Diagnosed with bipolar a year ago and since then have gained 60 pounds.Apparently this is a very common side affect of prescribed drugs. I have been on Atkins for a month and have not lost anything! I must admit I cheated once. However, I was wondering if anyone here has same diagnosis and same results on low carb. I totally believe in the low carb wol but am extremely disappointed in no weight loss. Am I doomed to be fat the rest of my life??
thanks for any information (by the way I take tegretol if that matters)
