The #1 mistake I see patients make on phentermine isn't a dosing error — it's that they stop eating. In this video, Dr. Mohammed Paika (board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, 20 years as a hospitalist) breaks down exactly why appetite suppression gets confused with starvation, the real physiology of what happens to your metabolism and muscle when you under-eat on phentermine, a patient case from the hospital floor you won't forget, and the protein-first framework to actually keep the weight off long-term.

You'll learn:

– What phentermine actually does in your body (and why it's still the most-prescribed weight-loss medication in the U.S.)

– The 3-stage physiology of "starvation mode" — and the real data behind it

– A protein-first meal-timing framework you can start today

– Why resistance training is non-negotiable for protecting your metabolism

– Why phentermine isn't your only option — and how to know if it's the right one for you
