I need to eat more but I’m afraid to gain weight

Every day I get close to passing out and feeling depressed but then I eat and feel a little better. Thing is I don’t feel hungry. I also eat 2 meals a day skipping breakfast, but the problems are in the afternoon. Should I eat 3 meals in the afternoon? It’s so hard to tell when I should eat

I had to start eating more, was getting dizzy as well

You should eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, and then have a healthy snack a few hours before going to bed

You should eat three meals per day at least. The diet I got put on has me eating 6 very small meals per day. I’m finally losing weight. It helps your metabolism to eat a little bit many times throughout the day. I eat 800-900 calories per day, but I’m sure you need more calories than that. I’m being supervised by a doctor. I used to eat twice a day and I gained 100 pounds on seroquel. I convinced my pdoc to get me off the seroquel and onto a weight neutral medication and then I started my diet.

I think not eating enough can be just as bad as eating too much. Your body needs fuel to survive. I think it’s possible to eat a balanced, healthy diet. If you have problems with weight gain maybe you can talk to your pdoc about trying a different med. I give this advice like i’m a health guru or something but i’m definitely not haha.

Maybe you have blood sugar problems like type 1 diabetes. Abilify can cause these symptoms

What about meal replacements? I.e. protien shakes. Gives you everything you need. You can even mix it with fruit or milk or yogurt in a spinner.

Nice. This is how most body builders and workout people eat. I have read a lot about it. And thinking i would like to get involved. My doc had offered for me to see a nutritionist. Maybe i will take him up on the offer. I am glad this is working for you.
