[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adding - last night I had grilled chicken, sauteed vegetables and rice for dinner. Normally I would consider that an extreme deprivation kind of dinner. I would think that I would much rather have, like, General Tso chicken. But last night, on these meds, that healthy dinner was perfectly fine. I didn't eat it passionately (haven't really eaten anything passionately since starting the shots), but I enjoyed it, and felt full. I'm hoping that after a few months of living this way, I can get back to eating that way the majority of the time, and not consider it "being good" and thus be at risk of feeling deprived and making up for that with a binge. Without my messed up mind and hunger screwing things up, I'm just eating for nutrition and not to satisfy my crazed cravings.

Remains to be seen whether my crazy, unhealthy mind comes roaring back after I stop the shots. I hope that in some way my mind is healed through this. :([/quote]

Thanks for sharing, OP.  I for one am interested to hear about your experience.

My main concern with using these drugs is the loss of bone and muscle mass; I hope you are doing a lot of strength training, which I'm sure is hard to do when you're forcing yourself to eat 1000 calories a day.  My elderly aunt lost a lot of weight on one of these drugs and has kept it off after stopping, but she looks very frail.[/quote]
It’s not hard. I consume 1200-1400 calories a day (the deficit calories for me, 5’4” female, 140 lbs) and I eat high volume low calorie food so big salads with chicken beans and tons of veggies, soups, egg white omelets etc and I strength train 3x week plus other workouts. [/quote]
