@sophia07- When I couldn't lose weight, for another reason I wound up having to consume more calories than before I dieted. It is so very very frustrating. Just to touch on your weight loss 1000 calories a day is not enough calories to sustain weight loss at all. You need to eat at a minimum of 1200 calories a day. Pleae, I am not saying that the medicine doesn't make you gain weight, but if you are trying to lose it you actually have to eat enough to help burn off calories.

Hi,
I have to disagree Mary. My dad’s doctor put him on a 700 cal a day diet and my mom and I were overweight to at the time so we joined him. That was back in the day when I didn’t mind cooking, good thing to, everything had to be measured and weighed and it was a major pain to prepare. But it was very successful. None of us ever had any cravings, we were never hungry and we ate from every food group including deserts and lost a substantial amount of weight. It was ordered by my dad’s physical medicine doctor.

I am working on increasing “right” caloric intake and working with a nutritionalist. Thank you for your advice with this I truly appreciate it.
