Weight gain can be a common and often unwanted side effect of chronic illness. In this episode Anna discusses how to approach weight loss when you are well enough to actively pursue it. The episode starts with a recap of concepts discussed in episode 33, reasons why we gain weight when chronically unwell, and then branches off into discussion about non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), resistance training, caloric maintenance, surplus and deficits and how to utilise these to your advantage. This episode is most appropriate for those who are at the tail end of their health journey and are able to give more attention to weight loss over and above other aspects of healing.
