Zonked,
I've been taking Nardil for a few years now at about 60-75mg dose. I would say I've gained five pounds overall since taking it, but that might also be due to normal aging-related weight gain. Maybe this is luck or maybe hard work. Exercise is sort of built into my day. I bike 15-20 minutes to work every day (and back). So that's a given. But I also go to the gym and do cardio exercises (or run outside) *at least* three times a week for about 30-40 mins. Fortunately I do not experience any abnormal cravings due to the medication. I rarely eat desserts like ice cream or cookies. I don't drink sugary beverages, and definitely no soda. I even quit diet soda.
I am pleased with my body. I have great muscle tone, except I do have fat around my midsection, which annoys the heck out of me. It just doesn't go away. I know some other folks like pedr experience this too.
So this has been my experience, which may be, well, atypical.
