> ps. About weight loss...I hope I don't really lose weight on the Adderall. I could stand to lose some fat, but from what I've seen of people who've lost weight on stims, the stims seem to decrease a lot of muscle too. People who are skinny from stims always seem to have bad muscle tone. I'd rather just lose weight by eating a healthy diet and exercising!!
James here....
Correct, eating less all round is an ineffective way to loose weight. In starvation mode the body first burns liver products and muscle. then when you eat normally (like stop the stim) the body stores more fat, in reaction to being starved.
As always, loosing weight is about eating right all the time and quick fixes cause short term loss
but long term gain. The amount gained is most times much more than was lost.james
