Phentermine and why some think it does not work.

[RickC]

We all know it as phen but it's real name is phenyltertiarybutylamine,what a name huh.

What are some of the reasons why phen does not work for us.

1.Your not getting enough calories a day.

If you dont eat enough calories your body will not have the fuel to to maintain itself,it will start using the muscle for fuel and thats bad news,muscle is replaced very slowly while we gain fat at a much faster rate.

2.Im talking a pill for weight loss,why do I have to exercise.

Exercise is an excellent way to increase and maintain a healthy metabolism,do what you can just keep active,a good metabolism is key in keeping our weight loss flowing,when metabolism slows too much a plateau can occur,speed your metabolism up and you will start losing again.

3.I dont like water it's nasty i want my sodas and sugar tea.

Water does many thing in the body,when your body breaks down fat and muscle for fuel it produces toxins in your body,water flushes these out of your body,water has also been know to help burn more calories,one study showed that drinking plenty of water could help burn 50-75 more calories.

4. Well I forgot to take my pill or I only take it when I need it.

Very simple phen cant work if it's not in your system,you need to take it everyday to keep it at full strength.

5. It's not working I think I have build up a tolerence to phen.

While it's possible to build a tolerence to any drug,more than likely whats happening is your missing the side affects and thinking it's not working.

While daily diet plans will vary from person to person the principle to weight loss is the same.

Thanks Rick. The part about the side effects was the question I was asking myself just yesterday. Thanks again.

[RickC]

I didnt include anything about the side effects,although that probably would be a good idea.

[JustKim]

Amazingly, you posted that on a day that I really needed to read it. Thanks!

[AloneNFat]

I wasnt aware of #5,thanks rick.

[RickC]

I wasnt aware of #5,thanks rick.

Theres a lot of controversy on the tolerance theory,I think it really depends on the person,the body chemistry and the drug.

Oops, I ment the tolerance part.

[BronzyBella]

Excellent post Rick!!! Thanks

[benson012094]

I'm #4. I don't take it every day. (Which could be why I am stalled.)

[bribaby1]

it really bothers me when people are so focused on loosing weight. that they think only a diet and pill will work.

i mean it will.
but come on! "i dont have enough time to exersice"
is just.... bullsh**

10-15 minutes a day is better then none.



i mean i used to be so lazy and never want to exersice
but you get addicted to it.

if you want to loose weight.
fully commit, dont just half-arse it.



i hope alot of people read your post.
it should help people out alot.

This was the only reason I had for not continuing it. I don't understand about missing the side effects, though. The only side effects I experienced when I first started was a little dizziness, but that went away in the first 2-3 days. My hunger came back after 6 days and stayed, so I don't really know why my body didn't react to phen like it should.

I dont know why it wasnt working for you Lori,my wife has had the same problem with antibiotics,theres only three that really does her any good,I know tolerance does happen,but i dont think it's as common as people think.

Great post Rick. Thanks for taking the time to post it!

[RickC]

It doesnt really matter about presenting the information,misconceptions will always prevent some form following the correct path,there are just too many facets of weight loss to cover in a single thread,and I dont even want to try,I am no expert in weight loss my knowlage is in the medications used to treat obesity.
