For weight loss, I try to cut back sugar intake, eat a little less and take walks. If you want to go gung-ho, add some weight lifting and exercises to a routine.

That's just buying into the same flawed hypothesis that weight maintenance is a problem of "calories in— calories out". It has been a spectacular failure, long-term, for 98% of the people who try implementing it. Only by increasing caloric restriction and making oneself miserable can weight-loss be maintained this way because the body always tries to achieve balance (homeostasis). Just REDUCING intake will ALWAYS trigger a compensatory reduction in calories burned off, by reducing metabolic rate and movement.
Obesity/overweight is much more complicated than that (the calories in— calories out). It is a problem of enery production at a cellular (mitochondrial) level, often caused by a combination of nutrient deficiencies plus toxic exposures, including such food toxins as omega 6 fatty acids from the universally over-eaten industrial seed oils (soy oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, etc.).
When exercise helps, it is probably more because of its effect on stimulating mitogenesis instead of its effect from calorie use.
But people tend to "put the cart before the horse". They exercise to force energy use. Instead, increasing cellular energy availability automatically makes one WANT to move to use the energy "overflow". Why are little kids ALWAYS moving around? Jumping, waving arms, can't hold still? It's BECAUSE they have so many young, healthy mitochondria! They are BURSTING with energy! Why are old people usually so sedentary? Why do people typically get increasingly fat as they get older?They have comparatively very few (or few healthy) mitochondria remaining!
ALL overweight people are creating cellular energy at sub-par levels! ALL need to work on their mitochondrial health. Poor-functioning mitochondria are also one of the key elements of the Redox Imbalance that underpins every chronic disease. (Oxidation-reduction state in cells.)
Several small meals a day, perhaps 5 or so, will help preclude storage of your calories. Eat, digest, and if the amount is kept small, you won't be storing the fats and carbs in your diet. Eat too much at one sitting and your body will realize it has to store that food energy, unfortunately starting at the waistline.
During Covid I started intermittent fasting. I eat 12 hours .. fast 12 hours...I did NOT what I ate in beginning.. since 2021 I’ve lost 53 lbs...it’s FREE & easy
Due to chronic /pain health issues, I cannot exercise & all I do is little walking with my dog ..
Hi Julie! I am highly interested in people's success stories. If I may ask, about how old are you? (Young, mid-life, old?)
Eating too frequently keeps blood insulin too high, and insulin is the "fat storage" hormone. But many other factors are also involved in weight balance. And chronic pain conditions complicate things. May I inquire about your other health practices? Are you taking any magnesium or vitamin C or D supplements? B-complex? Thiamine, riboflavin, or niacin/niacinamide? Calcium supplements or ant-acids?
Hmmm . . . I recently read a rather odd article about a previously unknown connection between chronic pain and nerves in the skin. I'll have to see if I can find that again.

All my “health” numbers are perfect 👍 🙏.

If you want to email me jpspatz@icloud.com we could do it privately lol.
But I’m 60 & gained the weight after I became “fully disabled” from chronic pain at 28 ...
Found it! Let me know what you think about this:
"Could this be the beginning of the end of chronic pain?"

That’s a great article. I have tried most of those treatments.. but I’m gonna check out the Dilantin for neuropathy for my ❤️ .. thank you 🙏
I will check this out. My pain is from internal surgical adhesions which keep my internal organs stuck together.
So, it’s a little different from usual chronic pain from nerves/inflammation 🙏.

That’s too much common sense
