Only one approved!: Phentermine is a moderate stimulant and also an anorexant. This currently the only drug approved. New new delayed-release topomax/Phentermine drug does not do this and contains a much lower dose of phenetermine!

Avoid miracle pills: Use tried & true techniques for weight loss: healthful diet (lean protein, good fats, low gycemic carbs, fruits & veggies, whole grains, low-fat dairy. Avoid sugary foods & drinks; avoid chemical sweeteners (equal, etc; stevia ok). Avoid fast foods. Exercise 30 min a day. Control size of portions. Choose diet u can follow for life.
