Does anyone suffer from not being able to loose weight with fibromyalgia? The pain, depression and exhaustion makes it so difficult.

Has anyone succeeded?

Dropping dairy and "white" carbs (sugar, white flour, white bread) is a good start.beware of most processed fruit juices as they contain a ton of sugar. Focus on all the foods you can eat , fruits, vegetables, whole grains (limited amounts) unless you are sensitive to gluten, try to eat organic when possible, especially on thin skinned fruits. Drink lemon water throughout the day... These simple changes should help. Lean protein and try to include wild salmon when available. Avocados are a superfood and although they have gotten a bad rap being hig in fat, they have the good kind of fat( monounsaturated ) and will help in slimming the waistline. Use olive oil instead of butter.
