AFTER 6 WEEKS MY CRAVINGS HAVE DISAPPEARED
I am on week 6 of Contrave and since I hit the full dose 2 weeks ago my food cravings have disappeared. A week ago I went to Trader Joe's and stocked up on all kinds of salty and sweet snacks and I haven't eaten ANY of it, and this is not because I have willpower. I love to snack, and I usually HAVE to have a salty snack and a sweet snack every day or I feel anxious. I haven't felt that at all, and last night when, out of habit, I went to the kitchen to get a snack I looked at all my tasty treats and I just wasn't interested. This is unprecedented. Every other time in my life I've tried to lose weight I've been tormented with cravings and thinking about food.
I have lost 8 pounds in 6 weeks without making any real changes other than taking Contrave and trying to eat a little healthier. I did not intend to cut calories and have not denied myself any food I wanted.
( I would like to lose 75 lbs in the next year, but 50 lbs may be more realistic.)
