I went off the deep end for a bit, way overeating. Then I started taking a medication for another condition. It also depresses my appetite. I'm actually not elated over that, as I have had similar experiences before. Not eating has a similar effect on the body, even when there is no hunger. It can be followed by intense urges to eat. I did try the oil and found that is was a decent appetite depressent. However, I need to try this medication for awhile. If it doesn't work out for its intended purpose, I will go back to the oil for appetite restriction. I plan on alternating by coin toss days targeting a low calorie count including the oil, and days with a higher allotment not using the oil, just so that my body doesn't adjust to the lower amount. I read that the originator eats only about 1,400 calories a day to maintain his weight. That sounds too low to me. Perhaps I'll never weigh what I think I should, even though it is not excessively low. but I am willing to keep experimenting because I have gotten to the point where I don't feel I HAVE to be thinner and where I feel that I am a failure when I can't stick to a program.
