What should I do about chronic fatigue and pain that don't improve even with dieting and strength training?

Is life a lifelong journey of dieting...?

I don't know what's wrong or why it's not working effectively.

It's been almost four months since I completely stopped exercising and lived almost passively, but I realized the seriousness of the situation and have been doing Pilates for two months now. I've been making sure to walk about ten thousand steps a day (not walking vigorously... my knees aren't in good condition, so I walk casually...).

I haven't completely quit drinking, but these days I don't drink much, and I don't meet up with friends often because I tend to binge eat when I do, so I haven't been binge eating or drinking.

I am controlling my diet at home as well, almost excluding high-calorie foods and eating a lot of vegetables like tomatoes, lettuce, and kimchi... Maybe my stomach has shrunk, so I can't eat much food;;

Thanks to the vegetables, my intake hasn't increased, but my bowel movements have increased, and I am monitoring it regularly.

Previously, her bowel movements were so infrequent that she only had them once every 3 to 4 days.

I'm really upset about the InBody results I got after just one month.

I lost about 1 kilogram of weight, and it seems that the entire kilogram was lost as muscle.

The body fat index has increased by only 0.2% in the world;;;;;;; Is the visceral fat getting worse gradually?

Keep lying! Lying!! I can't believe this is happening.

 

 

Last summer... the future is April 2024

 

 

This is the result from this morning~~~ I lost 1.7kg, but body fat increased.. My muscle mass was already low, and it decreased even more;;

I also had a good breakfast and wore jeans, so~ the actual weight is actually 51 kilograms. How many kilograms is the real body weight?

 
Your weight can drop to as low as 50.8 kg depending on whether you eat dinner the night before or not.

 

 

 

Since my mom doesn't eat meat at home, I used to meet friends for meals to at least eat some meat, but these days I don't dine out much either, so I'm worried about lacking protein and not building muscle, so I even deliberately bought and am taking this protein supplement.

 

I do challenging 50-minute Pilates core muscle exercises and also cycle for 30 minutes each.

I'm not doing it diligently at home, but I'm doing a little stretching...

Of course, I know my exercise routine is lacking~~ I should be doing it more diligently, but to make excuses, since I have a severe herniated disc, I worry about injuring myself if I stretch alone at home, so exercising isn't easy either.

 

I'm always tired and exhausted even without doing anything special, so I can't move much outside of working hours and commuting. After menopause, I really wonder why I feel so tired and sleepy;;;

I end up lying down almost like a corpse on weekends.. If I make up my mind and go out even for a day, I feel so exhausted the next day that I find it really hard to move, to the point of feeling physically painful.

I can't even take a 50-minute Pilates class properly because of knee pain, neck pain, and back pain, so I can't push myself hard during the class...

If the pain becomes severe while doing it, try lowering the level slightly by switching to a different movement...

 

Recently, I suddenly developed a severe headache again because something else went wrong, and the headache hasn't gone away until now...

At this point, it's not so much about dieting or building muscle... I think what's more important is getting a medical check-up and starting proper treatment...

 

What is wrong with my body?

As a result, the more weight you carry, the more severe the pain from disc and knee issues due to the load, so you can't avoid dieting. However, even with some weight loss through exercise and diet control, muscle mass decreases and body fat increases, which really dampens my motivation.

 

What kind of diet should I follow to reduce body fat and increase muscle mass~ and escape from this exhausting painful sensation?

 

Someone told me.

I really don't know why I gain weight... but it turns out there's a reason why everyone gains weight...

They eat even more where they can't see and hardly move at all...

 

I also know the two most important causes of my weight gain that I haven't been able to fix...

I don't know if it's because I'm tired, but I sleep so much... I sleep so deeply that I could be called Snorlax.

It's a weekday, so I have to work, and I can't take a nap, but it's the average amount of sleep...

I really sleep a lot on weekends... Even if I nap during the day, I get sleepy as soon as night comes and can't hold out.

People who can't sleep might envy even that, but I keep feeling sleepy, so I'm very tired and exhausted...

If I try to stay awake without sleeping, I become so tired that it's hard to work on weekdays.

 

And lately, I've been craving really salty foods... I'm trying not to eat salty foods, but my body seems to be craving sodium too much...

I've been craving kimchi more and more since the beginning of this year.

I try not to eat, but I think I eat a bit more salty than others...

As a result, swelling in my body continues to persist.

 

Even if daily life becomes a bit more tiring, can reducing sleep and moving more somehow build stamina, which in turn reduces sleep and allows for better exercise?

Enduring that difficult time will surely lead to better results, right?

 

I'm really feeling extremely down...;;

Everyone is working hard to stay healthy and maintain a slim figure...

Since I have a different body, I have no choice but to work several times harder than others just to become somewhat similar to them...

It's really hard on my heart.
