Hello Phen D members!

I am a newbie and I guess in need of some encouragement. I started Adipex this past Friday, 1/2 pill twice a day as ordered and to increase to 1 pill twice a day if 1/2 a pill not suppressing my appetite. Of course, it wasnt so today I increased them. Still as hungry as I was yesterday. I do feel a little bit more energy but I'd rather have my appetite suppressed more. Its hard to stick to a 1200 cal diet if you are always hungry. Has anyone else experienced this or have any encouragement?

Welcome! You may need to take a look @ what you're eating in your calorie range. )You can easily get 3 meals and 2 snacks in a 1200 calorie range. Also if you plan your meals beforehand it will help a lot. I'm on 700 calories with PhenD and B12/HCG injections weekly. Lots of water intake is also very important. Hope that helps and I'm sure you'll find what works best for your maximum success.

Make sure to get 100 oz of water per day. Also try to eat more protien. It will help you feel full and stay full. Are you hungry or just craving something to eat? If you are really hungry then you are suppose to eat. Lack of enough water can make you feel hungry sometimes. I can't stress how important water is. Good luck on your journey!
