Vegan and Contrave

Dr. Garth assessed my hunger, complaints about eating too much, lack of restriction... and we have decided that taking me Vegan with Contrave may be a way to jumpstart and rid myself of bad cravings.

I've been told not to count ANYTHING except fiber.. He doesn't want me even thinking about protein or calories... Just whole, all natural foods and getting 35g of fiber...

 

He posted his presale for ProteinAholic just before he came into the patient room.. so I kinda saw this happening..

But he also didn't lecture me like some did on here when I said my restriction was lost.... He agreed it happens.

 

I know some on here will swear the stretching and lack of restriction was all in my head.... and you're allowed because your experience has varied.. Just sharing what is going on over here...

 

Day 1 of Vegan wasn't difficult. Dr Garth gave a ton of yummy recipes and I pick up my Contrave tomorrow.
