Prior to the metabolic syndrome I acquired from Seroquel my weight was excellent. I was never once on any kind of specific diet. I was conscious of eating wholesome foods, and did most of my shopping at a natural foods co-op. Plenty of whole grains, a decent amount of veggies, a lot of fruit, snacks such as dulce (sea weed)...I've always loved chocolate, too, though. I've never eaten much meat or fish. If I did eat fish, it was usually salmon.
Because I never had a big appetite, my portions were small. I was never super involved with much exercise until my 40's, when I started bicycling, dancing, and running.
Then I went on Seroquel and my weight and health all went to hell.
