Dealing with Plateaus While Using Phentermine
Finn Kelly
I had great initial results with Phentermine, losing about 8 pounds in the first month. But now my weight loss has completely stalled for two weeks, even though I'm still taking it and watching my diet. Is this normal? What can I do to get things moving again?

Yes, this is a very common experience and can be frustrating. The initial rapid loss is often due to water weight, and your body may have adapted. First, don't get discouraged. This is a good time to reassess: are you accurately tracking your calories? As you lose weight, your calorie needs decrease. You might need to adjust your intake slightly or change up your exercise routine to challenge your body in new ways. Sometimes, a short diet break where you eat at maintenance calories for a few days can help reset things.
