Please help me , loves o hear from some vets
hello, nearly 3 yrs ago I had a vsg. I reached my goal weight through daily determination and desire to be healthy, I then maintained it very well, until I hurt my back last year and have spent a lot of time unable to move much , this of course has put on 15 kg slowly but ON, my thought process during this time was wrong as I didn't think much of it, if I was in bed I would eat to be happy, thinking when I come right I start running again, sadly I'm still in daily pain and need to start a food plan again, i,m determined to lose the weight again , it's just that I can't remember my plan through my surgeon anymore
can anyone help me with protein and carb intake please , I'm good with choosing foods as back on target there just can't remember how much protein and carbs I use to have
thank you
Hi, I'm not a vet, but I shoot for at least 80g of protein. I usually keep carbs under 80, but my plan doesn't have me counting carbs, it's really just for my information. I do aim for lower carbs, trying to stay closer to 50. I use the my fitness pal app that breaks everything down & helps me stay on target.
Sorry about your back, hope you feel better soon. I recently hurt my back too, but it's mainly muscle strain. It sucks & all I can think of is how this is throwing my exercise routine right out the window! LOL
