    I was just curious if anyone else is on stimulant meds and doing 180degreehealth? I’ve actually been able to decrease my dosage and practically give up my caffeine addiction, but I’m curious if the stimulant nature of these medications might hinder my weight loss goals in the long run.

    So far I feel great so I’m not super concerned, but I know these meds can cause some stressful reactions similar to coffee.

    I don’t believe it would hinder weight loss, in fact stimulant medications promote weight loss by significantly decreasing appetite (my fianc? was on stimulant meds for ADHD). I have noticed rebound weight gain in those taking stimulant medication who completely wean off. Appetite returns to normal, etc. That’s my two cents!

    So far so good. I went from taking 60 mg of Ritalin and am now down to 30 now that I’m actually eating carbs, but no real change in weight, but my body is changing for the better.
