Hi all, I ve not been on here for some time but have decided to come back here for some support and advice as Im STILL really struggling with my weight.
I was diagnosed with ME/CFS {chronic fatigue}about 10 years ago and the last 5 years its become worse and I ve gained weight. I also have an underactive thyroid for which I take medication for.
My problem is that I cannot find a diet that seems to work for me - with most I lose the norm "2lbs" a week for few week then i always regain and always end back at my original starting weight. I ve tried sole sourcing, fad diets, calorie counting, WW, SW etc yet really struggle.
Ive kept food diaries for years, tried slimming pills from my doc and am at a complete loss as to what I can do to shift my excess weight { 5-6 stone}
My GP runs a weight management clinic but because Im unable to exercise and according to them am eating the right foods they told me i needed to eat low cal low fat but drastically reduce my calories to about 750-800 a day, that was the only advice I was given.
Im beginning to think Im destined to stay this size forever, so just wondered really if there is anyone out there who has /have had ME/CFS and successfully lost weight who wouldnt mind sharing how they managed it as im really desperate!!
Thanks Jx
