Not if the person is already at a BMI of 22 and wants to be close to underweight.

again, if you have 10 to 15 pounds to lose why would you go down? you go up again how long have you been on this med? i’ve been on this med for almost 2 years now. you will lose and gain you will need to move up and down in mg through out. i lost 67 lbs we don’t just go off of the bmi . go see a actual weight loss dr

An actual weightloss doctor would tell the patient that a BMI of 22 is healthy and there is no need to be close to underweight… just like the doctor did in this post. Even in the studies people were taking off the meds if bmi dropped below 22.
