Partner with COPD ,

[3snow4]

My partner has been advised to lose weight,he weighs 18st 6 lbs 5ft 7ins

He takes steroids for his copd which doesn't help.

He walks as much as he can and play's bowls.

He does like a couple of whisky's of an evening which I explained is about 340 calories.

I do not live with him but cook us both a dinner every evening,but not being there all the time not sure counting calories is the way forward for him.

I used the NHS 12 week plan myself about 2 years ago and lost about 2 stone maintain at 10 stone,not sure if this is the plan for him though.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thank you

Welcome back, 3snow4

Would your partner not like to join us himself, to gain from the ongoing advice and support?

You may both find this interesting, as it shows how a low carb diet is helpful for people with lung disease dietdoctor.com/low-carb/for...

If you search the rest of the Diet Doctor website (it's not necessary to pay), you'll get a much better understanding of the LCHF way of eating and dozens of delicious recipes. There's no calorie counting involved either.

This is also a nice straightforward guide healthunlocked.com/api/redi...

As a reminder, All of the information you need about the forum can be found in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/weight-l... and we hope you'll be joining all the Events, Challenges and Clubs that we run, especially a weigh-in and the daily diary.

We've found active participation to be key to successful weight loss and, of course, it's a good way to get to know people, find inspiration and share support and encouragement.

Wishing you all the best
