Question:
I don’t believe the so-called weight neutral meds are really weight neutral. They still slow your metabolism. I weigh more than I did before I was on meds and I follow a low fat diet. penguin
Response:
Weight gain can ultimately be life threatening. Regardless of the reputation of your meds, the result should not be ignored. Make it clear to your P-doc that you need to make a change to stop it. Some P-docs don’t care about weight gain, even to levels of morbid obesity. You may need to change P-docs. "Buther Boy" <m…@privacy.net> wrote in message

I am about 78 kg while I should weigh about 70 kg. So I have what you call a Budha belly. Cisordinol is not weight nutral but also not like Zyprexa. I don’t care much about my belly. Berty

I hit 119 kg after switching off of diet soda and going to the full calorie stuff and gaining 14 kg in 18 months.

Buther Boy I went to a dietician and she told me to eat foods with 3 grams of fat per 100 calories. I don’t go that extreme but I basically try to follow a low fat diet. I look at all the labels on foods and try to eat foods with 6 or 7 grams of fat per serving. I haven’t lost but I haven’t gained any more weight by following a low fat diet. Ask your psychiatrist to refer you to a dietician. take care penguin

I know this is an obvious approach, but it’s what I’m doing now: One thing I’m trying is drinking hot coffee (decaf) and tea. Drinking hot beverages is a slow process. Plus it fills you up. If hot isn’t your cup of tea (pardon the pun) drinking ice water/tea fills you up and maybe instead of reaching for something to munch on, reach for a calorie less drink. Sugary sodas/drinks have calories. I would much rather eat my calories than drink them. I know a guy that lost 30lbs cutting soda completely out of his diet. I still like diet sodas, but maybe they make me crave the calories the sweetners take out. Hard to tell.
