I went to an internist specializing in weight loss yesterday. He recommended the South Beach Diet. I may give it a try. I mentioned to him the exercise routine I currently have about 20 mins per day walking my dog about 20 mins doing my back exercises and 30-40 minutes on the Gazelle at home or treadmill or other cardio item at the gym. He said if I have fibro like the other doctors think I am one of the more active people with it he knows. He recommended that I do a cardio workout of 45 mins with my heart rate between 120-130 and a 5-10 min. warm up. I tried to do the 45 minutes of more strenous exercise yesterday and this morning and ended up in a lot of pain. I left a message for him about it. I am willing to keep exercising but can't make it so strenous that I am in a lot of pain even doing it. I am use to pain with exercise with fibro but not as much as I was experiencing. He also suggested I give Phentermine a try which I am. I know to keep the weight off if the drug works I will have to keep exercising and watching what I eat. I know it's not a cure all, but I decided to give it a try.
