I mostly microwave food like oatmeal and beans. I’m going to start eating sandwiches every day now instead of beans.
Yeah it can be hard. Maybe if you buy too much junk food that’s packaged donate a little bit of it to a needy family or food pantry.
I bought six little snack pies this morning and I gave three to my family.
I’m trying to use the iron monk method and resist all temptation. I want to live as long as possible and be healthy. I fear getting old and having my mind and body start failing me.

I can’t lose weight very much either. My eating is relatively healthy, no fast food,. But I’m always between 250 and about 230 lbs.
It’s rough. I should get more exercise. I stay busy all the time at home, but rarely get out.
@eighteyedspy23 vacuuming is a real work out.

Sorry I don’t know English very well. I did this and I managed to lose 25 kg.
I am on Zyprexa (20mg). I went from 30 BMI to 23 BMI (I used to have 21 BMI before antipsychotics) I don’t eat bread, rice, pasta. I just eat lettuce either with beef or fish or drink soup, both for lunch and dinner with natural juice prepared at home. My breakfast is a glass of low-fat milk (200/250ml), when I am hungry after taking the Zyprexa (16:30) I only drink almond drink and I am not hungry anymore. That’s all what I eat. It is the only way to lose weight on this med. When I am not “dieting”, I eat the same plus some cheese, some low calories cookies (I don’t know the name of them in English I eat usually five of them daily) with jam and chocolate (200 calories daily) doing this I keep my weight, if it weren’t for Zyprexa, I would be already anorexic eating like this.
My dad kept telling me I should eat more salad.
I didn’t like salad but now I eat it. I didn’t used to eat a lot before schizophrenia so it isn’t hard for me to do this.

I love to eat and recently this spring I’ve been purposely eating less. I really need to lose weight but my antipsychotic makes that hard.
It is very hard. I used to think It would be impossible to lose weight on them, but it is possible but very hard. I had to stop eating the things I liked in order to lose the weight and not gain it.
I had to stop eating almost all of the foods I liked too. I still kept gaining weight. I think it’s because I’m on the highest dose of my antipsychotic Invega Sustenna.
I think you should calculate your basal metabolic rate and then start counting your calories with apps like My Fitness Pal, Fatsecret, etc.
