I think at first it's fair game to eat anything in sight because your body is craving real nutrition and not just the donut and strawberry crush diet that it was probably on when taking the pills.After withdrawal though it it would be wise do develop healthy sensible eating habits as this addiction can easily transfer itself to food instead of pills.

Absolutely!    Our bodies are starved for nutrition and we eat more.  Lots more!  LOL!   ;)

I actually lost weight at first just because of the physical symptoms but I have actually put on almost 10 pounds and I needed it and feel better. Food even taste better, I enjoy it more now I enjoy cooking it and making great dishes!

your body is looking for dopamine.  Food is one way to get it.  I have gained about 10 lbs. looking for carbs!  :)
