Hi . Was on this site a while back , couldn't understand it . I will try again. I have been diagnosed with a swollen kidney . Having a nuclear imagery MRI. Scan on thursday. Also I have afib. I am 80 years old though so I suppose I have to expect these things. Wear and tear. I am 3 stone overweight . I have tried so hard to lose weight, but I only take my dog out once a day . Don't move about much . Have tried slimming world, WW. Only lose couple pounds then it stops. Probably you think she is too old ,why bother. I am not ready to go yet. So I think I would feel better if could lose a few pounds. Thank you for reading this.

I have afib. (Supposedly cured by ablations)
I lose weight when I was disabled - you can lose weight without exercise - but doing what exercise you can does help.
The High-Carbohydrate, Low-Fat diet has, I think and hope, been confined to history.
Try cutting out Grains, Potatoes and Sugar, and set a time in the evening after which you do not eat.
Pineapple27 is the expert on weight loss for members who cannot exercise much, and I expect that she will chip in here and give you some advice.
Some experts do not recommend Intermittent Fasting (IF) for the elderly.
