Pre-diabetic on antipsychotics: should I keep forcing big seasonal weight loss?

[Anonymous]

My weight currently fluctuates, by a difference of a gain or loss of fifteen kilograms. I lose that in cooler months and regain it in warmer months, as a side effect of my medication. There currently aren’t any antipsychotics that have been legally approved in Australia yet, only in the USA. I’m pre-diabetic and I’m fat. Should I keep doing this each autumn/winter, while I’m waiting for the weight loss drugs to be approved? It gets too hot to eat in spring and summer, to eat the amount of low fat foods it takes to lose weight.

Work with your MD and (most likely) a dietician to stabilize your weight, starting with exercise before making the food changes. Then deal with the GLP's (or whatever type) of Rx's. But DO see your doc before doing anything.

One of my good mates is diabetic, we found that daily walking cutting out refined sugars and eating fruits instead and blueberries really helped him and also foods with minimal refined sugars.

Semaglutide remove fat from liver, lower blood sugar, in higher doses significant weight loss.

I've found diets with lots of fiber in them help control weight, have you tried any of them?

Only your doctors can answer that.
