Eat less.

Eat less. Most of my 30+ pounds of weight loss was done with no exercise component. I find it much easier to not eat calories than to try and burn them off. Why suffer hunger and exertion?

For anyone, whether they suffer physical limitations or not, "90% if weight loss is in kitchen."

The physical and time effort required to burn extra calories through intentional exercise is significantly higher than the physical and time effort to consume those same calories.

How long does it take you to eat a cheeseburger? How long does it take you to burn those same calories while exercising?

The trick is controlling your diet, such that you hit a caloric goal that is developed based around your actual needs.

For me, that meant cutting out calorie-dense foods (generally candies, sweets, chips, sodas, juices, cheese, beef) and increasing choices that provide as much or more bulk with fewer calories - chicken. lots of chicken. cabbage. zucchini.

I then learned that proteins and fats tend to be more filling on the long-term than carbs, and noticed that carbs tend to be more calorie dense (at least sweets and chips) - so i started specifically reducing sugars and cooking with bacon grease. I still enjoy potatoes, and the occasional chip. I am not carb-free - but my food choices are about maximizing flavor and hunger-satiation in calorically efficient ways.

I now have a culinary routine that really pleases me, at significantly fewer calories than i used to eat. And i get by with major meal prep once or twice a week and eat almost all of my meals self-prepared, as opposed to eating almost all my meals at restaurants or fast food joints before i started losing weight.

Hi my name is Yasmin I used to be quite fit always road my bike always walking places things like that but I found out I had fibromyalgia nearly 2 years ago its quite difficult because it causes chronic pain all over the body you constantly hurt nd tired since I had it I can't exercises much and because of it I've out loads of weight on whats the quickest way to loose weight with my condition?

My mom has fibro, so I understand the struggle.

I'd say talk with your doctor, see a dietician. Figure out how any drugs you may be taking effect you, and start logging what you are currently eating (weigh solids on a food scale, and measure liquids). Get a handle on that, then start cutting back. I'd go with a relatively small deficit. Fibro is hard enough without dealing with hunger!

That said, my mom does enjoy things like walking. She often can't because of severe migraines, but when that wasn't an issue, it helped her feel better even with fibro.

Try reducing your carbohydrate intake, I've been seeing results in weightloss since doing this was just keeping my calories below 1300 according to my life on mfp but took advice from another mfp to lower carbs and finding in 3 weeks loss 8 lbs so try it could work for you too

I had CFS for several years in my 20s. I eventually made an almost-full recovery, though I never got all of my energy back and I still get very achy if I am under bad stress for a prolonged time. One of the first things I did that made a difference in the CFS was to take Shiitake mushroom extract. I still use various types of mushroom extracts. They're helpful to some people in modulating immune system function.
