I am eating 1500 calories a day I weighed 165 before using phen I lost 8 lbs the first week I am on my second week and it looks good. But 600 calories a day is wayyyyy toooo low. Your body needs energy you need to eat at least 1200 calories a day. Your body will do the same thing if you eat to less as if you eat too much your metabolism will slooow down and hord the fat. You loose muscle when you eat this way and not the fat and that is the oppostite of what you want to do, because the more muscle you have the more fat you burn even when you sleep. You need to eat to loose weight. The Phen is great, because if you are anything like me I can have seconds at the table, and when I am on a diet I seem hungry all the time the Phen takes the hunger pains away, and I haven't been craving Dr. Pepper or Mc Donalds. I basicly cut out all soda and watching my calorie intake (I eat at least 1500 calories a day). I am doing the slim-fast thing I have a shake for breakfast and lunch and they have these really good slim fast meal bars (chocalate chip cookie dough is my favorite) I will have a slim fast bar for snack between breakfast and lunch and another one between lunch and dinner (this here is about 880 calories) and then I have a dinner that is no more than 500-600 calories. I like frozen dinners because it takes the guess work out for me with portions and if anyone has ever had a banquet frozen dinner the portions are small, and when I give myself a portion it is triple that. I never could stick with the slimfast diet before because I was always hungry and now I can do it with the help of Phen. Also when you eat 5-6 small meals a day this also speeds up your metabolism. I drink 6 liters of water a day too. This is just how I do it, but if you want to have weight loss you need to fuel your body. You need to eat more!
