I would NEVER try anything so silly without help; for it would be far to risky to your heart and kidneys (on top of just the "muscle" waste)
My plan DOES have a "Re-Feeding" of Carbs, but only after my weight has returned to normal.  These new habits are Behavior modifications.
I was walking and riding bike (on average of 5 miles 4 days a week)... but then I had to be rushed to the ER (first time ever) due to severe pain under my right rib cage (liver mass found) in the fall, so now I am trying the elliptical. I have also lost part of my Left Lung to cancer (non smoker).
Thanks for your input!! |
I am really curious to see how this all is going to work out for you! Elliptical is my favorite cardio machine by far; it is the easiest on my joints and knees (I have had 2 knee surgeries- torn ACL and torn Meniscus). You sure have been through a lot for someone so young, but I'm sure it has given you the toughness to tackle your weight loss quest!
Please keep us updated on how this is working for you!
