No idea where to start!

BonzaiH · July 2015

Hi,
Am 25 years old was in normal weight range however all this changed when I had my first seizure. Boo. Medication and feeling lousy in general took its toll. Trying to lose 10kg but no idea where to start? And what's a decent length of time to lose it in

thanks heaps!

Also look for a low to zero calorie food. So you're aware which is which. I'm doing something different which is a low carb high fat foods, which to my surprise I have lost 4 kilos in 3 months. Slow lost but it is a lost.

There's no zero calorie foods. All foods have calories.

Start by logging everything you put in your mouth. The more accurate your diary the better your chances at success. A food scale will be a great investment.

Also, since your weight gain is linked to a medical issue and medications, talk to your doctor(s) before you go all out, especially if you're going to start or increase exercising.
