Hello,
I am female, am 19 years old, stand at 5' 5", and weigh 185 lbs. I've been working out and trying to lose weight, but nothing seems to work. I've completely changed my diet- smaller portions, lots of veggies, seafood. Usually only eat chicken or fish or shrimp for meat and I work out for 45min. nearly five times a week, but nothing happens! I could understand not having dramatic results, but absolutely NOTHING seems to happen.
A couple weeks ago, I found out I have the auto-immune disease known as Lupus. Dealing with the pain is one thing, but I'm curious if anyone thinks it messes with your metabolism?... I don't take any meds that make me gain weight, but my body seems to refuse to lose it! It seems I have an extremely slow metabolism. I'm hardly ever hungry. Any particular foods I should try eating or diets recommended for those who have Systematic Lupus? My knees hurt usually, but I enjoy cardio workouts and like using elliptical machines. Please help, many thanks!
