> I have read that they suppress the satiety mechanism so that you eat more without feeling full. Yes, you can lose weight while taking them. Weight loss is caused by fewer calories consumed than expended. That is not to say that they don't make it much more difficult though.
There might be some metabolic changes induced by the meds that make it harder to lose weight, but I don't know if this theory has been supported objectively.
