Hi passionfruit,
I didn’t reach diabetic but high risk, I put on a lot of weight on psych meds too.
Not sure about the diabetes being induced by the meds directly but thought it came from the weight side effects of the meds – in which case should respond the same way as most type 2 ???? That’s my theory anyway.
As someone following this plan whilst being on psych meds (Sertaline and Quetiapine) I have lost almost 2 stone over 8 weeks (16 to 14; I am 5ft 10). That included some days ‘off plan’ as in Totally Off – the depressed lets eat a whole (serves 4) cheesecake was a classic.
So can you lose weight on this plan whilst still on meds that give you the munchies – yes you can. The full fat is filling which helps, as does banning temptation from the house – and trying to avoid accidental shopping. That is a risk factor for me…
