    I am glad that you lost the weight.

    Allthough it is very good to lose unwanted and unnecessery weight, I think it is more important how you lose it then the fact that you have lost it.

    The reason for the 'how' to be important is that this how reveals the true problem the weight is there in the first place.

    Losing weight through correct diet and excercise is an indication that the person understood what the real problem in the first place was, namely wrong diet and lack of excercise, and has effectively changed that for the good.

    Losing weight in other ways that are mostly facilitated through medication will in some cases bring the same results but will not adress the real problem underneath (such factors as motivation, knowledge, consistency).

    Also losing weight without knowledge of the body and diet will produce less total weight, but the qualitative results will be a lot less then when using correct methods to lose weight and preserve muscle.

    In many cases the subject, once off treatment, will continue doing the same as before because this root problem has not been adressed.

    It is like a see-saw, the person is in the middle and there are two compounds doing the work ('weight off' on one side and 'muscle preservation' on other).

    The results will be that the total weight of the see-saw will be lowered but the person wil remain unchanged.

    Good read..the doctor who I am under see's it as a way not only to aid in weight loss but to also retrain your brain. On this I can't even look at junk food, it just smells and seems like crap. I do not know how it effects the mind, but I have no desire to eat anything junk food related. The real test will be when I taper off it, but I can say smelling junk food at this time makes me sick. I have been eating tuna right out of the can and its yummy, were a year ago I thought it was gross.
