You like alot of cheese. Is that full fat cheese with all the saturated fats? Do you eat any fruit or veggies other than the one serving of peas? That can of olives is alot of calories too. Did you know wheat because of it insoluable fiber is a high glycemic food (equal to white bread) that will make you hungry faster than if you had a low glycemic bread or no bread at all.

Instead of a pill try eating low glycemic meals for a while. Add veggies where ever you can. They are low calorie. For breakfast make egg whites or tufu with vegetables (spinach, garlic, onions, brocolie, cauliflower, salsa) serve with slices of tomato and a some berries or other fruit. Make long cooked oatmeal and add a apple and cinamon and raw nuts. For Lunch if you start with a low cal vegetable soup or miso soup it cuts the hunger. Try eating something that does not have bread. Make a huge salad with all the goodies. Beans, red peppers, baked tortilla strips, avacado, what ever you like. Put grilled chicken or fish on it if you want. For dinner put your chicken on a bed of whole grain pasta with veggies. I love sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, broclie and carrots. Stock up on some fresh herbs to add intrest. Make a healthy pesto. add 5 olives not a can. Steam some more veggies on the side and more fruit. Have a healthy snack or desert. My favorite is a apple rhuebarb crisp.

Also try logging your food on Fitday.com. See if your eating enough. Are You getting the 25 plus grams of fiber a day that you need to help keep you full and healthy? I shoot for about 40 grams of fiber with a good part of it from soluable fiber to balance my blood sugar.

My doctor prescribed me to Phentermine. It's a prescription appetite suppresant and it does work fairly well; I usually take 1/2 a pill instead of the entire thing because it can make me somewhat jittery.

i asked my doctor for some Phentermine but he didnt feel comfortable giving it to me why idk but my weight gaining is making me miserable

I agree with Cinnamint...try to get more fiber and are you drinking enough water? You should be drinking 1/2 your body water in oz each day. For example if you weight 200# - drink 100 oz of water.

From what I saw on the news Hydroxycut was taken off the market. Your best bet is to talk to your doctor.

What ever you do don't use Hydroxycut, there is a big recall on it, I bought some and was using it, but took it back to the store I got it from and got my money back. Right now I am using xenadrine for women and just started it 3 days ago, so not sure if its working yet, but I'll let you know.

No, there are not any safe diet pills. Besides which, as soon as you stop taking them, your appetite and weight will return.

Not only no, but H#(( no...no pills. And the salt from the olives will make you puff up tomorrow, ya know.

Usually, a voracious appetite and yen for salty foods just means...here comes your monthly visitor...you will just have to fill up on the appropriate stuff right now and this too shall pass...

I feel your pain...I wish it was easier too!

I agree with cinnamint
your eating too much dairy and animal products and not enough fruits and vegetables!
