Phentermine + diet and exercise

To repeat the standard warning: taking phentermine on its own will not change your weight. It only works when combined with diet and physical exercise. The second warning is not to follow one of the fad diets. There is no scientific evidence that any of the latest, heavily advertised books has any real effect. You should discuss the plan of action with your local healthcare provider. Hopefully, you can also talk with a nutritionist who will plan something positive for you given your age, current weight and health, lifestyle and personal preferences.

Dieting is not simply a question of eating less, although smaller portions are a good thing in their own right. You need to change the type of food you eat so that it reduces the fat content and the number of calories. You should be aiming for a net-loss calorie intake. There is a scientific approach to calculating your minimum daily calorie needs. Once that number is established, you should then eat less than that. The idea is that your body will then burn the fat in your body to make up the lost intake. To increase the rate at which your body burns the stored fat, you should also increase your activity level. You can start with brisk walking and then move on to more demanding exercise.

As you eat less food of the type your body is used to, the stomach will signal “emptiness” to the brain. That is translated into hunger. This may not be something you have experienced. Many people not only eat large meals but also snack during the day and so never feel hungry. Phentermine disrupts this message and leaves people able to eat less and not feel hunger pangs. With this drug’s help, you can keep your motivation going for longer and burn more stored fat.
