Hi guys! I'm new here and to Phen..it is my 4th day today and i'm pretty excited about the prospect of the program. I must admit when I got the booklet from the clinic and read what I was to eat, I was thinking "dude, I'm gonna starve" but nope not a bit..I do think I may need to increase the dosage next visit they've got me on one pill each meal, but dinner time i'm starving. no sleep issues, no other side effects either. the other exciting thing for me was I tested today and was in some serious Ketosis so that makes me thrilled because I've tried Atkins before and not been able to get my body to get there before. (i'd always cheat with something sweet or a carb) the phen seems to keep that at bay..well I just wanted to share. I hope to see all the wonderful results that you guys have when I go on Thursday for my weigh in..(that'll be 8 days)

What dosage are you on? Are you on Phen or Phen-D? One pill each meal sounds like a lot for just phen...

Hi and welcome to the phen forum. I am on the 30mg and I take it twice per day. The first one in the morning on an empty stomach and the next one around 2 pm. My doctor increased my second dosage because I was starving later in the day. After he reviewed my workouts and food journals he determined that I can up my dosage because of my energy expenditures. Good luck to you on your weight loss.

hey there...i think we are on the same program...just by you talking about the ketosis...is it a MEDI clinic?...lean protein...low carbs, low to no sugar?....GOOD LUCK with whatever you are doing!!!!

the bottle says 35 mg so I assume that's each pill, but it says take 1-2 pill before each meal so i'm not sure.

I'm at a First Impression Weight Loss clinic. and yes their food plan is lean protein for the first 3 days only and then add veggies, fruit after 2 weeks, no dairy or cheese (which i'll miss and don't understand ) and lots of water. they've also got me taking a calcium pyruvate supplement 2 times a day after lunch and dinner. This is in addition to the B-12 injeciton.

I'm on a similar program. 35mg of Phen D 2 pills 3 times a day, calcium pyruvate 2 pills twice a day, prental vitamins and also a Weekly MIC injection. 10 servings of protein only until ketosis(hopefully thats today). Then I can add 2-4 fruits and vegs. I'm def allowed to have cheese though.
