Jane is a new patient in the Weight Loss clinic. She presents as a slightly chubby young woman of 25 years of age, ht: 5 ft.wt: 150 lbs. She describes a series of diets where she loses 5 to 10 lbs, then becomes frustrated when she plateaus for several weeks, and breaks the diet, rapidly regaining her lost weight. Her lifestyle is mostly sedentary during the week; she plays tennis on the weekend occasionally or goes dancing at the local singles bar. She wants medication that will make her lose weight and keep her from being hungry. What would you do?
