I’ve also experienced what I believe to be more than ‘normal’ weight loss, almost 10% of my total body weight. Moreover, most of it was within about 30-40 days or so. My concern is will it stop? I asked my wife if she noticed me eating less, and her answer was, “you’re not snacking as much as you used to and we are eating healthier…” Which is true, my kids and wife all have gluten sensitivity, so we hardly ever eat out and we focus our food on quality, not cost, so we tend to buy local meats, veg, etc…So, I’ll buy some portion of what she says, but I haven’t been at my current weight in about 20 years. The upside is I do feel great in general, certainly less sluggish, and much happier all around (Adderall XR and looking leaner helps ;-). Is this typical? I thought I recall reading that the meds originally used in early ADD days were intended for patients with weight problems, is that the link?
