Im trying to do this gradually
I’ve managed to lose weight on 7.5mg Olanzapine. I started new diet regime just before the new year and have lost about 10kg. Not much but it takes me from nearly obese to a nearly healthy BMI. I don’t drink alcohol except on special occasions. I bought some bathroom scales and record my weight every night in the iPhone health app. This visible graph means I can see when I am slipping. I cut out a lot of milk cause I drink a lot of coffee so I drink low sugar squash instead for most drinks. I only buy one or two days of sugary puddings as a treat for weekends. I never buy sugary snacks besides these and do one big shop a week and if it’s not in my cupboard I can’t eat it. I avoid red meat preferring fish, prawn, chicken and reduced my portion sizes. I love my food more than ever now and look longingly at chocolate bars inside the vending machine at work. I’ve reached a plateau now though so will have to exercise more to lose more.
