Leptopril is a weight-loss drug designed to help those who are significantly overweight. If you need to lose 20 lbs. or more, Leptopril may be an option for you. Leptopril contains a combination of powerful stimulants and weight-control agents to boost metabolism and suppress your appetite. Take Leptopril in combination with a sensible diet and regular exercise to increase your weight-loss success.

Step 1

Take two Leptopril capsules with your two main meals of the day. Don't take more than four pills per day, according to Leptopril.com.

Step 2

Eat fewer calories. Track your caloric intake daily by keeping a food journal or using an online program like LiveStrong's MyPlate. Subtract 500 from your average to calculate your daily caloric goal to lose about 1 lb. per week.

Step 3

Focus your diet around healthy foods. Eat vegetables, fruits, lean steak, skinless poultry, fish, eggs, whole grains, brown rice and low-fat dairy to keep you fuller with fewer calories. Stay away from unhealthy processed foods that contain harmful chemicals, refined sugar, fat and sodium that encourage weight gain.

Step 4

Perform resistance training three days per week. Train opposing muscle groups on the same day. Work back and chest on Monday, legs on Wednesday and arms and abs on Friday. Include exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, squats, leg raises and lunges. Perform three sets of 15 repetitions for each exercise.

Step 5

Do 30 minutes of slow steady-state cardio after strength training to burn off stored fat. Walk on the treadmill at a high incline or bike at a slow pace with high resistance.

Tips and Warnings

  • Stay hydrated. Drink a minimum of eight cups of water per day, says MayoClinic.com.
