QuestionHi Lela, I'm 29 years old, and within the last 9 months I have lost 25kg (before I was 101kg before with 176cm height). My goal weight is 70kg which is think is normal for my height. During my weight loss I had a fibromyalgia attack (beginning of this year) which has kept me from exercising for many months. I have gotten better and can now go swimming. Which foods can you recommend that can help me burn off calories faster? I am very careful with what I am eating calorie-wise, but I obviously need energy food to get me through the day. Hope you're having some ideas.
AnswerSusanne,
Well we can start with the foods that are known to trigger fibro attacks- Namely aspartame, MSG, sugar, caffeine,yeast, gluten, dairy, Tomatoes, chili and bell peppers, potatoes, and eggplant.
If you can reduce flare ups, you can be more active and keep weight off. A vegetarian diet has shown some promise, though fish and fish oil have great promise as well. Try adding green tea to your routine, it is a metabolism booster.
Hope this helps,
Lela Simon
