How many pounds per week do you lose on phentermine?

It really depends on the person. After taking it for 2 months I went from 151 lbs. to 118 lbs. (a size 12 to a 6) All I did was watch what I ate (low fat diet) and I did not excersize at all. That was two years ago. Of course I did not keep all of the weight off. Right now I weigh 130 lbs., which is fine with me. I try to eat foods that are low in fat and I cut out cokes and sweet tea and started to drink water or diet drinks.

The rule in weight loss is that in order to lose a pound of fat per week, you must eliminate 3,500 calories from your weekly intake-output. The best strategy to do this is to reduce your caloric intake by 250 calories a day, and exercise off 250 calories a day (500 multiplied by seven days in a week results in 3,500 burned off per week).\n\nThis is correct information as far as I know I listed the Mayo Clinic weblink with the answer. The first paragraph under step 5 says basically the same thing if you wanted a reference.

It takes 3,500 calories to equal one pound of body weight.  Generally, dieters dump an average of 1,000 calories per day in an effort to lose 2 pounds of body fat per week.  You should never go below 1,200 calories per day without your doctor's approval. If you are in need of losing a lot of weight, you may require more calories, so you'll definitely need to check in with your doctor before proceeding on any diet plan.

Most drugs are safe if taken within the guidelines laid down by the manufacturer. They've been approved by the fDA for safety and efficacy but weight lost drugs do have their down sides. I believe phentermine is actually for appetite supression so the drug itself isn't doing anything more than making you more able to regulate what goes into your body. So when you say how much weight you can lose it really depends on you but don't expect miracles unless you've been eating to an extreme extent. The real issue is diet and exercise. Also most weight loss drugs are suitable or tested for long term use. It helps you to get started on a healthier lifestyle but long term use is specifically unsuggested. I don't know about side effects but I'm sure there are lots of sites that can help with that.

You can expect probable heart damage. Please don't do it. There are other ways to lose weight. Phentermine has been linked with a number heart related deaths. Losing weight is a behavior change...a lifestyle change. When you do it without a crutch (like drugs or surgery) you're more apt to feel empowered and in control of yourself and your destiny; therefore, more successfully keeping the weight off.\n\nMany people don't realize that whatever they do to lose weight, they have to do it forever or their results won't last. These so-called metabolism boosting drugs are no different AND once you've taken them for a while, your body gets use to them and you either have to switch drugs or increase the dosage. Either way, this isn't good. \n\nA brief list of side effects: \n\nMild\nBlurred vision, dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset or constipation may occur the first few days as your body adjusts to the medication. Other adverse events include central nervous system effects, gastrointestinal disturbances, and changes in libido. Alcohol can increase unwanted side effects of dizziness. \n \nModerate\nChest pain, pounding heart, difficulty urinating, breathing difficulties or swelling while taking this medication \n \nSevere\nPrimary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) and cardiac valvular disease have been reported in patients receiving a combination of Phentermine and Fenfluramine (Phen-fen) or dexfenfluramine. The possibility of an association between PPH and the use of Phentermine alone cannot be ruled out. \n \n\nI've lost a little over 300 lbs NATURALLY. I've kept it off for 4 years. You CAN do this without drugs. \n\n\nI'd be happy to help you any way that I can. I've turned my life into one of health and fitness. It feels GREAT to know that I'm the one who did it and that I'm the one who can control it.\n\nFeel free to contact me. Click my user name and select "contact member." I'll respond promptly.

No way. Not unless you starve yourself and even then I don't think it's possible. The most you should lose in one month SAFELY is 8-10 pounds. That's about 2-3 pounds per week.

Remember how much you ate while on the phentermine and try to keep to that once you go off it. I'm about to go off mine after 3 months and I'm a little worried too about that.  Last time I was on it I didn't exercise or change my eating habits so I gained the weight back.  This time I was already exercising and restricting my food intake when I started on the pills.  So they were just kind of a leg-up with some extra weight loss.\n\nI work out 4 hours a week (3x a week for 80 minutes) and I eat slim-fast for 10 of my 19 meals every week.  I've lost about 35 lbs since February.

I have used Phentermine and I lost 25-30 lbs. in 6 months.  You have to get a doctor to give it to you but it is worth it.  I have found that any of the over the counter meds. don't work.

You CANNOT and you SHOULD NOT.. It is, generally speaking, NOT healthy to be losing more than 1 1/2 to 2 pounds a week.. I do not care what program you are on.. It just is NOT healthy. You have to(MUST MUST MUST) exercise.  and stay away from greasy, fatty foods.. eat  plenty of green vegetables (not peas) and fruits.

Phentermine can cause strokes & heart attacks.  You may become dependent on the drug.  Patients become very irritable.  I wouldn't recommend it for anyone.  There are other ways to lose weight.

Yes, I have lost 60 lbs using a combination of Adipex, diet (came from my doctor with the prescription discount card for the Adipex, and exercise (30-45 minutes 5 days a week on a recumbent bike plus strength training 2 days a week). My doctor is now tapering me off of the Adipex as it is intended for short term use only and I am now at my goal weight (125 lbs!!!) \n\n\nEveryone is different but the side effects I had were increased thirst, trouble sleeping the first 2 weeks (I now take my pill earlier in the day and I sleep like a baby), mild constipation the first three weeks (Make sure you get enough fiber in your diet, it really helps).\n\nOverall, I feel really great on the Adipex. It really kills your appetite, so make sure you eat. I joined an online support group of phentermine (generic Adipex) users and it was obvious that the ones who have the most trouble are the ones who are not eating hardly anything at all. The one's who don't eat start losing their hair, and their skin breaks out; they have no energy, get severe mood swings and headaches, etc. These are side effects of starvation not Adipex use. So please follow a balanced diet and eat at least 1200 calories a day. \n\nI would not buy Adipex or phentermine on-line either. Find a weight loss doctor, he will give you a program tailored to you and monitor your progress each month, and answer all of your questions, and help you to keep the weight off once you get off of the Adipex. Also the Adipex is cheaper at your local pharmacy than on-line ($30-40/month instead of $80-120). The doctor can give you a card so that you never pay over $46.10 for the Adipex at your pharmacy. My doctor charges $25 for the visit each month, and I pay $35 at the pharmacy. A friend of mine, who is also seeing the same doctor, gets hers for $10 because her insurance covers this medication. \n\nGood luck. I am living proof that you can succeed, and achieve your weight loss goals. Now go buy that bikini!!!

You can't lose one pound of fat in a day. It takes 3500 calories to gain or lose a pound of fat. That is why it is a good idea to try to lose only 500 calories a day. That way, in one week, you will lose one pound. This way, you can eat healthy and still lose weight. It's all about eating right and exercising. There is no magic pill. It takes time and effort.

I don't know, but what I do know is that I go to a diet doctor every 2 weeks and I get a shot of vitamin B12 and a 2 weeks supply of phentermine pills and they are awesome!! They give you energy and you really lose weight! I'v lost a total of 15lbs in the past 3 weeks! I have to go back this week to see if I've lost more.\nIt costs me $55 to sign up and $30 every 2 weeks until I reach my goal.

If you really believe in the best believe in "Phentermine. You can’t get a better solution for weight loss; phentermine is fast, effectual and safe. Its is the largest selling drug for weight loss and that’s enough to prove its efficacy. I am a user of phentermine and I bet dear no other drug can even come closer to Phentermine. I have got its information through net and then consulted it with doctor you can also check it out...

It varies from person to person, people do not lose at the same rate. the first week is usually a 3-6 pound weight loss and then 1-2 pounds a week.  Sometime more sometimes less, all people have different metabolisms and it depends also on how much activity or exercise you do it's a healthy program, go to a meeting and see.
