antidepressants and stacking

[Guest guest]

Cyndi,

Stacking is NOT part of Atkins. In fact, my guess is that he would not

recommend it ... just my opinion mind you. I am doing this with GREAT

caution but it helped me get past that plateau I was on. As far as the

prozac ...there are some antidepressants that will hinder weight loss.

The way it was explained to me was that it actually makes your body more

efficient (like in a time of famine you would be able to survive on less

food) because it doesn't take your body as much fuel to burn. However

Prozac is not in that family of antidepressants. I don't know that it

will help you to lose weight. The thing is, if it helps make you feel

better than you are less likely to overeat over depression. Also, the

antidepressant I was on previously (Tofranil) could sometimes make you

crave starches more. Again, prozac will not do that.

Good luck with your food. *S*
