Is My Workout Plan Ok? PLEASE HELP!?
Question by Philllll: Is my workout plan ok? PLEASE HELP!?
I am 19, 5’8 172lbs, going to the gym 3 times a week working triceps, biceps, chest, back, abs, shoulders, and occasionally legs. I take creatine before workouts and on non workout days, and whey protein after workouts and on non workout days. I take in more calories then i used to, and have gained a few pounds because of it. I do not, however, take in the reccommended amount for my age, but does this matter since im taking in more than i used to? Will i get bigger by using this plan?
All i eat is wheat bread, bananas, yogurt, tuna, chicken, macoroni, fruit, a few vegetables but not as much as fruit, and alot of oatmeal products and granola products. also alot of milk

FDA has approved several prescription drugs for obesity. Those available on the market include:
Dexedrine and other amphetamines
Ionamin and Adipex-P (phentermine), Sanorex (mazindol), Tenuate (diethylpropion), Prelu-2 (phendimetrazine) and other amphetamine derivatives
meridia (sibutramine).
In mostly short-term studies of obese adults following a calorie-restricted diet, those who took the appetite suppressants lost more weight on average than those who took a placebo. The amount of weight lost varied from study to study.
FDA approved the drugs only for use with calorie-restricted diets. The drugs are “not magic pills,” warns Leo Lutwak, M.D., Ph.D., of FDA’s division of metabolism and endocrine drug products. “They don’t work unless you make dietary and exercise changes.”
Also, they should be used only for a few weeks because the drugs are addictive and have the potential for abuse. They shouldn’t be used in combination with each other or with other drugs for appetite control because such combinations have not been evaluated for safety. And the drugs should be used only in people who are obese–not people looking to lose a few pounds, Lutwak says.
“Weight-loss drugs are serious medicine for a serious disease,” he says.
Also, he points out that while obesity may be associated with other serious diseases, studies have never shown that weight loss produced with the use of prescription weight-loss drugs benefits obesity-associated conditions. However, changes in diet and activity may improve associated diseases, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, even with only modest changes in weight, Lutwak says.
Until September 1997, two other drugs, fenfluramine (Pondimin and others) and dexfenfluramine (Redux), were available for treating obesity. But, at FDA’s request, the manufacturers of these drugs voluntarily withdrew them from the market after newer findings suggested that they were the likely cause of heart valve problems in a large proportion of people using them. FDA recommended that anyone taking the drugs stop and that they contact their doctor to discuss their treatment.
