[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 592619, member: 11791"] The weight-gain cycle... difficult child is on medications that have known weight-gain impacts, and we don't really want him to have to deal with that in the long run. psychiatrist said that with some of these medications the issue is appetite (rather than changes to metabolic rate, for example), in which case what helps is... plan to eat at least 6 times a day, and include protein and fats in every single meal or snack. Spread the calories out so you never get hungry.... but also spread out the protein and fats so the blood sugar stays as even as possible. After 3 years... difficult child "might" have 10 lbs he could lose... mind you, the next three years will tell more of the story, as the last three years are those "growing through the roof" years and he needed every calorie he could get!
