Tenuate

Tenuate

Diethylpropion
Dosage: 25mg immediate release and 75mg controlled release

How it works:

Tenuate works by stimulating the hypothalamus gland and affects certain neurotransmitters to decrease appetite. Tenuate stimulates the central nervous system, which increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Because Tenuate is chemically similar to amphetamines, it has the potential for psychological dependency so it should be used with caution.

Side Effects:

Side effects that may go away during treatment include restlessness, difficulty sleeping, nervousness, difficulty sleeping or dry mouth. Less common side effect reported were abdominal discomfort (G.I. disturbances), abnormal redness of the skin, blood pressure elevation, blurred vision, breast development in males, bruising, changes in sex drive, chest pain, constipation, depression, and diarrhea.

Effectiveness:

Tenuate works effectively as a short term appetite suppression drug as part of a managed weight loss program. Users report good results with manageable side effects. Again, this is a short term drug and not intended for long term use as dependency can result.

This of course may not always be feasible, but try to do it at least once a day. You’ll have even better results if you completely stop using the elevator.

2. Suck it in: It sounds silly, but sucking in your stomach throughout the day can actually help tighten your abs and whittle your waist. No one even has to know you’re doing it. Just suck in your stomach for five minutes of time
