On the flip side, my sis is HYPER, and went on meds for it, and started to gain weight because she ate as tho she wasn't on the meds. As soon as she hit a healthy weight, she had to start eating like a more average person to stop the gain, and it was a bit of a shock to her.
But other than meds, I don't know what else you can do. I've always had Tricare, and always had access to medication and doctors, so never had to do the no-medication thing.
