Just reiterating. Please make sure you are maintaining a consistent workout program while taking these meds. These things take a decent chunk of lean body mass for the weight loss as well so you want to be training to help maintain your strength.

How much daily protein should we target? 1g per lb is what I've seen but there's no way I'm hitting that target. I assume it's lower if you have a BMI over 30. More of 1g per lb lean body mass might make more sense?
Eat 1/2 portions, high protein, high fiber, take a multivitamin. Slow down your eating pace significantly or you will overeat and feel horribly bloated.AggieMainland said:
