After 3 years on prescription meds with no hunger



My quest for normal arteries on high 60% fat diet (Atkins)


Body Composition Data since starting diet meds


4 electrode scale





I have been on Atkins or LCHF (low carb high fat) since Jan 2011.
I have not lost weight with LCHF in nutritional ketosis alone.  
I learned you can't outrun your fork. 
I began losing weight after starting Qsymia 6-25-2018. 
Now about 3 years later, I have stayed on diet medications.
5-24-18 Update: I have been on diet meds for 3 years


I am on Belviq, Victoza, Invokana, Metformin, Caffeine


5-12-16 UPDATE
I went to Obesity clinic yesterday after 5 months of traveling.
On Qsymia, Victoza, Invokana and Metformin with no change in diet or exercise I lost five pounds.
I went on an Oceania Cruise May 11 to June 5, 2015,
I even purchased the beverage package on the cruise for the first 14 days.
 I compensated by walking one hour a day.
I tried to maintain Atkins as best as possible but I did eat less due to the diet medications.


I started Qsymia in June with following body composition and yesterday’s result:
