Weight No More -
A Trimmer You

Prev

When you combine your dialysis diet with a weight loss diet, you may feel like there is nothing left to eat. Not true! It is possible to lose weight without starving yourself. You can eat a balanced diet that keeps the weight off, and still keeps your blood values and fluids in balance.

To take off weight, and keep it off, you have to change the way your body controls your weight. You can do this by getting more exercise. Then your body will burn off calories more easily, and you won't go around feeling hungry.
