Welcome to Psych Central kogcolgate. Sorry for your weight concerns. I find the type of food affects me also although meds are a definite influence. I stick to a low carb, moderate to high protein diet with many non-starchy vegetables and fruits like grapefruit, cantelope and strawberries that are lower in sugar.
There are many nice, caring people here. Feel free to private message me or any community liason by left clicking on their name underlined in blue to the left of the post and selecting Send a private message to .....[their name]
