Medical reason for losing 1 stone weight loss quickly

[Russiawithlove]

Hoping I can get some advice.

Healing from a leg fracture and although not massively overweight I'm 9st 13 and should be about a stone lighter. I'm 5 ft 2 with petite build.
To put less stress on my weight bearing tib/fib fracture I've been advised to lose the weight to help.
My cast comes off in 3 weeks.
I need to keep up nutrition though for my healing.

Any suggestions would be great.

Hi Russia 🙂. Have you thought about low or no carb for quick results? Another way might be very low fat but allowed some carbs. My DH has just been diagnosed with gallstones and we're doing very low fat. It's actually not bad, just a matter of slightly adapting recipes and another advantage is you do feel full but not bloated. We've been doing this for two weeks now and clothes are already feeling a little looser😀. So all good in lots of ways.

Hi yes I think low carb is the only way to do it. Looked on a diet plan.
I can have 1 tbsp of brown rice daily.
Gutted I have to do this 2 weeks before Christmas. Looks like Turkey and veg only for Christmas dinner.

I was 9st 10 in September and have lost a stone just by not eating processed foods. I still have the odd treat 2/3 times a week but have upped the veg and lowered carbs.

Yes to upping the veg and protein.
You can still have some carbs if you opt for the low fat way. For example we had a roast dinner on Sunday which was skinless chicken breast, loads of veg, and just two parboiled and dry roasted potatoes (rather than the mountain I usually do 😁). I also found some knorr chicken stock pots which were very low in fat and I just thickened with flour and added water.

That's an amazing result in just a few months Nightgarden!

I’m high carb and very low fat (I low carbs and I get sad without them). Lost a stone in the first two weeks. Since then it’s been between 2-4 pound for the last 6 weeks. Good luck!

That's bloody amazing too Highginx😲

You are all giving me lots of inspiration .Thank you so much

I've been doing slimming world & lost the lost the week I had lots of homemade soups just veggies & lots of eggs.

Thank you. I always lose fast at first - I think low fat/ high carb just suits me. I’m a big believer that everyone’s right diet is completely tailor-made to their own body chemistry (based on nothing, I should add!)
