How hard should you diet while taking Bromocriptin

[RainierWolfcastle]

a) 500 calories below maintenance (ie no change)
b) Maintenance (because bromo increases daily caloric expenditure)
c) 1000 calories below maintenance (because bromo will reduce the side effects associated with dieting very hard)

Lyle has commented that one definitely want a caloric deficit. The degree of it, however, is up to you. I would tend to go with the 1000kcal one, but have a weekly or bi-weekly refeed in addition so that you still get the peripheral effects of leptin that bromocriptine does not provide.
