weightloss??? help???

Question

i have pretty bad chronic pain problems so i cant really work out more than 45 minutes collectively in a week  (and that is me pushing myself) but i know diet has a huge roll in weightloss. so im looking for diet/lifestyle tips to lose weight. i am 157 and my goal is 140 (the weight i was before my pain took over)

Answer

What are you in chronic pain from? As for diet, high protein (lean), moderate fat, healthy carbs, and of course green veggies. I'm a vegetarian I eat beans, nuts, and soy occasionally for protein. If you do eat meat, eat lean protein like chicken and turkey. Avoid red meat, I read that is bad for arthritis and can inflame your body making it ache more. Get healthy fats from nuts and avacados. Eat lots of vegetables(the fresher the better) leafy greens are great for you. Eat small amounts of fruit, because they're high in sugar. Avoid refined sugars and general junk food as much as possible. For carbs, rice, vegetable pasta, ad quinoa are all super yummy. Use butter and dairy sparingly. Drink plenty of water, keeping hydrated keeps appetite away and prevents bloating. This type diet itself will help you lose weight and can help with some types of body pain. Exercise is important in losing weight though, so even doing a small amount of anything will help. Try something like water aerobics, it is super low impact on the body. Hope this helps. :)

My advice? Eat healthy and lose the weight gradually. I’ve developed a heart problem and severe back pain due to muscle waste because I had a gastric bypass in 2015 and have lost 14 stone in 2 1/2 years. I can’t get the vitamins into me through food and am currently 10 weeks pregnant so need to take a shed load of vitamins. All the best xx

Hi! :) my mother suffers from chronic back pain after a car accident. She took a course on how to understand pain and ignore it and over a few weeks she went from stuck in a bed to walking around for hours a day. It's called a pain clinic. They teach you how to deal with the pain so that it doesn't effect you and workouts to help heal you so you can be up and about. She's had pain since 17 and was 40 when she went. So maybe research if a pain clinic is something your doctor could recommend or research online workouts like this and how to understand and control pain. I understand how hard it can be but if you keep a positive mind you could be feeling much less pain within months. :) good luck if you want the sheet of stretches my mum got from the clinic I can try to dig it up for ya just give me a hola
