Thank you so much everyone for the compliments :) BTW, i cheated all this week.. Not that I indulged badly, but I had two meals a day. :( So I am definitely going to see a gain in this week's report. This weekend will be a family gathering event. That will make OMAD difficult. Starting Monday, I am definitely going to be…

Hi Everyone! I hope all of you are doing well. Wanted to update you all that I actually had a 9 mm of broken cartilage floating in my knee joint which had been causing all the trouble for the past 2 months. It was possibly caused by one of my workouts. I had to get an arthroscopy done to have it removed along with a lot of…

Thank you so much everyone for your suggestions and well wishes. I am truly glad to have all the support. I am going strong and have started low impact exercises like leg raises and all which strengthen the muscles around the knees without putting weight and pressure on them. I have accepted that I have OA but the good…

Hi guys! I couldn't update my weekly progress as I am still fighting knee pain and swelling. Finally it is clear that it's the initial stages of osteoarthritis. The only way out is rest and weight loss and of course a good diet. I am still doing OMAD on most days. So even if I may not update, I am not off my path. :)

Hey all! Thank you all for checking on my thread.. It really feels so nice to have people who care for me, although we have never met. God bless you all. I feel blessed to have you all :) I have good news. Swelling is really going down. All the remedies, including turmeric tea, flax seed powder, omega 3 supplements and…

Hi Everyone! My knee is a little better now. The swelling has gone down a bit. I am taking Ultracet prescribed by my doc. I am also doing low carb with OMAD which seems to help. I too noticed that my swelling goes up with more carbs. I have also started omega 3 supplements along with 2 tbsp of Flaxseed powder everyday. The…

Thank you so much guys. Still dealing with the swelling and stiffness. Unable to take leave from work, although I have a desk job, it still involves moderate walking. I have stopped taking anti-inflammatories and pain killers as they started to show side effects including upset stomach and loose bowels. However, situation…

Absolutely! Looks like its just a sprained tendon around the knee. The swelling and stiffness is still there but a little bit lesser now. Taking it easy for now. No workout. Just my OMAD. I do have light breakfast to go with my morning dose of meds.

Thanks guys.. I am now going on low carb diet plus more of omega 3 fats.. Will be seeing my doctor too..

Thanks Sarah, will try it out!

Reports are here. Everything is fine except my ESR level. Its 40 while the normal range is 0 to 30..will bw seeing my doc this weekend. Any suggestions? I googled and found that avoiding inflammatory foods ia the key. Will possibly need to cut out carbs as one of the main dietary changes. Anyone experienced this? My knee…

Hi Everyone! Couldn't post week 25 update as I am too occupied with work and some renovation at home. Two weeks ago I sprained my left knee while doing squats and jumping jacks so much that its still stiff and swollen. i have no pain though,but I can't fold my leg completely. I am waiting for the blood reports and an xray…

Week 22 results: So here I am reporting a gain this week. Although its nothing, but I know that I had managed to lose more by middle of the week and then gained it all back. Very bad on my part that I binged knowingly. Now its done and I am going to fix it. Planning a fast starting now to kind of get out of 170's. I know…
