If you burn more calories than you eat it's not possible to maintain or gain weight.> I'll tolerate it but people with schizophrenia live 15-20% less years than other people because of cardiac issues brought on by AP's.
The APs are not really to blame per se. They increase appetite which can (will) cause weight gain and then obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance etc. It's the diabetes that causes cardiovascular problems.
Solution: Control your weight/BMI, regular blood tests./tensor
