I forget whether you have a lot of bradykinesia/akinesia.... for me that is where weight gain takes over....

Hi all,
Well I know the extra weight is not good regardless of PD...I don't imagine I'll return to my "skinny" jeans but just getting within 10 lbs of what I used to weight would be nice. Thanks for the good advice and words of support. I will definitely start out gradually.
Robert, I can get to be a crank fuss with no food. I think I will try to go from rising to late afternoon then have a very lite supper for the first few weeks. Over night I am essentially fasting too so with that if I go until 4 pm without eating that is still 10 to 12 hours including sleeping.
Lindy, my little guy seems to be a natural intermittent eater. He chows down one day and barely eats the next...his diet prompted me to revisit what t I had read about intermittent fasting and how good it is for us. I figured "when in Rome...", but I can understand how difficult it would be to do with a teenager around. Also, glad to hear your meds worked better.
If anyone wishes to try this along with me...please let me know. Misery loves company.
