"i have been taking phentremine for 2 weeks now and in the first week i lost 9 1/2 lbs. i absolutely love this pill. it has helped me control my cravings, so that i don&#039;t feel hungry anymore. i am also on a diet plan, where i eat no bread, rice,crackers,potatoes,carrots,brown rice,tortillas, pita...etc. basically anything that has a lot of starch. i have energy and feel really happy, i have been doing squats and lunges, although this week i have slacked, but i have been faithful to my diet."
