I didn't know that. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case with me. I have had a heck of a time trying to fight weight gain since I began taking Abilify. The drug is definitely "weight-neutral" for me.
Thanks for the explanations.
> When liver glycogen is full, the liver repackages glucose into Trig (basically as fat) for use/storage by rest of body. switching calories from carb to fat would be good, even if calories remain the same and there isn't weight loss. legumes and nuts are good replacements for grain or processed food. Sugar is the worst. Probably the drugs are interfering to some degree with signaling to the liver of glucose stores in the body.
