Hello everyone this is first post on this site......
Ive just gone through major surgery (foot reconstruction) and will be in a cast for 6wks (no weight bearing on injured foot} and an aircast boot for a further 4 wks
With the help of crutches and a wheel chair i can get around but otherwise its bed, bathroom and sofa
and vice versa for about 10 wks so lots of inactivity watching crap tv and dvd.
I'm looking for advice on diet and exercise as i''m concerned i may put on weight.
About three months ago and knowing this was about to happen i started watching carb intake.
I have been given exercises for the leg on damaged foot however i need to look at upper body.
I would appreciate if there was someone out there that could give me some advice.
Thanks in advance.......

Re: Urgent Advice!!
What are your current meal choices and what times do you eat them?
This migh be potentially the primary focus for now, but of course muscle stimulation can feature too, as there's no reason to assess one thing and rebuff the other, but I think focus on diet just at this moment should be the main thing
