#postcovidweightgain — Public Fediverse posts

I’m trepidatious about going on a limited diet, but I’m also hopeful it will help reverse the constant weight gain I’ve been experiencing since getting COVID in October. When I was doing fitness competitions about ten years ago, I was on a strict paleo diet. It’s a ridiculous name for the diet, but it cut out a lot of the things which were triggering my gut issues. I know it’s not good for everyone, but I thrived on it. I was made of muscle. The problem is, eating that way is so incredibly difficult and often expensive, and it can potentially lead to disordered eating. Fortunately, I don’t have to go quite that restrictive this time. I won’t have to give up my morning porridge because that’s done wonders for my digestive system. But no more sugars or simple carbs for a while. Gonna miss popcorn. Gonna miss my tea with a lump of brown sugar. Hopefully my old clothes will start fitting again, too. Really tired of having to keep buying new clothes every few months. And hopefully I’ll feel healthier, too. #PostCovidWeightGain #CovidRecovery #Diet #Health #Digestion #Metabolism
