Exercise, a balanced diet, and establishing a positive relationship with food are often regarded as the first steps in fighting obesity. However, for many individuals, these measures prove insufficient. It is normal to need help while trying to lose weight, which is why weight loss medications are available to help support your efforts and improve your chances of succeeding on your weight loss journey. At Simply Slim Medical, phentermine can be prescribed to you as a weight loss solution.
Understanding Phentermine
The prescription drug phentermine decreases appetite, effectively supporting weight loss in obese patients. It is often prescribed on a short-term basis and as part of a comprehensive weight-loss program, especially when other standalone efforts have not been effective. Patients may take phentermine while following a diet or exercise plan, for example.
What Results Can I Expect from Phentermine
Patients can typically expect the following results from prescribed phentermine use:
Reducing the brain’s hunger signals: The brain tells you when you are hungry and full. When you are hungry, it can be hard to ignore those hunger pangs, which can lead to overeating if not well-controlled. Phentermine can help manage these signals, increasing your chance of sticking to your weight loss goals.
Feel full for extended periods of time: Phentermine can help your body feel full faster for longer amounts of time and on smaller quantities of food.
Boosted metabolism: Your metabolism plays a significant role in managing your weight. A slow metabolism can make it difficult to shed pounds and keep them off. Phentermine can provide a boost to your metabolism, in turn making it easier for you to lose weight once and for all.
The effects of phentermine can vary in patients. Some individuals may respond to phentermine right away, and others may need time before seeing results.
