Great question! Here are some workout and food tips tailored for fat loss that can work well for you.
Workouts to Try
Since joint comfort and energy levels matter, a mix of low-impact and strength-based movement works well:
- Brisk walking — gentle, effective, and easy to adjust
- Resistance bands or light dumbbells — builds muscle, which helps burn more calories even at rest
- Bodyweight exercises — squats, seated exercises, or yoga
- Short intervals — even 5–10 minute sessions count if energy is low
Aim for around 150 minutes of moderate activity per week, spread across most days. Start small and build up gradually. Gluten-Free Food Suggestions for Fat Loss
Focus on whole, naturally gluten-free foods that support healthy blood sugar and reduce inflammation:
- Proteins: Grilled chicken, eggs, fish (especially salmon or sardines), tofu
- Whole grains: Quinoa, brown rice, millet, sorghum — all naturally gluten-free
- Vegetables: Leafy greens, sweet potatoes, non-starchy veggies
- Healthy fats: Avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil
- Snacks: Plain low-fat Greek yogurt, hummus with fresh veggies (check labels for gluten-free certification)
Limit sugary drinks, ultra-processed snacks, and fried foods, as these can increase body fat and affect blood sugar.
Always check labels carefully, as gluten can hide in sauces, marinades, and seasonings. Working with a dietitian can help build a plan that fits your specific needs — your doctor may be able to refer you to one. As a MyObesityTeam member shared, GLP-1 medications and lifestyle changes work best together — it truly is about making changes to what's on your plate AND moving your body every day, even if it's just a walk around the block. Every small step counts! 💪
