So I didn't order the meat diet. I instead just got myself 1 weeks of food from walmart.

but I wanted to say something about this bitter melon I found out about. google says it can have 263% increase in GLP-1 secretion. For comaprison ozempic is 80%. What's different for bitter melon and ozempic is the half life. Ozempic can last 1 week, but bitter Melon only lasts about 2 hours.

But something that is great with bitter melon is this is a fruit. Just make it part of your diet. I of course don't have bitter melon here, so I buy a supplment to try it. I will get that in about 2 days.

They said the long term effect of bitter melon is hunger suppression, weight loss. So it's saying it can last way more than 2 hours, but this is long term effect of the fruit.

Nothing will supress hunger more than KETO + Intermittent Fasting.

That actually solves the issue, which is blood sugar spikes. It resolves Insulin sensitivity issues and burns fat rather than store it. Most supplements are snake oil.

Many ketogenic foods can be purchased for cheap, for example canned oily fish often in tomato sauce, this is low carb and high nutrients, can be had in my country for around $1-1.50. Chicken thighs are often cheap too. Offal is another one to look for.
 
So I look this up with yerba mate. According to swanson the single tablet is about the same as 500mg of leaf of the yerba mate. According to google 1g of yerba mate is only about 7mg to 10mg caffeine. Not very much caffeine in one of those tablets. The tablet works really well for weight loss, just like ozempic.
 
Like I didn't take the Yerba mate...

I was able get a doctor change my medicine to Caplyta. I will be coming off the rirsperdal and taking the Caplyta. Caplyta is weight neutral, and better for the metabolic health.

No hormone changes with Caplyta either. This means I will have a spike of hormones after ending risperdal, because of the imbalance it already is making.

So, with Caplyta hormones, hunger, sugar levels, will be coming down to normal levels, because Caplyta don't cause those problems. Risperdal does cause those problems.

A problem with Caplyta is you cannot conceive or make someone pregnant though.

you have a medical journal keeping track of the side effects and how everything makes you feel, times taken etc.
 
Still waiting for pharmacy to fill the order. They said the need order it because there was not enough in storage.
 
So with the caplyta kicked in and the respirdal gone, I no longer am hungry. Today I checked my weight and was 10 pounds lighter. According to google the first response to this change is water weight. Google says it takes 3 months to reverse the metabolic problem that respirdal caused. So long as I eat right, the weight should keep reducing, now that my body will be running it's metabolic systems normal. I should see big changes at first, because I have 411 pounds.

The respirdal was hurting me, I was in pain from it. I have been feeling much better. It's been reported that making this change, caused people to return to their normal BMI. And this was without exercise or specialty dieting.

Why not just make thing simple and cheap? Eat half of what you usually eat. People tend to overeat nowadays.

so after you had said this. I had already been changed to caplyta and the respirdal was being reduced. With the respirdal I required much more food, 16 oz. 8 oz was not enough. Now, I can eat 8 oz pre-prepped dinner and feel just fine.

I promise you keep a food journal you will lose weight. If you are forced to write down everything you eat you will think about what you put into your mouth. Do it for 30 days. If you really wanted to step it up , you could track calories.

That is a great idea. Now that the medicine has changed, the underlying problem is fixed. Now I should do just that, and take a look at what I am doing. What I need to do now, is follow that book I talked about. With the risperdal changed, it's just a matter of time now.

Google has told me it takes 3 months to get your metabolic reversed from risperdal. From what it's describing, my body is filled with sugar and insulin. It has also told me that coming off risperdal, causes high spikes in dopamine.

Faith w/o works is dead. Faith ("an expected outcome") for you getting slim down and healthy; requires works. Journalling, walking , exercising. Our faith is not a passive faith, treating God as a genie but together you can do it. It starts daily.

I agree with this. I have been running my spinning wheel making yarn. It takes me over 3 hours threadling time. According to google for 3 hours at my weight, it's about 880 kcalories. Google has suggested that I also take two 5 minutes walks each day. Small bite sized walks, because the weight is too much for my ankles and knees. The biggest change, the most important was switching the medicine. Because risperdal not only causes weight gain, it prevents weight loss.

I was having an allergic reaction to Caplyta. It was causing itch feelings all over, with sharp pains. And, it was giving me anxiety which felt like a low pressure in my chest. When I found out I was having allergic reaction, I also discovered that I had forgetting to drink fluid that day. I was dehydrated. Then when I tried to drink kool aid, I started to feel sick. I ended up going to the ER room. Looks like I can keep taking Caplyta, but with benadryl.

great job, keep it up ... remember you might be losing a lot of water weight in the beginning. The first month is the easiest, but consistency is key.

I started back on my diet last week and fell off big time. Restarting again this week.
It's been difficult at times because food becomes my comfort in times of stress.
