"i discussed this medication with my doctor after a friends good experience. docs concern was that i would gain it back when off the medication but agreed to write it if i could show him i was implementing the necessary life style changes to maintain a healthy weight. he recommended the lose it app to monitor my calories, that alone was enlightening. i found i was at my daily calorie limit before lunch due to some bad choices, fast food breakfast and lunch, by dinner and snacks  i was off the charts -found i was eating over 5000 calories a day. i could not have done it without belviq, i find i eat now for energy and have a choice to eat the best energy. willpower pill."
