You're 6 foot 9? or does that mean 69 inches? typo...I'm confused. If you are 6'9" I be 175 is a little light if you are 5'9" honestly I would think close to 150 would be better (my fiancee is 5'9" and about 160 (she would kill me if she saw this, hehe)) We aren't doctors by any means, and I wouldn't want to make a claim about anything without some sort of knowledge of it, but that tenuate + 1000 calories sounds ...http://www.traineo.com/9_1682_0.htmlFri, 02 Mar 2007 18:50:40 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_1682_0.htmlFind another doctor! Nathan is right -- this idiot should have his license revoked. He's nothing but a pill pusher. And if he knew you were only eating 1,000 calories a day, and approved that, he is doubly a quack. I don't know how tall you are, but assuming you're around 6 ft., and 270 lbs., your basal metabolic rate (the number of calories you consume just existing) is around 2,500 calories a day. If you work out hard for 90 minutes, 3 times a week, that might burn anothe...http://www.traineo.com/9_1682_0.htmlFri, 02 Mar 2007 04:15:07 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_1682_0.htmlThankyou so much Itadaki for your research and input about Tenuate. I read over everything a couple times. I had did a little bit of research on my own, but was having a hard time finding "positive" things about Tenuate. Evidentially, that is why. I am scheduled for another appt. with my doctor next week. I think I am going to stop taking the medicine-- for two reasons. The research you showed me, plus it keeps me up and I can't sleep- then days like today I just crash and I...http://www.traineo.com/9_1682_0.htmlFri, 02 Mar 2007 02:41:19 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_1682_0.htmlHoly "below maintenance calories" Batman!! That's ridiculous. Your doctor is a quack. "here take some speed, and don't eat anything, you'll lose all the MUSCLE you have." How tall are you that the doc said 175 is good? 6 foot? We're not doctors, but dammit have some of us lost some weight. You need to eat less than normal and start exercising. Sorry to say but I think most western medical practitioners know jack shit about fitness a...http://www.traineo.com/9_1682_0.htmlThu, 01 Mar 2007 21:02:30 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_1682_0.htmlQuoting: Tikbalang700 to 1000 calories sounds awfully low, and you may even be slowing your metabolism that way. A lot of people on this forum will recommend measuring your basal metabolic requirements (usually around 1800 to 2000 calories) and eating just that, or a few hundred under it at most. I'd second that thought. 1000 calories is harsh. The last thing you want to do in your situation is fool your body into thinking it's starving by cutting your calories in half for a sustai...http://www.traineo.com/9_1682_0.htmlThu, 01 Mar 2007 05:28:22 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_1682_0.htmlWelcome! Wow, Tenuate is like legalized ephedra! I'm not a doctor, but that probably isn't a good thing. I'm not sure that it really does boost your metabolism. It's a CNS stimulant like caffeine and ephedra -- closer to ephedra since it appears to be similar to amphetamine, and is in fact habit forming. You'll feel more energetic and thus work out harder, move around more, and generally bounce off the walls. I've used ephedra and can't say I would recomm...http://www.traineo.com/9_1682_0.htmlThu, 01 Mar 2007 05:23:19 +0000http://www.traineo.com/9_1682_0.htmlI went to the doctor and he prescribed me a pill called Tenuate. It basically boosts my metablism, gives me energy and curves my appetite. I am 19 years old and 260 (was 275). My doctor told me that a healthy weight for my frame and height is 175ish. If any one on here has tried the pill Tenuate, please feel free to tell me of your experience. I want to know how others have done on this pill. While I know that this pill isn't going to solve my weight problems, I have been eating betwe...http://www.traineo.com/9_1682_0.htmlThu, 01 Mar 2007 04:43:44 +0000
