Any solutions for weight loss?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Did anyone find a solution for weight loss during their taper / withdrawal? I'm 5'7 and 122lbs I lost about 10lbs since I began my taper. I have appetite but I have to be careful what I eat. If I throw down pizza or red meat I'm useless for a day or teo because of GI issues

 

Anyone have a diet that worked well for them during withdrawal? Thanks.

 

Edit: to be clear i'm trying to GAIN weight

I find that low carbs work best for me. I try to eat fruits, veggies and nuts every day. Lately I get my most challenging symptoms after I eat. Can't explain it!! Sending you love and support!❤️

Ensure plus in the morning will give you an extra 350 calories.

I have similar diet what sjs wrote plus chicken, yougurt and berries but not the ones having too much sugar. Having 6 small meals a day. My apetite became partly back after my doc adviced me to start taking Elavil, old type of AD drug. Will taper small Elavil dose away maybe after 1 mont I have jumped.

A low carb, high fat, ketogenic diet worked great, for me.  I lost around 60 lbs, have not gone hungry, get to eat good food, imroved my lipid panel, and reversed a fatty liver.  Fats are good for the brain, and, I supect, are important for healing.

Eat every 3-4 hours, low carb, high protein. Low glycemic carbs. Ensure probably saved my life when I was in acute & losing 1-2 pounds a DAY.

 

I would force them down. Actually, Boost was better, now that I think about it.

 

Also, starting mirtazapine really helped my appetite & sleep.
