I gained 30 lbs in 3 weeks on zyprexa I had to go off it. All I wanted to eat was swiss rolls and cheeseburgers. No wonder I gained all that weight. Cause I literally ate a box of swiss rolls a day and a couple cheeseburgers and I didn't care cause I was so depressed. Then my clothes didn't fit.
But like christina said, cut carbs. Also cut sugar, eat more fruits and veggies, low cal soups, protein. If you ABSOLUTELY need carbs eat something with a whole grain tortilla. Have snacks of nuts, almond yogurt with organic baby food (omg it tastes horrible), cut dairy, cut potatoes, no white rice switch to brown rice or quinoa and a whole serving is a whole 1/2 cup. If you need a form of potato eat half a sweet potato. Berries are a good snack. a small amount Hummus and carrots or celery. celery with a small amount of peanut butter. stop drinking diet drinks they don't help with weight and there's studies they actually make you gain weight, make flavored tea with a small amount of liquid stevia (available at trader joes, whole foods, health food stores). don't get truvia it's got added chemicals to it. Stick to lean cuts of turkey, chicken, fish like salmon. One snack I'd always have was a can of tuna, half a diced avocado, half a cucumber, a little bit of olive oil, and lime juice. Cook your own food. Look up low calorie meal prepping recipes so you can make a lot at a time and have for the week. That's what I do. Processed stuff is full of crap and a lot of sodium. If you get prepackaged stuff look for things with the least amount of ingredients. Oh yeah, salads. I always forget salads cause I don't eat them. There's this salad dressing that has 0 calorie salad dressing from walden farms. I found the easiest one to eat was the italian. *man that's some bad flashbacks to 2014*
Stopping weight gain is hard and it isn't fun and I have ate some horrible stuff just because I had to eat and choked stuff down. All my weight does is go up and down if I don't eat right. After I get over these opiate withdrawals back to eating stuff I hate. Don't touch my homemade mac and cheese rn. I find when I load up on protein is when I have the most success with weight. ugghg the protein powder I have no is horrible and I have to retool everything listed above cause I'm allergic to a lot of it now. You have to retool everything. You can do it though. It's hard but doable. And no more mayo. Use mustard. Another thing I found recently is that if you make breakfast your biggest meal of the day weight is more friendly.
It's really hard to break years of engrained eating habits but it can be done just takes some time. Start slow. What is the saying? Takes 21 days to make a new habit?
Good luck.
I might have been sent to the nutritionist 1 too many times.
