Hi,

M 34, 158kg, 180cm.

First day on Duromine 40mg tabs, no hunger feelings all day, little hard to sleep as you can see awake at 1130pm.

Would love any pointers on eating and exercise routine while taking duromine.

Will keep updated with progress.

Cheers

Hi Gio!

Good work on taking the control back and taking your first positive steps!
Remember to eat your 3 meals at least while keeping your tabs on your exercise. I was busy for about a week when I realised I was hungry and figured that I hadn't eaten in about 2 days. Not good.

So, I am F 23 started at 127.6kg and am 182cm.
I have been on Duromine for around 7 weeks and have dropped 17.3kg.

Here is a basic day for me, I hope you find some pointers there:

Between 5:30 and 6:00am - Take Duromine.
Snooze until 6:30 or 7:00am

Breakfast is an egg white omelet on chia bread, cup of coffee (1 sugar and skim) and multivitamin.
Lunch is a bag of steam veggies with basic seasoning (I also leave the office for a 1km walk/jog)

After work I have a LeRice snack and a 2-4km walk/jog.
If I still have it in me, I go do a half hour of weights at the gym on my way home. Most of the time I don't.

Dinner is a small serve of cous cous and about 50g of lightly seasoned meat or fish.

I have found the trick to sleeping is doing your exercise in the latter part of the day.
During any one day, I will drink between 2L and 3L of water.

Cous cous is hands down my favourite thing to eat. There are heaps of recipes online, another favorite being a Cannellini Bean and Lemon Salad Cannellini Bean And Lemon Salad Recipe - Taste.com.au - I add some tomato and basil to spice things up! Yum!

Anyway, good luck and I look forward to reading of your success.

Hi Laura,

Thanks for the advice.

First day was a killer, didn't get to sleep till 3am and was awake at 7am. Feeling tired now.

17kg in 7 weeks, WOW. I will be happy if I have your success.

Look forward to letting you know my wins!
