spent four or five thousand for an internet-college diploma in "Holistic Nutrition." We parted ways after I told her firmly to stop spamming me 39 times a day with every. single. crank. website. exposing the horrible truth about vaccines, fluoride, chemtrails and Reptoids from the Hollow Earth. I have to assume she intended to practise as she studied -- online -- because I very much doubt there's much demand for 310 lb nutritionists.

I've had zero faith in the title ever since.

I wouldn't worry about it because it's not going to last. The drug becomes less effective day by day. That is why after a month or two they will increase the dose. So as long as it's short term and you are under a doctors care I would just continue on as you are.

I may be completely crazy here, but if you are taking a drug to force yourself to lose weight, how will you learn how to keep it off? Its like reading a book to a kid instead of letting him figure it out. Yeah, he gets the storyline, but who is reading to him next time?

Barring illnesses and disorders, the body is completely capable of dropping 1-3 lbs per week and still be healthy without drugs. The heavier you are, the easy it is to lose; the lighter you are, the harder it is to lose. Therefore, at some point in your progress, the drugs will cause more harm than they are worth, and you will manifest some sort of eating or psychological disorder and be worse off than when you started.

This is all my opinion, of course. I don't have a clue what "Phen" is, except maybe Phenylbarbytol (or however its spelled) to control epileptic seizures. I am just against using anything unnatural in the body for something that the body controls on its own just because the person can't deal with it.

OP, you admitted two posts in that the drug controls your food choices. What happens when you stop? What will you have learned? The only lesson I see you learning is to take drugs to lose weight. Consider that. If you are going to continue the course, at least educate yourself on the physiology of nutrition. Why do you make poor food choices? Is there something in the food that draws you in? When you eat sugar, for instance, how does your brain react?

I reckon you can lose it without any meds, because that way, you will learn how to keep it off long term.. I lost a few years ago 132lbs with just diet and exercise.. It wasnt done rapidly, but it was done healthily Good luck hun..

If your on phentermine under a drs/ order they should have you on a diet to follow, and all these questions should be directed towards the dr and nutritionist you are seeing while being prescribed the phentermine. I have been on the phentermine before. be careful, its not a long term plan and it doesn't actually teach you anything. you still need to learn portion control on your own and utilize the pills properly, not just not eat and then lose weight. you won't be able to take them forever and when you stop taking them and haven't learned anything about proper nutrition the weight will come right back on. good luck with everything.
