Is it best to calorie count and what time do you take yours? ThanksThe idea isn’t that you don’t eat on this, it’s not medicated starvation. The idea is you stay fuller for longer and reduce your calorie in take.
You should still be eating. I’m on week 2 of 7.5mg. I eat two meals a day as I rarely eat breakfast and perhaps a snack if I get hungry. About 1200-1400 calories on average and I’m 26lbs down.
Don't take it if you are taking it as a short term fix. It probably won't start working until you are on 1mg, that means you'll have been on it for over 8 weeks before it starts to work. That is how it's supposed to work.unfortunately some of us can’t afford to wait 12 weeks to even have any suggestion that it’s workingI’m by no means expecting an instant fix (the weight didn’t go on instantly and won’t come off instantly!) but if I don’t have some indication that I haven’t just been injecting myself with saline after the first four weeks I don’t think I could justify the, to me, huge expense of buying the next month. Some indication of it working doesn’t even need to be weight loss it could even be unpleasant side effects - just some indication that it’s getting into my system and doing something, you know?

I was on it for 18 months I've stopped taking it now and not put any weight back on thankfully but I am calorie counting. I lost 4 stone but it only started working when I was on 1mg, so it didn't work for 2 - 3 months which I was totally happy with as that's what the instructions said.I get the cost been prohibitive but this is a long term project. Anything I read says stop and the weight returns
I loosely calorie count, but I’m not really monitoring it. I take mine on a Monday morning when I’m getting ready for work.Is it best to calorie count and what time do you take yours? Thanks
Awww no, don’t ever apologise for sharing your journey and being honest about it. It’s brilliant you’ve had early losses and the medication has worked quickly.Sorry, I'm probably setting a bad example by posting my early losses. It just seemed to work for me quickly. Mainly as it stopped me snacking and put me off alcohol.
