Phentermine
Are over-the-counter solutions not moving the scale for you? Adding phentermine could give sluggish weight loss efforts the surge they need. As an appetite suppressant, phentermine facilitates diet compliance and raises fat-burning to boost results. Phentermine must be used short-term but can help establish the habits for long-term improvement. As one of the most widely prescribed anti-obesity drugs, phentermine has helped millions successfully slim down over the past 50+ years.
Clinical trials show using phentermine for weight loss yields over 5% more reduction in body weight on average compared to placebos when combined with lifestyle intervention. Over 12 weeks, patients can expect to lose 6-10% of their excess body weight with phentermine 30mg daily, boosted to 10-14% excess weight loss at one year. Clinical trials display an average of 50% more weight reduction than lifestyle changes alone when combined appropriately.
What sets phentermine apart from countless fad diets and over-the-counter products is how powerfully it tamps down the urge to overeat all day long. Patients find fighting intense hunger and cravings that undermine their hard work becomes much easier with phentermine’s reliable hunger suppression.
How Phentermine Promotes Fat Burning
Phentermine is a sympathetic amine that works primarily by activating your fight-or-flight response to suppress appetite and up metabolism. It stimulates the release of norepinephrine and dopamine while blocking reuptake, keeping these energizing chemicals elevated to sustain effects on resting metabolic rate and eating behavior.
MORE SPECIFICALLY, PHENTERMINE LEADS TO WEIGHT LOSS VIA SEVERAL KEY MECHANISMS.
Appetite Suppression
Direct action on the hypothalamic appetite control center results in up to 60% reduction in calorie intake for most patients due to decreased hunger/cravings. This facilitates compliance with lower-calorie meals/snacks.
Increased Thermogenesis
Higher norepinephrine and dopamine levels ramp up fat-burning by augmenting lipolysis and oxidation, especially visceral adipose tissue. This is what accounts for the common side effect of feeling hot when taking phentermine, as your body generates more heat while burning extra calories.
Favorable Hormone Effects
Phentermine counteracts the weight loss plateauing effects of declining leptin and thyroid hormones by normalizing/boosting levels to improve metabolic regulation. Increased insulin sensitivity also enables efficient nutrient partitioning for fueling the body instead of storing excess calories.
Motivation Enhancement
Boosts in dopamine and norepinephrine also improve symptoms like fatigue and mood, providing mental energy/motivation essential for active weight loss efforts.
Through these sympathomimetic effects, phentermine facilitates losing weight with lifestyle changes better than attempting either strategy alone.
