Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I grew up as a very skinny little girl. After having my children I was 5'10" and only 114lbs. I stupidly forced myself to gain weight in the wrong manner with the wrong foods.Then when I quit smoking I gained another very fast 50lbs. Now I am stuck trying to lose this weight and I have bad knees which makes it very hard to excercise.
Treatments
- Atkins Diet Working / Worked
- worked the first time, but too restricting
- Counting Calories Working / Worked
- This works well for me if I excercise with it. This is really my best bet, but I keep trying for a faster way
- Dancing Working / Worked
- This worked well along with counting calories. I did Richard Simmons dancing and loved ituntil my knees gave out
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- works as long as I keep it up
- Eat Less Somewhat Helpful
- hard for me since I was always skinny I had a very high metabolism and a very hardy appetite. Now eating less is like starvation to me. I just need to eat different foods
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- This works well for me when I can do it. I have mega excercise videos and used them faithfully 5 days a week until my knees gave out. I also belong to a gym like CURVES but again my knees won't take it any more. I have had surgery and am doing therapy
- Slim-Fast Somewhat Helpful
- keeps me maintaining but not much loss.Only do 1 shake a day instead of 2 meals
- South Beach Diet Working / Worked
- This one also worked for me. I don't know why I ever quit. I think pasta got me or bread LOL!!!
Close Gout
I believe I have GOUT also. I have not yet beenn diagnosed, but I have the same symptoms as my father and husband who have both been diagnosed for sure. I have it in my left ankle very badly and have had minor attacks in my toes for years. I notice a difference with TUNA FISH and WINE. Haven't tried beer since it has been bothering me so I'm not sure about that, but I know beer bothers my husband alot.
Treatments
- Cherries Working / Worked
- I have been doing high protein diets for a few months now and I have had problems with my ankle ever since I started. I happened to be in the health food store and they suggested BLACK CHERRY JUICE. It works wonders as long as I take it. If I quit it comes back.
