Women of childbearing potential will have negative pregnancy test before initiation of medication.
Gastric emptying (GE): Accelerated GE T1/2 < 79 minutes or GE 1h>35 %

Exclusion criteria

Type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosed according to American Diabetes Association criteria
Unstable heart disease as evidenced by ongoing angina
Congestive heart failure
Concomitant use of appetite suppressants (i.e., caffeine based or diethylpropion) or orlistat (Xenical®)
Uncontrolled hypertension (Blood pressure greater than 160/90 mmHg)
Use of anti-diabetic drugs including metformin,

Concomitant use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (i.e., phenelzine, selegiline), serotonergic agents, and other centrally acting appetite suppressants
Significant psychiatric dysfunction based upon screening with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) self-administered alcoholism screening test (SAAST, substance abuse) and the questionnaire on eating and weight patterns (binge eating disorders and bulimia). If such a dysfunction is identified by a HADS score ≥11 in any of the subscales or difficulties with substance or eating disorders, the participant will be excluded and given a referral letter to his/her primary care doctor for further appraisal and follow-up.
