Hi, I call myself Ignatz after Dan Herriman's character in the old "Krazy Kat" comic strip. I'm 44, father of 3, husband to one, crazy about music and books and food and movies and history and martial arts. I've had some wild and crazy times in my life, and I figure I might as well put in some of my perspective.
I promise not to talk down to anyone or make fun,and I promise not to BS anyone. If you're old enough to ask a frank question, you're old enough to get a frank answer. Oh, and if you ask me a question directly, please be patient. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. My life's a bit hectic. :-)

One thing to look at is diet. If your meds are suppressing your appetite, your body will go into a starvation mode and retain as much fat as possible. You need to eat, even if you don't feel hungry. Also, your meds increase blood flow to your brain. Your brain is a huge consumer of blood sugar. If your meds suppress your appretite, you may be going hypoglycemic without knowing it. (That's what my meds do to me; I don't get hungry, but my blood sugar drops to the point of getting migraines.) Look into the Zone diet: you eat 5-6 times a day, small meals and snacks comprised of healthy fats, lean protein, and complex carbohydrates. (I'm doing this; pretty effective.) A lot of athletes and bodybuilders use the Zone or some variation of it. Another diet to explore is Clarence Bass' Ripped diet, which is mostly vegetables and whole grains. Again, if you don't eat properly, no amount of exercise is going to get you to your ideal condition.
