Yes, but I’m cheating with my adderall prescription. I stop eating at 8PM and start at noon so I’m mostly just snacking through my eating window and when it wears off I’ll have a larger meal with a bunch of fiber so I’m not starving before bed.

Much easier to do when your appetite is suppressed. Also - don’t know if taking adderall breaks a fast, so I may be totally off.

Haven’t measured my weight change, but I’m certainly burning more calories than I’m eating so it could be a number of factors.

Funny, I got downvoted yesterday for suggesting Adderall abuse is a problem, and here you are admitting that you use it as an appetite suppressant.

I don’t agree that taking the prescription I’ve been given for the purpose it was given to me and noting the side effects is abuse.

Taking additional doses, or utilizing it on weekends for non-professional pursuits, to me, would constitute abuse.

However, to each their own. It’s been a net benefit to me.
