Summary

In Thinner at Last, Steven Lamm, M.D., explains how two medications (fenfluramine and phentermine) taken together actually enhance the body's natural inclination to be thin and healthy.

Already proven to be much more effective than traditional diet programs, this plan has helped countless Americans realize their dreams of being thinner at last -- not for a month or a year, but for a lifetime.
