Hey all! I am new here (and glad to have found this site). But I do have a question regarding phentermine. I have lost, so far, 37 pounds. Here lately, the pill is working great from morning till around 4:00. After that, it is over with...I totally undo the great I did the earlier part of the day. The dietician told me she could tell I was not eating my "snacks", when in reality I am. Any suggestions on how to get the most of phentermine?

I'm not going to claim to know the answer for you guys, but my dr. put me on both phentermine and prozac. he says the prozac will help the phentermine work better. I'm hoping that it means it will work for a longer period of time.

I've been on the combination for 2.5 weeks now and have lost 7lbs. so far. I feel great.

Good luck to both of you and welcome to the community!

How long have you been on Phen? What are you eating up until the 4:00 hour?

Welcome aboard!!

Wow; 37 pounds is quite a great start! Protein and complex carbs(also fats, but very high in calories), eaten some every 3 hours, should assist in helping your blood sugars not spike.

What were the snacks?

**misspriss** · 04-03-2008, 08:04 PM

The dietician I was seeing at the time had me on a very low carb diet. the onlyn carbs I ate was fruit in the morning, fruit in the evening, and rice with lunch and dinner. My snacks are a lean protein mixed with a green veggie (piece of lunch meat with lettuce, rolled up; celery with peanut butter...). I will have to admit, at Christmas, I got a taste of sweets and bad carbs again and it has kinda ruined me...I need to get back on track, but the pills just aren't helping as much as they used to :(
