"i recently lost 45lbs through diet and exercise in a 4 mo. period.  i cut out all the sweets (which was extremely hard) and started drinking only water, unsweetened tea and sparkling water.  i would have a mini-cheat day on sundays and allow myself a burger or a slice of cheesecake.  however, the weight has slowly started to creep back on - with my travel schedule, i have been going to the gym less (was 5x a week) and eating later at night.  my doctor prescribed contrave and i have been taking it for 5 days.  i read the reviews and how it cause a lot of people to be nauseous. so i take it in the morning around 6:30 am with a low-fat greek yogurt and 4 saltine crackers.  it works for me and i only feel a little dizzy at times - not major for me!"
