| 5 | Due to obesity | Absolutely none | I just want to add my own experience. My doctor prescribed these without even giving me a hint as to what foods to eat etc. I googled the medication and worked out that on this medication you need to have low calorie and low fat food. It is a struggle but if you stick to it, then you will see great results. I have worked it out to have 1200 calories a day with 30g of fat. Split this into three you then have your meal allowance. I also don't do any vigerous exercise apart from walking to work and back which takes around 45 minutes. In just over 2 weeks i have lost around 9lbs or 4.08kg. Not a massive amount but to me this is amazing. Just be prepared to cut everything out you used to eat as this medication is also all about training your mind to cut all the rubbish food out so you keep the weight off when you come off the medication. This is the only thing that has EVER worked for me. All those worried about side effects then stick with the calories and fat allowance above and you will be fine (apart from a extra bit of flatulence ;-) ) Good luck to everyone and i hope this helps. I will keep updating my results and if anyone wants any advice etc then please don't worry about contacting me. If i can help i will. A little point i found a website called My Fitness Pal, it has a food diary and tracks your calories and fat which i have found the best tool available. | F | 31 | 17 days 120 3X D | 4/17/2012 | |
| 5 | Due to obesity | Still no side effects and nurse has confirmed today that this is a good thing. Bad side effects that most people are experiencing are due to them not following the plan. | Well I got my weigh in today and it has been around 1 month since my first weigh in and I have lost 16lbs. This is massive and the nurse was extremley impressed. It proves you have to work hard to get your results and this is the result. You have to make the changes and stick to them. It doesn't work over night. | F | 31 | 26 days 120 1X D | 4/26/2012 | |
