> Zyprexa can make you gain weight even if you have no increase in appetite or food intake. It does this by changing the way your body processes sugars and fats. As such, while it is good to monitor your appetite and hunger, it would be wise to jump on a scale once a week to keep track of your weight.

My daily calorie intake is below my calculated resting metabolic rate, is it even possible to gain weight under such circumstances? I eat a very healthy diet, no added sugar, no candy.
We did a baseline about a month ago, and the values were within reference, although I was on Abilify back then, don't know if that skewed the values in some way./t
