Lombard, Naltrexone is not a diet pill in the sense that most think. It blocks opiate receptors and inhibits a dopamine dump (from my understanding) that many food addicts experience. Recent research has clearly demonstrated, with the use of fMRI scans that many, if not most, obese people have an increased dopamine level similar to that of Crack addicts just from visual food cues. With this drug it's as if a switch has been turned off in my brain. I for the first time am not getting high or low from food and only look at it as fuel. I do not plan to use this drug indefinitely and Naltrexone alone will not make me lose weight but rather it allows for behavior modifications to take place.
