[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2234295, member: 365308"] Hi and well done on your weight loss in spite of being on meds and restricted in your exercise! As a PT, I'd say do fill up on the fat that naturally comes with the low carb food you are eating. If you try to double down on both fat and carb, you will be hungry and may be depriving yourself of vitamins and minerals which need fat to help them get absorbed. Trulicity is supposed to help weight loss by stopping you from making quite so much of your own glucose via the liver and isn't linked with weight gain so that's good. Exercises that are good to burn fat: [LIST=1] [*]Sit to stand - how many can you do in 1 minute? Use the sides of the chair if needed but work towards no hands! [*]Push up against a wall - hands at shoulder width level with chest then lean into the wall with your head up and push back. You can progress to having the hands lower e.g. a kitchen worktop or onto the floor! [*]Sit in a chair and lift something heavy above your head e.g. 2 tins or weights or water bottles [*]Marching on the spot if your sore joints allow it [*]Squats holding onto the back of a chair keeping head up with knees shoulder width apart and keeping the weight in your heels [*]Lie on your back and lift the hips up whilst squeezing your bottom muscles. [*]Find reasons to use the stairs especially after you've just eaten and need to get rid of the energy in your muscles (glycogen) to avoid storing any carbs as fat. [/LIST] There are a few ideas and if you were to look on the internet you 'd find lots of ideas for those who are less fit or have knee issues e.g. chair based exercises. [/QUOTE]
