Weight Loss
"I am a 50-year-old woman who has lost 28 pounds after being on phentermine at the low dose (15 mg) for four months. About 3 weeks ago, I switched from daily dosing to every-other-day to wean off, and am continuing to lose about a pound a week. I think the main benefit of this medication is that it makes it much easier to eat healthy, and -- more important -- get into a *routine* for eating healthy. I have made some significant lifestyle changes over the past four months which I hope are now permanent. I stay between 1300 and 1400 calories a day, eat very small meals and lots of snacks including lots of healthy fats, drink very little alcohol and try not to eat anything at all after 6:00 p.m."
