> Just starting to feel better w/ 45 mg. of Nardil, but having intense, uncontrollable carb/sugar cravings, and have been bingeing. Already overweight and can't afford to gain more. Any antidote to this?
Hi,
I take 90mg of Nardil daily. About the only thing that helps the carb cravings and associated weight gain for me is strenuous exercise.In the past I have lost weight, while taking Nardil, on a very low carb diet. It is very hard to stick with but the carb cravings seem to go away when you are not eating any at all. On this very low carb diet the body enters a state called ketosis where it burns fat for energy instead of gluclose. The problem is, when you go off the diet, which is pretty much inevitable; the weight comes back fast.
Take care,
Jedi
