hey all,
I have kind of a strange dilemma. The time I lost weight I did a high protein, moderate carb, low fat diet and it worked well. I recently found out I may have Acute Intermittent Porphyria. Because of this, I can not limit carbs at all. The dr. actually wants me to eat a lot more carbs. On top of that, I'm not supposed to cut calories more than 250 calories below maintenance. I didn't take it seriously at first, but I ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks, semi-psychotic, unable to eat or drink anything, with horrible stomach pains. Ended up getting a clot and dropped 15 pounds in that 2 week period. i was SICK!
Since then, I've been listening to the Dr. The problem is, I can not lose weight! It takes me a month just to lose one pound. I dont have time to exercise 4 to 5 hours like I used to so I'm barely crawling along. It's making me crazy! I was just curious as to whether or not anyone had any tips on losing weight that aren't diet related, like maybe exercise at a certain time, etc. Thanks so much in advance.
