How can you lose weight if an injury prevents you from exercising?

Answer 1

You MUST reduce your caloric intake if you don't want to blow up like a balloon. When your output is reduced, either because of lifestyle changes or injury (or laziness!), you will gain weight if you don't put the fork down. Americans tend to overeat at all meals but particularly at lunch. Reduce lunch to one regular sandwich or half a small sub (or hero or hoagie or grinder or po' boy, whatever you call it in your part of the country) or ONE slice of Pizza and a Diet Soda. Something along those lines, calorie-wise. Keep in mind that many SALADS sold by Wendy's and McDonald's have a HUGE amount of calories. So, watch out. Of course, that's not an excuse to go hog wild at breakfast and dinner.

Answer 2

You will never be unable to exercise...... Even if you are not mobile several activities that can be performed sitting can boost your metabolism rate and this accompanied by dietary changes can enhance weight loss.

Answer 3

By hurt and can't work out I'm assuming that you mean something catastrophic that prevents you from working any of the muscles, which is seldom the case. If there are isolated muscle groups that can be worked out, using them will help. If you have a broken leg, there is nothing that will prevent you from working out the arms and chest and even the other leg.

Reduction of calorie intake is the biggest thing to do.
