AFwife do you think your metabolism got all screwed up becasue of the diet pills? I'm on the Atkins due to Hypothyroidism....not sure your reasons. I do not mine was caused by taking a stack of Ephedrine/Caffeine/ Asprin (deadly fat burning stack)...just curious. I think weight lose pills of any kind are really making people ill....and harming their metabolism...just from some of the things I've read in my research. I burnt my thyroid out totally.
