After an injury, you should always start with a simple one and not force yourself to do more than necessary. Even if you want to recover as quickly as possible, you will only hurt yourself through the wrong actions. Calorie count will help you lose extra weight. Slimming is 80% nutrition and 20% sport.
Be kinder to yourself!*
Yep. I was a "keto guy", and did lose some weight. But I did some further research at the urging of my doctor.
What I found scared the hell out of me.
I switched to fruits & veggies, whole grain, beans, nuts & seeds. Nutritional excellence.
Feel better. Lost additional 15 lbs. Currently at my ideal weight- no noticeable body fat. Blood work better than ever. Stopped taking blood pressure meds (111/71), and stopped cholesterol meds too. Completely drug-free.
I think the blue words are valuable. This is basically how the healthiest, most slender people eat--worldwide.
If I were you, I'd invest in a how to cook simple Mediterranean meals--and what to drink and snack on. Some nuts, rice cakes, etc.
A bit of cheese is fine as a condiment (think of a bit of feta cheese crumbled on top of a Greek salad).
But cow dairy is for baby cows to grow on --eating or drinking a lot of dairy is not good for weight loss or heart/arteries (drink the cow, be the cow??). Fermented dairy such as kefir or yogurt is healthy--but can be high in calories/sugars.
Focus on lots of veggies, whole fruits, bean/legumes, whole grains and plenty of water...use extra virgin olive oil. Make your own salad dressings from EVO and vinegar...
Exercise is great for so many reasons, but truly, you cannot outrun your fork...
I often wonder how our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents made it without the help of nutritionists. Gotta give it to the ancestors.
They got up early and ate protein and fat (eggs and bacon), then often walked to work and/or worked at manual labor. No snacking! Then they ate a big meal at mid-day of all whole, natural foods (no junk or processed food) and walked back to work and/or worked manually again. If there was a mid-afternoon snack, it was at most an apple or a handful of nuts (remember "it will ruin your appetite"?). Then a light dinner around 6:00, at least my ancestors, and early to bed. Now we sit in a car or at a desk and stare at a screen all day and eat high-sugar, high-carb food, mostly for entertainment... See the difference?
