Eat a moderate amount of carbs, but make
sure it whole wheat stuff. Restrict meat
to lean, and possibly fish - good for diet
- good for bipolar. When it comes to weight
excercise is really more important than
food intake.My moms on lithium and it does make it more
difficult to loose weight for two reasons.
Increased apetite and decreased energy.
If it seems like the meds are causeing the
stumbling block, talk to your doctor
about alternative mood stabalizers.
Eliminating or severtly restricting any
food group when you have a mental illness
is deadly. No offense but being a vegan
can be devistating if you have a mental illness.Good Luck
