"i began taking phentermine on december 2nd, 2013. i also began the paleo diet at that time. i truly believe that i couldn&#039;t have maintained the diet without phentermine. i have no cravings for pizza, burgers and such. i allow myself 1 day every 2 weeks to eat whatever i please and it&#039;s hard to shovel in an unhealthy amount of food. i&#039;m a 48 year old male and weighed approximately 178 lbs when i began. as of january 28th, 2014 i weigh 158 lbs, just 5 lbs shy of high school skinny. i go to the gym 5-6 times per week. i lift weights and do hiit (high intensity interval training). when i look in the mirror i&#039;m very pleased with my appearance. not to sound boastful, but i look damn good for a man my age. my 30 - year class reunion is in 3months"
