The only realistic way to lose fat is (moderate) food restriction.

There are a lot of strategies for this. Eating at the same time every day, fasting 16 hours or more a day.

At the end of the day, you need to eat less. A little bit of hunger is good. You get used to it.

Exercise more, eat better, restrict calories as necessary, and ask your doctor for help if you can’t do it on your own. I have lost a lof of weight thanks to Saxenda, it makes the weight loss journey a lot more tolerable.

I just told you in my previous post. Read it again.

No, I’ve been on it for a year with no problems except for the one day when I accidentally took a double dose. That was awful because it effectively switched off my digestive system for 24 hours and I threw up everything, even liquids. That was my own fault, the drug just did what it was designed to.

I lost 10kg by eating just once a day. And just stuff like yoghurt, cucumbers or other vegetables. Now I do sport and eat “normal” but I don’t loose weight anymore.

I totally get how hard it can be to lose weight on meds like Abilify and Depakote. I’ve been in a similar spot, and what worked for me was just starting with small, sustainable changes—like counting calories and making sure I moved more during the day, even if it was just walking. I also found that eating more veggies and cutting back on snacks helped. It can be tough, but I think the key is staying consistent and checking in with your doctor to make sure your meds are in the right balance.
