I must say that I've consistently read, heard and personally experienced one thing with Zyprexa and weight gain - decrease the carbs and go with higher protein diet, such as the Zone diet, Atkins or others.
In fact, Dr. Daniel Amen who's Mr. ADHD expert strongly suggests a "higher protein diet along with a lot of veggies..." quoting from two of his books and website.
Personally I don't much care for all the BS that comes with calorie counting via the Zone diet or Atkins. However, simply boosting my lean meat, nuts and good sources of protein, plus adding more salads and veggies have prevented me from gaining the weight I initially gained BEFORE I came across this information.
Smiles Always... hope this helps
