"i&#039;ve been taking 75 mg of tenuate for 4 months now and have lost a total of 40 lbs and intend to lose another 15. i dropped the most weight during the first 2 months and then slowly added a few more calories to my diet to slow down the weight loss and back off the pills so that i don&#039;t put more weight back on when i&#039;m totally off them.  it takes discipline and i now eat lots of fruits and vegetables. this pill is really amazing and you do have to sometimes remind yourself to eat. there are some days (when i don&#039;t take the pill) that i feel hungry and eat more so i always try to eat less the next day. so far that&#039;s working. since i&#039;m 60 yrs old my dr. has been monitoring me very carefully but i&#039;ve had no issues whatsoever."
