Phen day break/weekend Break????

[christman]

I have read that some people take a weekend break or a day break from it. I want to know what peoples expieriences have been on those days. I'm afraid to because I'm afraid I will go nuts and raid the fridge and gain all my weight back. Yet I also know the phen will last a little longer. It is expencive, at least for me it is. So what happens when you stop?

I take a break every weekend. Sometimes I won't take my phen on just Saturday or sometimes all weekend long. I don't raid the fridge on the first day, but on the second day my cravings start to come back pretty strong so I have to use will power to resist my temptations. It's good though because I feel more prepared for when I stop taking the phen for good. Atleast I know what to expect. Plus I like giving my body a phen break. You should try it for atleast a day and see how hungry you get.

if your body is in ketosis and you cheat for the weekend you will gain water weight back but it will also take you about 3 days to get back into ketosis. If you are going to cheat just do it for one meal and then go back to your diet.
If you are going nuts try sugar free jello and if you have to put a little cool whip on it. or you can get sugar free choclate or what ever your sweet tooth is. You could also get sugar free pudding and use fat free milk if you are doing no sugar no carbs make your pudding with heavy wippng cream.(fattening but much more rich) and no carbs if you use sugar free.
hope that helps. I get alot of tips from my friend she went from a size 16 to a size 5 in 3 months on atkins.

Hi christman

I break usually on Sundays. I am fine. Though I have also 'trained' my body to eat better while I am on phen, so that when the day comes that I stop Phen for good, I will do just fine and have plenty of good eating habits in place. If you are taking a full pill (of course if they are the scored 37.5's) maybe only take a half one day and see how that goes, or even a quarter.

If you just started the Phen, I wouldnt break for a day or weekend right now, get your new way of eating and exercising in good routine and know that your body is accepting of it and then break.

My scripts usually last me twice as long, as I will half the pills and take them by the halves instead of wholes. This is also how I wean, I dont stop just all of a sudden completely, I will split them and wean that way.

Remember drink plenty of water, it kicks the phen in full effect, and also curbs the hunger, and gives great energy. I try to get in atleast 100oz per day.

Let us know how it goes for you.

Hi Christman. I usually take the weekends off, the phen really effects my sleep during the week so I like to catch up on the weekends. Saturday I feel normal, just like I have taken the meds, Sunday I feel a bit run down and have some cravings. But since I know I'm more prone to munching when I'm home, I try to get out on Sundays where I'm not around temptations. Good luck to you!

Christman,

I've been on phen since March and have only skipped one or two days. I'm approaching the point where I will only be taking it 3 days a week per my doctor's orders. It will be considered a maintenance dose. The days that I did miss, I did not notice any cravings, but I was only off of them for one day at a time. Good luck. With or without phen, I know we can all reach our goals if we choose to eat healthier foods and incorporate physical activity into our lives.
