Combining intermittent fasting with medical therapy for effective weight loss in 2021.

Today there has not been enough experience with intermittent fasting to know for sure it’s long-term effectiveness. However in our experience at Renew we have found combining intermittent fasting with medical support in the form of phentermine has been highly effective.

The recommended protocol through renew is fasting from 8 PM until 12 noon the following day. If you’re new to this do it one or two days a week and work yourself up to doing it on a daily basis or any variation thereof. Skipping breakfast is fairly simple for most people who are on a regular schedule because they’re usually hurried in the morning they have high ketones in their system from fasting all night so most people don’t even think about eating until 10 or 11 o’clock in the morning.  Weekly B-12 shots is also an option and may be helpful for weight loss.

I recommend patients who are candidates to take phentermine at 10 o’clock in the morning it will begin to work around noon. I recommend that all people whether you’re taking phentermine or not or even if you’re not doing intermittent fasting,  that you eat 30 or 45 minutes prior to your noon time meal or your dinner meal in order to break your fast and decrease your appetite so that when you have your main meal at noon and at dinner you will not be ravenously hungry and blow your diet at that time.

Common sense would dictate that you try to limit your food intake to whole foods which include fresh fruits vegetables and protein. Exercise is an excellent way to maintain weight loss but it’s not a great way to effect weight loss.
