Alright, so its been one week since the first Phentermine. I lost 3 lbs.
So this is how I approached week 1. Took Phentermine in AM along w/coffee. I set reminders to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and 3 snacks throughout the day. Previously I've been eating 1 big meal a day and snacking throughout the rest of the day. Sometimes not eating anything until around 7pm. Everthing I've read tells me thats a big mistake for weight loss, you need to eat to burn calories, blah blah blah.
A typical day was yogurt w/a handful of granola mixed in. A banana, cottage cheese w/apricots. A handful of almonds, 2 small burritos w/beans, cheese, salsa, a banana or an apple, maybe a cheesestick.
I definitely wasn't hungry, I was forcing myself to eat.
I gave an allowance of 1300 calories a day. I was drinking approx 40-50 oz of water. I was confused why I wasn't losing weight and I was still so tired. Reading the Phentermine message boards, people are losing like 12-15 lbs a week, and they have tons of energy.
Towards the end of the first week, I was mad I wasn't losing more weight, so yesterday I stopped forcing myself to eat and doubled my water intake. I lost 1 lb yesterday. Yes, I know, its water weight, but I feel like I need to flush out my body before I can start shedding real pounds.
So, my approach to week 2 is, take my vitamin and breakfast around 10AM, the Phentermine at 1PM. I'm going to try to push about 80-100 oz water per day.
Lets see how this goes.
