"i am doing adipex as well as medifast. medifast is hard to stay in fat burn state because i cheat now and then, but now with adipex added i have no cravings or urge to eat until the end of the day and since it&#039;s been working so well i choose healthy meals. i started at 161 on oct. 26, 2015 and today nov. 2, 2015 i&#039;m already down to 157. my doctor said i am not obese but i am overweight due to pcos. pcos is awful trying to loose weight and so far the adipex is the only steady thing that fits my lifestyle. i don&#039;t always have time to meal prep which is also why medifast is great. 100 calories 5 times a day and 1 lean and green meal that adds up to around 300-400 calories so 800-900 calories a day. i split the pill half in the am and half @ 12"
