Hunger in head: Ssri's are a class of antidepressants which also trigger a hunger pathway in the brain. Some bariatricians are looking forward to using wellbutrin (bupropion) and Naltrexone for patients (after approved by fda. This new combination would directly reduce those same hunger hormones.

Ive been working out (boxing and Pilates), as well as walking for 3 weeks. Ive always had a very poor metabolism (or at least difficulty losing weight), but I havent lost even one pound. I am fine with slow progress, but not zero progress. My concern is that I might not be taking in enough calories for my size. Im 56 and 291 pounds. Ive been eating between 950-1100 calories a day. Thanks for your help. Nutrition concern?
