A Lifestyle of Overeating:
Gradual Weight Gain
To lose weight, the opposite is true; One must eat a diet with fewer calories than the body needs each day. Under-eating creates what we call a ‘calorie deficit’. When there is a calorie deficit, it forces the body to burn stored fat for energy, resulting in weight loss!
A Lifestyle of Overeating:
Why do I need an appetite suppressant to lose weight?
The body’s natural response to eating fewer calories is to increase the appetite. Of course, when appetite increases, dieting becomes a real challenge. In fact, the number one reason people quit dieting is hunger! This begs the question: Wouldn’t it be nice to have a medication that controls hunger?
Introducing Phentermine
The leader among Appetite suppressants!
Phentermine is an FDA-approved, once-daily diet pill known to aid in weight loss by suppressing appetite. Phentermine is a stimulant and appetite suppressant available only with a doctor’s prescription. It is probably the most well-known weight loss medication. It can also be prescribed under brand names including Adipex-P, Lomaira, and Suprenza. However, there is no chemical or functional difference between generic and brand-name versions.
Although phentermine was FDA-approved over 60 years ago, it was not until the 1990s that it gained in popularity. Today phentermine remains one of the most prescribed weight loss drugs in the world due to its relative safety and efficacy! In other words, phentermine is a safe and effective way to decrease hunger while dieting!
How much weight can I expect to lose using Phentermine?
Because everyone is different, there’s no way to be certain. However, on average, patients at Solutions Weight Loss Orlando, FL tend to lose about 15 lbs the first month and 10 lbs each month thereafter. Phentermine is not a miracle drug. Therefore success depends on compliance with diet and recommended activity.
Several medical studies have found that even short term phentermine administration induced significant weight reduction and waist circumference without clinically problematic adverse events in relatively healthy obese people.
How is Phentermine Taken?
The standard dose of phentermine is 37.5mg daily. Phentermine may be taking once daily in the morning or one may take 1/2 tablet before breakfast and 1/2 tablet before lunch. One should avoid taking phentermine after 2pm to avoid trouble sleeping.
How Long Can Phentermine Be Used To Lose Weight?
As long as a patient is making steady progress toward their weight loss goal, phentermine may be prescribed for extended periods of time. This decision is at the doctors discretion if the benefits of phentermine outweighs the risk of ongoing obesity. Keep in mind, however, the effects of the medication will decrease if the medication is taken for more than 1 year.
Nonetheless, after three months of treatment, your physician may suggest you stop taking the medication if you haven’t seen significant weight loss.

How do weight loss clinics determine if phentermine is right for you?
If your physician has determined that you continue to suffer from obesity (a BMI of 30 or more) despite improving your diet and exercise, you may be given phentermine, which is the first line of treatment for obesity. Alternatively, if you have a BMI of 27 or higher and you have at least one weight-related health problem, such as mild to moderate, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes you may also be prescribed phentermine. The goal of weight loss is to reduce the risk of heart disease in obese adults.
However, you cannot take phentermine if you are pregnant, breast-feeding, have glaucoma, an overactive thyroid, severe untreated blood pressure or heart disease. These conditions combined with appetite suppressant may have serious side effects.
Ultimately, there is no “one-size-fits-all”. At Solutions Weight Loss Orlando FL, Dr. Newsome will assess your unique situation to determine if phentermine is appropriate for you.
