Subject: I Get by with a little help from ...

I read a lot of website forums and just want to give some input to those I see struggling with this WOE at the beginning-middle-whenever. There is NOTHING wrong with some assistance chemically. My doctor prescribes Wellbutrin and it is a Godsend. It stops the cravings (it actually was used as a stop-smoking drug originally). It is NOT an amphetimine. You feel nothing. No buzz, no shaking, etc. Sometimes I forget if I've taken it today or not. It has no effects on you other than stopping those cravings. It helps you get over that initial withdrawal from carbs and all the things you miss eating. My doctor is thrilled with my results. BP down, Cholesterol down. Mood and energy up by 1000%. My sister sees a well known Dr. here in our town who does NOTHING but weight loss treatment and advocates Wellbutrin as an assist. We are walking 3 miles a day and limit eating 30-40 carbs per day. This just gives you that extra help and we all need help or we wouldn't be doing this. I've lost 30 pounds since March 27th and feel like a new person. From size 16- size 12. My goal is a size 10 so not too far off. We just got back from a family vacation in Florida, ate good sometimes and really bad others and both lost 2 pounds while there!!! Just thought I'd offer this out there. talk to your doctor and see what he/she thinks. Anything to help you succeed. I should own stock in this stuff, I am such an advocate for it! My sister and I are lucky our health insurance covers it. If not, it is pretty expensive. But I'd pay it myself if I had to (which I did the first month $94.00). Anyway, I'm sure there are those who will be down on this but remember, there are those who badmouth the low carb WOE, so I say to each his own, and don't knock it til you try it!
