Okay, over the past month I've been dieting down. Well come to find out (right before my diet) the pills my doctor prescribed me have a strange side effect - MASSIVE HUNGER
(by the way the name of the Medication is Remeron, it's an anti-depressant and in low doses a sleep aid). That would account for the weight I've gained this summer. So I discontinued taking them. Well out of desperation I have SEVERELY restricted my calories (less than 6x bodyweight I am 100% positive) in addition to doing a rigurous workout 4 - 5 days a week. The question is, how can I bounce back. I really don't want to gain any fat, and would like to continue cutting, as I still have much to lose, but how would I go about cleaning up my diet??? I am currently 5'11 - 215 lbs - Bodyfat% - I have no idea, but it's plenty enough to hide most of my muscle (which now that I realize what I'm doing, I really would like to keep from losing what I have!)
PS
Does anyone know a good presciption sleep aid (preferably non-addictive, as my doctor will most likely not prescibe it) that doesn't cause an increase in appetite? I have been diagnosed with a sleep disorder, and sleep just doesn't come naturally to me at night (regardless of physical/mental fatigue by the time bedtime rolls around)
