Tips & Tools for Success
Get Planning
We’re here to help you keep your CONTRAVE weight loss goals on track. We understand that the stress and time constraints of daily life pose challenges, so we put together some helpful tips, tools and real-life experiences to help you lose the weight and keep it off.
Setting Goals
Set Achievable Daily Goals
Whether it’s walking 10,000 steps per day or adding 50% more veggies to your meals—specific, achievable goals can keep you motivated to celebrate daily wins. Share your goals with your support network and keep each other accountable!
Put a Healthy and Manageable Routine in Place
- Design a new daily schedule that gives you the structure you need with the flexibility required to meet your health goals
- Mark your calendar with breaks, meals, and exercise so they become a priority
Sleep Helps With Your Weight Loss
- Sleep can be elusive with so many life changes, but with better sleep comes stronger health outcomes
- Research shows that inadequate sleep interferes with the body’s metabolism, leading to higher insulin levels and greater body fat storage
- Work to get 8 hours of sleep per night for optimal health and continued success
Manage Stress
- Create distractions, focus your mind on something else, or even start a hobby
- Keep a daily journal—this is a great way to help people stay on track and easily make diet and exercise adjustments when necessary
- Practice mindfulness—focus on what you can control
- Look for healthy alternatives for comfort foods you enjoy
Simple Tips
Ways to Set Yourself Up for Success
Create a Network of Support
- Don’t go it alone! Share your progress with your family and friends and tell them how they can help hold you accountable and on track to reach your goals
- By keeping them informed, they can become aware of how their own eating behavior or activities are influencing your weight-loss plan
- Find a weight-loss buddy to check in and exercise with, share tips, and celebrate milestones
Make Time for Yourself
- Between work, family, and other priorities, it’s easy to put yourself last on the to-do list
- Carve out micro-moments in each day to relax and do something you enjoy
Skip the “Empty” Foods
- Eat more foods filled with fiber and protein, which keep you fuller longer
- Drink water before every meal—by staying hydrated, your body is better able to differentiate between your hunger signals and thirst signals
Healthy Eating
Everyday Offers Opportunities To Make Healthy Food Choices
Planning out meals and snacks is the place to start. This goes a long way in helping you make better decisions when choosing foods and alleviates the stress of last-minute meal prep.
Plan for “Easy”
• Make a menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
• Incorporate snacks into your meal plan throughout the day so you don’t get too hungry between meals
• Make sure you’re getting enough fruits and vegetables
Food Shopping For Success
It is essential that you plan ahead and stock up on healthy foods that will provide you with adequate nutrition to stay on track with your goals.
Shop Right
- Make a list before you go that fits with your meal plan
- Consider fresh produce that will last longer
- Pick the best protein. Make healthier choices, such as chicken, fish, or lean steak
- Check product labels to make sure you’re meeting your nutritional needs, and see if you can swap them for a similar product with less sugar or fat
- Don’t shop when you’re hungry—it can sway you from making healthy decisions
When You're Not Cooking
Having food delivered or eating out may pose a temptation to give in to comfort food cravings or unhealthy choices from family and friends. Check out some tips for choosing well-rounded meals in these situations.
Ordering In
- Focus on your own order. Friends and family may pressure you to go all in on an unhealthy order of pizza and chicken wings
- When your food arrives, portion out how much food you are going to eat to prevent overeating
- Practice the 3-bite rule (especially with desserts). Take 3 bites and then set it aside for a few minutes. You might discover that those few bites can be very satisfying, and they might be all you really wanted in the first place
Eating Out
- Look at the menu in advance. Last-minute pressure to choose your entrée can lead to unhealthy choices
- Order well-rounded meals that have nutritional balance. Look up the restaurant online and review the calorie information
- Consider the caloric density of the foods you are ordering; swap out fried sides for veggie sides
- Portion control! Consider the size of the order and how much to consume

Balancing Your Plate & Portions
The Food Pyramid Is Out, and MyPlate Is In!
Understand the basics of a healthy diet. It’s important to eat a variety of nutritious foods from all the food groups. Visit ChooseMyPlate.gov to learn all about the 5 food groups for a healthy diet.
Calculate the Calories You Need per Day
Scientifically speaking…if you want to lose weight, you’ll need to burn more calories than you eat.
As a rule of thumb, 1 pound is around 3,500 calories. So, to lose one pound per week, you’ll need to reduce your intake by 500 calories per day. Everyone’s lifestyle and needs are different, and your calorie intake may be different as well.
Use a weight-loss calculator to estimate how many calories you should eat for weight loss. You may find that you need to adjust that target to keep your weight loss on track.
Tracking & Portion Control
It’s important to focus not only on what you eat but also on how much you eat. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if the portions are the right serving size for our nutritional needs.
Keep that in mind while cooking and making food selections. Tracking can be easy with the right tools. Get started with the FREE resources at Start Simple with MyPlate. You can also download the MyPlate App so you can access a wealth of information on the go.

Get Moving
Staying Fit
Now more than ever, it’s necessary to keep your body moving. Staying active will help keep your metabolism in check and also help elevate your mood. You don’t always have to do vigorous activities to see benefits. Just start building more physical activity into your day, one step at a time.
Exercising at Home
Here’s the Amount of Exercise the American Heart Association Recommends
Start with Moderate Activity
Moderate-intensity activity causes a slightly increased rate of breathing, and it feels “light” to “somewhat hard.”
You can:
- Go for a brisk walk (a 15-minute mile)
- Do yard or housework
- Take a leisurely bike ride
- Play with family or friends
- Go for a light swim
Activity Tips & Apps
Exercise Routine Planning
Set up a weekly schedule
- Write out your plan on your phone or calendar app to keep yourself accountable
- Be reasonable—set manageable expectations. For example, don’t plan to achieve running a full mile during week one. Start slowly and build up to your goals over time
- Think about how your meal/snack schedule revolves around your exercise
- Create a workout playlist. Get yourself excited and motivated for your workouts
- Invest in a wearable fitness gadget, like a step counter, to help keep you motivated so you remain active throughout your day

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
What is CONTRAVE?
See More
CONTRAVE can cause serious side effects including:
Suicidal thoughts or actions: One of the ingredients in CONTRAVE is bupropion. Bupropion has caused some people to have suicidal thoughts or actions or unusual changes in behavior, whether or not they are taking medicines used to treat depression. Bupropion may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or actions in some children, teenagers, and young adults within the first few months of treatment. If you already have depression or other mental illnesses, taking bupropion may cause it to get worse, especially within the first few months of treatment.
CONTRAVE is a prescription weight-loss medicine that may help some adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or greater (obese), or adults with a BMI of 27 kg/m2 or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related medical problem such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes, lose weight and keep the weight off.

Bupropion may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or actions in some children, teenagers, and young adults within the first few months of treatment. If you already have depression or other mental illnesses, taking bupropion may cause it to get worse, especially within the first few months of treatment.
While taking CONTRAVE, you or your family members should pay close attention to any changes, especially sudden changes, in mood, behaviors, thoughts, or feelings. This is very important when you start taking CONTRAVE or when your dose changes.
Stop taking CONTRAVE and call a healthcare provider right away if you or your family members notice any of the following symptoms, especially if they are new, worse, or worry you: thoughts about suicide or dying; attempts to commit suicide; depression; anxiety; feeling agitated or restless; panic attacks; irritability; aggression, anger, or violence; acting on dangerous impulses; an extreme increase in activity and talking; other unusual changes in behavior or mood; trouble sleeping.
CONTRAVE is not approved for use in children under the age of 18.
Do not take CONTRAVE if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure; have or have had seizures; use other medicines that contain bupropion such as WELLBUTRIN, WELLBUTRIN SR, WELLBUTRIN XL, APLENZIN and ZYBAN; have or have had an eating disorder called anorexia or bulimia; are dependent on opioid pain medicines or use medicines to help stop taking opioids, or are in opiate withdrawal; drink a lot of alcohol and abruptly stop drinking, or use medicines called sedatives (these make you sleepy), benzodiazepines, or anti‐seizure medicines and stop using them all of a sudden; are taking or have taken medicines called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) in the past 14 days; or are allergic to any of the ingredients in CONTRAVE.
Tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions including if you have: depression or other mental illnesses; attempted suicide; seizures; head injury; tumor or infection of brain or spine; low blood sugar or low sodium; liver or kidney problems; high blood pressure; heart attack, heart problems, or stroke; eating disorder; drinking a lot of alcohol; prescription medicine or street drug abuse; are 65 or older; diabetes; pregnant or planning to become pregnant; or breastfeeding.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
CONTRAVE may cause serious side effects, including:
- Seizures. There is a risk of having a seizure when you take CONTRAVE. The risk of seizure is higher in people who take higher doses of CONTRAVE, have certain medical conditions, or take CONTRAVE with certain other medicines. Do not take any other medicines while you are taking CONTRAVE unless your healthcare provider has said it is okay to take them. If you have a seizure while taking CONTRAVE, stop taking CONTRAVE and call your healthcare provider right away.
- Risk of opioid overdose. Do not take large amounts of opioids, including opioid-containing medicines, such as heroin or prescription pain pills, to try to overcome the opioid-blocking effects of naltrexone. This can lead to serious injury, coma, or death.
Get emergency medical help right away if you take opioids and you:
- have trouble breathing
- become very drowsy with slowed breathing
- have slow, shallow breathing
- feel faint, very dizzy, confused, or have unusual symptoms
- Sudden opioid withdrawal. People who take CONTRAVE must not use any type of opioid including street drugs, prescription pain medicines, cough, cold, or diarrhea medicines that contain opioids, or opioid dependence treatments, for at least 7 to 10 days before starting CONTRAVE. Using opioids in the 7 to 10 days before you start taking CONTRAVE may cause you to suddenly have symptoms of opioid withdrawal when you take it. Sudden opioid withdrawal can be severe, and you may need to go to the hospital. Tell your healthcare provider you are taking CONTRAVE before a medical procedure or surgery.
- Severe allergic reactions. Stop taking CONTRAVE and call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away if you have any of the following signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction: rash, itching, hives, fever, swollen lymph glands, painful sores in your mouth or around your eyes, swelling of your lips or tongue, chest pain, or trouble breathing.
- Increases in blood pressure or heart rate. Some people may get high blood pressure or have a higher heart rate when taking CONTRAVE. Your healthcare provider should check your blood pressure and heart rate before you start taking, and while you take CONTRAVE.
- Liver damage or hepatitis. Stop taking CONTRAVE and tell your healthcare provider if you have any of the following symptoms of liver problems: stomach area pain lasting more than a few days, dark urine, yellowing of the whites of your eyes, or tiredness. Your healthcare provider may need to stop treating you with CONTRAVE if you get signs or symptoms of a serious liver problem.
- Manic episodes. Bupropion can cause some people who were manic or depressed in the past to become manic or depressed again.
- Visual problems (angle-closure glaucoma). Signs and symptoms may include: eye pain, changes in vision, swelling or redness in or around the eye. Talk with your healthcare provider to find out if you are at risk for angle‐closure glaucoma and to get treatment to prevent it if you are at risk.
- Increased risk of low blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus who also take medicines to treat their diabetes (such as insulin or sulfonylureas). You should check your blood sugar before you start taking CONTRAVE and while you take CONTRAVE.
The most common side effects of CONTRAVE include nausea, constipation, headache, vomiting, dizziness, trouble sleeping, dry mouth, and diarrhea. These are not all of the possible side effects of CONTRAVE.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
