I noticed that one of the side effects of many meds is weight gain.
Some meds can slow metabolism , retain water or just make me hungry.
For the metabolism, I started eating more spices that help speed it up like
chili powder, cumin,turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.
Looking forward to your updates.... |
Hi vintagewine,
All I have done is cut out the Junk, balanced my diet, controlled portions and cut calories to 12-1300 per day (under my GP). I fight against Mirtazapine which has psychological effects and Metoclopramide which empties the stomach quickly.
I miss spices, they are a sure trigger for my Hypersensitivity and Neuropathy. For a treat my daughter made chicken curry from scratch on Saturday. The Garam Masala made my already aggravated nerves burn like H… for 24 hours. At least at the time the meal was worth it - 720cals including Basmati Rice.
Dave.
