Too fat: I recommend the DASH eating plan. Go to Nih.gov and read about it and ask your Dr if ok for you. My record patient weight loss is 140 lbs. Just do the DASH like your life depended on it.

Duromine: Phentermine (Duromine) can be effective for weight loss but if you don't make lifestyle changes (like healthy diet and exercise) that weight will likely return.
