The antipsychotic takes away your satiety. The best thing you can do is replace foods with healthier foods. Decreasing the amount is almost impossible.

My strategy for losing weight and controlling my blood sugar has become eating lots of vegetable and eating less.

I use a food diary app that calculates macros, calories, and nutrients. I weigh and measure my foods before consumption with measuring cups and a food scale, and I log every single thing that goes in my mouth. I also only weigh myself twice a month at the doctor's office so I don't get triggered by the scale. I also "plan" my cheats so that I don't over consume them. I keep trigger foods out of the house.
That all said, I'm also on metformin and Mounjaro, which both help my blood sugar and reduce my appetite.

eat on small plates…that way if you go back for seconds you’ve still only eaten one plate.

I have so many serious GI problems now. My body is not digesting or absorbing nutrients properly. I’m now always malnourished and starving. The doctor wants to put me on TPN permanently. They are still allowing me to eat by mouth so I can be human and enjoy flavors. Im losing weight but not in a healthy way.

I wonder how I did it back in sa I was 52-55 kg and my x could eat junk infront of me and i would resist temptation and have none.
My current boyfriend buys me junk food and fattens me up and i can’t resist the junk food at moment.
I am now 72 kg or so and can’t lose weight.
I eat healthy most days but it’s still not enough.

I am doing time-restricted eating, a form of fasting. I started going 16 hours without eating each day and it did not help. When I got over 18 hours each day, my appetite abated. I am also limiting starchy carbs.

I try to focus on healthy foods.
Whenever I have a choice I go for the healthy option.
I think you can eat as much as you want as long as it is healthy.

I drink fiber powder in the AM and afternoon. It makes me feel full, and is healthy af. I don’t snack as much after I drink it. I still get the munchies though 
on these medication most of the time it has to do with it causing diabetes/ high blood sugar with makes you crave food
