Okay so first of all no I haven't done it, lol but I was just wondering if anyone has fasted while on Phentermine or done the Lemonade Diet or anything similar ? I tried to find info online but couldn't find anything. I've heard fasting is really good for cleansing the body and I was thinking what better time then now, when I'm never hungry.

Please give your honest opinion. If you don't think it's a good idea please say so or if you have done it how did it work ?

Hope to hear from you guys :--))

I don't think it's a good thing to fast while on phen. It speeds up your metabolism and the best thing to help it is having some calories to help that. Anyother diet i'd say would be cool. I'm thinking on going on the slim fast diet because their shakes aren't so bad and it's a good way to get some calories in your system to help it burn even more.

I'm no expert, this is just some advice. I had to force myself to eat today because I wasn't hungry at all so doing the shakes would be cool because there's no way to overeat.

let me know what you decide to do and how it works out. I am interested.

And as far as cleansing the body, after I lose all the weight I want because it'll be a good way to start the new me!

Hi and thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and respond. I'm still not sure about the fasting thing but I totally get what you are saying about how I need calories. I never even thought of slim fast though, that's a really good idea. I just know I'm only going to be on Phen for 1 month so I just want to get the most benifit from it. My doctor said she would like to see me at 170 and I'm already 176. However 170 is not acceptable to me. I want to be about 155, I can do it !!!! :--)))

Thanks again for responding, it's so nice to hear someones opinion on this :grin:

If you fast while on Phentermine, your metabolism will drop like a rock
because your body goes into starvation mode. Then when you stop
taking phentermine, and start eating regularly, your body will be storing
most calories as fat to survive, instead of burning them normally.
So, it will cause you to gain weight. Plus it's very unhealthy.

Good luck though!

I did it kinda on accident, I just wasn't hungry and was just busy with other things to do. I had to force my self to eat something because I would start to feel shaky and sick, I DON'T recomend it, unless your into the flu symptom type of feeling...lol!

I think that everyone has hit the nail on the head. If you don't eat, it'll slow down your metabolism. You're body needs fuel. That fuel is food. I'd hate to see you go the other direction whaen you're doing so well!!
Keep up the good work!

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THE SUBJECT OF FASTING WHILE ON PHENTERMINE AND CLEANSING THE BODY.

ITS NOT A GOOD IDEA NOT TO EAT. YOU HAVE TO FORCE YOURSELF TO EAT HEALTHY OR YOU COULD MAKE YOURSELF SICK. I AM ALL FOR FASTING FOR SPIRITUAL BELIEFS BUT I WOULDNT DO IT WHILE ON PHENTERMINE. AS FAR AS TO CLEANSE THE BODY I HAVE FOUND THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS THROUGH INTERNAL CLEANSING HERBS. I HAVE NOT FELT THIS GOOD IN YEARS. I STARTED A 30 DAY COLON CLEANSING PROGRAM THAT WE ALL NEED. IT HAS HELP ME TO REALLY CARE ABOUT WHAT I PUT IN MY BODY. TO LOOK UP INFO GO TO DR.NATURA.COM AND YOU WILL BE FILLED WITH MUCH NEEDED INFO THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT. I KNOW I DIDNT. :!: HOPE IT HELPS.

I don't think that anyone said that "cleansing" was not a good idea, but if you are on Phentermine and trying to drop pounds in an alloted amount of time, fasting is not the way to do it.
Again, good luck in your goals. And happy losing.
