Hi Lina - I'd be very careful - a drug label from the NIH states "Do not take CONTRAVE with high-fat meals. It may increase your risk of seizures." [1] If you are thinking of taking on a special diet with Contrave I would highly recommend working with your doctor on that since they can advise you of the risks and possible interactions based on your medical history. I hope this helps!
