"i love belviq! i am just starting my 4th week and have lost 13 lbs but more important i have lost a total of 10 1/2 inches from chest, waist and hips. i feel better, i look better and best of all...no side effects!!! belviq has helped me curb all my cravings! i have cut out pop, sugar, fast food and most dairy. when i do eat, i am very satisfied on very little. my daily calorie intake is 1200 or below. now i just need to find time to exercise. oh and one good side effect is that i sleep like a baby!!! and maybe it does make me a little thirsty but that&#039;s okay cuz water is so important to weighthe loss. i try to drink at least 80 oz of water a day. did i mention i love belviq? well i really do! looking forward to losing 50 more lbs!"
