I have various autoimmune diseases, some still unknown, and last year was brutal. I was ill for 8 months and on heavy duty steroids to kill off my immune system as my blood cells leaked blood. It was painful.
Fast forward 1 month post steroids and I have to lose 55kgs, not easy in your mid-50’s. I’m only 160 cms tall. I can’t exercise as I have ILD and since weaning off steroids, and having no cortisol yet, I feel every ache in my body.
I’m doing a combination of Lite n Easy (meal delivery service) and Optislim Platinum (protein shakes mixed with skimmed milk). I plan to shake up my diet every 10kg so I don’t plateau, so will focus on high protein for the next 10 kg.
I don’t eat much which is why I’m having the shakes, as otherwise, left to my own devices, I will eat a very small amount and then just snack all the time. I also have EDS and POTS, along with other things such as ASD Level 2 and ADHD.
I’m joining this sub so that I can keep myself accountable and also log my journey, in case anyone is interested.
