Have any of you experienced significant weight gain on Nal? I was hoping to lose weight with the reduction of calories from drinking but I have noticed that my appetite has increased and I am gaining weight. Just wondering if any of you have experienced this also. Thanks!

For what it's worth, I haven't read too many people complain of weight gain on nal...

I think in general if anything, people experience weight loss on nal because of reduced alcohol calories and reduced alcohol fueled food binges. Personally, I experienced a slight decrease in appetite and I even extinguished my KFC cravings by eating it on nal (although now that I rarely take nal, my KFC cravings have come back though not as strong as they were before). Nal has even been researched in combination with wellbutrin as a weight-loss drug, though I don't think that went anywhere. I lost 10 lbs on TSM, but that was mainly because I replaced drinking with going to the gym.

Could your increased appetite be from drinking less and your body feels the need to make up those calories. It is not uncommon for people who quit drinking to crave sweets and carbs.

Thanks Nick and Tambo for your replies. I think it is possible that instead of drinking I am replacing it with carbs and sweets. I will try to be more aware of this. I would love it if I could lose 10 lbs!

Thanks again!
