Is phentermine a thermo?

I know phentermine is an appetite surpressant, but is it also a thermogenic? Will it raise my metabolism?

It is supposed to raise your metabolism a bit, but if you don't eat enough due to appetite suppression, your metabolism goes down. Just make sure you eat 4-6 small meals a day, each one balanced with 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% unsaturated fat.

You're very welcome, Cassandra. I just noticed your new title, "JustSayNoToDoritos." WOW those were probably my favorite thing when I was up at 214lbs. I was addicted to doritos and coke. Whew! Now they make me sick.

Wannabelean, let me know if you need anything ok?

I'm trying to decide if I want to try Phentermine and deal with the doctors appointments, or if I want to try the herbal route. The only thermo/surpressant that has worked for me in the past is an ECA stack, since efedra has been banned that is now out of the question. I've been thinking about stacking hoodia with efedrine. I know phentermine works, but I really don't like having to go to the doctor monthly. I know there is now magic pill and that diet and exercise is the key I'm just looking for somthing to help me attain my goals.

I have tried them all in days long past, but for safety would try Phentramin now. Ephedra and phentermine are no longer wise choices if bought online. (And that's a no-no on the Stackers)Please let us know how you are doing and what your choice is....
