Can the Atkins plan be followed along with the use of the prescription Meridia
for weight loss? Or should one be on a low fat diet and use Meridia? |

Well, since you asked, the correct answer is to skip the Meridia and eat less. Choose whatever menu makes you feel best on the appropriate amount of calories. I recommend you read the Zone diet, "Eat, Drink & Be Healthy" and stuff about the glycemic index before you buy in to the Atkins phenomenon. Don't do anything to your body just because a diet guru got you to pay him money to tell you his trick. Feed your body the way it needs to be fed (and understand why) and you'll be fine. Dally |

ATKINS & MERIDIA
What does your doctor say?
You know all the ads for Meridia say you have to exercise and follow a reduced calorie plan. The same things without Meridia will also result in weight loss. Why are you spending all that money on Meridia? "Jphillips8" wrote in message ... Can the Atkins plan be followed along with the use of the prescription Meridia for weight loss?

Yes, I know right now you don't believe that claim. It is true no matter that you don't believe it. So there is no point to using Meridia while on Atkins. There's hunger in the first week or so and if you want to try it then okay, but after the first week you may as well be taking placebo tablets. Or should one be on a low fat diet and use Meridia? Try running that one the other way around. Most people (not all) who do low fat end up hungry, being on low fat makes Meridia useful. If you think Meridia is useful because you've used it on low fat plans before, that experience does not apply. |

What is Meridia? It is a prescription medication that reduces appetite. Since ketosis reduces appetite, it is unneeded on any low carb plan that includes ketosis. Most non-ketotic low carb plans also reduce appetite to some extent and so it is also of very little use on them. Simply put, it deals with a problem that exists on other types of plans. The OP just plain doesn't believe the claims that low carbing reduces appetite, so the OP is searching for a brute-force fix to a problem that doesn't exist. |
