Diet pills?

Whats going to happen when you stop taking the pills?

Diet and fitness are not a job or something you have to do. Its a lifestyle and if you treat it any different chances are you will just gain it all back.

At least those are my thoughts...

I would stop the pills and get a new doctor. The over eating is most likely not because you are hungry but because you are masking something else. Being on here more will help a lot. I hope things go well for you in this journey.

I would personally wean myself off of them and try to just eat healthier and exercise more, you can't stay on diet pills for the rest of your life so you need to learn how to control things on your own. It gave you a good jump start, a very good jump start on your weight loss but you need to learn a healthy way of doing this instead of relying on a pill. When you feel really hungry drink a bottle of water and see if that helps you, make sure you give yourself enough calories that you can snack on some fruit or veggies when the hunger becomes over whelming, we are not here to starve ourselves, but to learn to make better and healthier choices for ourselves that will last a life time. Just my opinion, and I wish you the best in whatever you decide to do.

They have bariatric clinics where I live too and they will prescribe Adipex. I took it and lost nearly 50lbs as well. When I stopped taking it (it made my heart race, anxiety spike, sleeplessness, dry mouth, headaches) I gained the weight back SO quickly and even some additional. In my opinion, the pills are just a quick fix with no long-term results. Good luck :flowerforyou:

Pills = Bad :-)

Get off them and get a new doctor

You need to change your mind set, and understand that while a 1200 calorie is good, and you stick to it while on the pill, you need to teach your mind a body to be able to stick to it while off the pill.

Those diet pills while they work, once you get off them you will gain that weight back, because you never actually learned to eat healthy because the pill did all the hard work for you

You can stick to the pill if you choose, but you need to recondition you train of thought, its not a diet, its a lifestyle change. While you are on the pill, if you feel for a treat you should have it, that way when you stop taking it, it wont be so nerve racking and you wont try to eat everything you can because your mind feels it will never see them again.

Eating healthy is hard, we all struggle with it daily, hence why we are all here. However, its a learning process and you have to take it one day at a time

Goodluck

My thoughts exactly. When you're trying to lose weight, it isn't a quik fix. A diet is a quick fix. Healthy eating & exercise is a lifestyle. When it comes down to it, you have to decide whats more impotant: your life or this doctor. He's a complete moron for putting you on diet pills in the first place. You are going to have to come off them eventually, so I would suggest pouring those pills down the sink and starting fresh.

Go to the grocery store & buy fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meat (chicken, turkey, and fish), and unsalted nuts. Log your food and don't cheat yourself. Start moving and make it a point to exercise for at least 30-60 minutes a day. Incorporate strength training. If you start NOW, you will not be gaining back the weight. I can almost garuntee it. No cheats, just health.

As for feeling hungrier off the pills, you'd be suprised how full you can feel when you start eating healthier. Because almost everything healthy is low cal, you can eat more of it and not feel guilty about it. And even if you go over your calorie goal on JUST healthy foods, so what? Its still great nutirition your body will utilize for maximum health results.

BTW, no one should ever be eating below 1200 calories a day - that's dangerous for your metabolism.

Oh and another thing wildcata77 my low post count is because I started using this app yesterday. Sorry I didn't meet your post count for advice.

Wow...a little defensive, but whatever. There's no post count for advice. MUD means "made up drama".

I did give you advice...I said, "if this is for real, I'd advise finding a new Dr". I think any doc that advises use of diet pills and super-restrictive diets is probably a quack, which you suspect yourself.

what kind of pills Amphetamines I would still take them as you ease into new eating and exercise then just stop when you run out....

Thanks? You’re right, you did offer me a one line suggestion that said the exact same thing i already had. I just couldn’t see past the paragraph in which you attempted to discredit my question and concerns. I guess most people would be defensive when a stranger judges them as seeking drama and attention based on a one inch picture square and some ability to see the amount of topics posted. I am just defending my very legitimate question and the fact that i thought this was a site where i would not be judged on petty things like a profile picture or the amount of time i spend posting topics and questions. I do have a life. Not to mention the fact that i am new to the site and have not had time to post many topics. Nor do i attempt to call people out if i think they have a BS post when i really dont know for sure. I just read it and move on. I think you may be the drama seeker....

I say refill but start eating right and exercising hardcore until your metabolism is fast enough that you continue to lose weight without them.... youre under medical supervision so I dont think its a big deal.

Yes. Its call phentermine. It works really well with not making me hungry but i have had a few side effects. I have about 2 weeks of pills left and didnt know if i should just suddenly stop them or try and get myself into a better eating pattern and then quit them. And there is still part of me that wants to get my next refill so i have a back up if i start to backslide...
