With the Topomax food never tasted funny to me like some people have mentioned. I just haven't wanted to eat. Now that could also be because I have been on Atkins and it just makes me not hungry so I am not sure. I have to make myself eat because I just flat out forget. Still the key is WATER WATER WATER. You just have to drink it with Topomax. For her kidney's sake whether she likes the taste or not. I had to learn to like it when I was on a diet in high school and now it's what I mostly drink. I drink more than 8 glasses a day though and I think that myth has been busted anyway. Of course, what USED to be good for us isn't, and what used to be bad for us isn't, so it's a wonder we haven't become extinct! I just make it a habit to use the real stuff. If I go out, I am going to eat REAL salad dressing and REAL butter. The fake stuff has more sugar in it anyway and my body metabolizes fat better than sugar. Popcorn is a good snack btw. I actually prefer the snack size with the real butter and salt. It may add some calories, but what good is a snack if you really don't enjoy eating it!! I went for my annual OB/GYN appmt today! WHEE!! The Dr said my weight hadn't changed since last year but then I told him what had happened with taking the Effexor. Gained 20lbs coming off of it. Don't know why..maybe another redhead thing. Then gained 10 more from the stupid steroid the PA gave me for my bronchitis. Should have known better!!! So he was impressed that I had lost it since last year. Another thing to beware. Sometimes people's body's treat diet drinks like the real thing. I know mine does. It slows my weight loss down considerably. I try not to drink many. Once again..might be a redhead thing...Man are we doomed or what!!
