Food craving and consumption evolution in patients starting treatment with clozapine

ConclusionsNo longitudinal differences were found for any of the food craving scores evaluated; however, in the NW group, food craving for “complex carbohydrates/proteins” changed. Thus, changes in “fast-food fats” cravings predicted weight increase in this sample. Interventions targeting food preferences may help to mitigate weight gain in patients starting treatment with clozapine.
