> Jay if you dip too low in calories muscle tissue is lost and the heart and internal organs contain muscle. So make sure it's healthy diet. And there is always the notorious thyroid conditions which seem to lead to either weight loss or gain. Since my surgery and drastic change in thyroid numbers I've lost tons of weight with no diet changes. Must be hyper now. Love Phillipa
Of course to make sure its a healthy diet, I mentioned exercise as well.And yes, you will lose muscle tissue as well if you don't exercise, but in the end, weight is weight. It would take a long time to lose internal organ tissue.
You lose water, any trunk and pectoral tissue that you used to have (sadly for me), and yes, fat if you cut back enough. I'm just saying its a plan if you have no other choices or they're not working.
You're not going to collapse of internal organ muscle damage with weight gain from Remeron for many a year. The benefits of losing weight in any manner to lessen strain on the heart outweigh any micrograms you'd ever lose on the heart in the short run. I'm not talking human torture.Personally, I just can't exercise much -- its harder for me because a) I don't have the time at the moment for the gym with therapy and trying to get my life on track and there are a lot of reasons why I can't go back right now.
I don't multitask as well as I used to and b) I probably have some form of tardive dystonia in my legs and arms, which varies -- its hard to say. I do walk sometimes when I can.
But I know, I'm projecting -- so its up to each person how they manage their weight.-- tidings
