You know, you really are correct. No matter what it still boils down to eating less than you burn. So, exercise is the #1 key; for me low carbs worked well for my body type. I can eat chicken, turkey and green salads/green veggies every day and dont' miss the fruit and breads (well ... when I'm being good). but, as my younger sons says "when you going back on your diet mom?" I am exercising at least ...
Thanks for the feedback-Patti
> I've been on Wellbutrin for nearly two years now. Overall, I've lost about 5-10 lbs. but I've also made other changes, like I've become a serious runner. I lost all the weight in my first year on Wellbutrin (but I had other medical problems that could account for weight loss too.) I think Wellbutrin's effects on appetite wear off after about 6 months, as your body gets used to the drug. I am skeptical of any pills for weight loss. Your body will adjust to anything. I'm back to the same overeating that I did pre-Wellbutrin.
