Hi and welcome, going low carb will definitely impact your weight loss, you can boost this with doing something simple like walking, I struggled at the start due to a preexisting heart problem so exercise had been off the radar for a long time. I knew I would never stick with (or survive) going to the gym, changes are for life so need to be sustainable for you. At first I struggled to get to the end of the road and back, but taking my time and building up slowly was key, I borrowed my neighbors dog so I didn’t feel such a numpty walking on my own, also when the dog stopped to sniff or pee, I could catch my breath. Within a few months I was walking a good half hour, that increased to an hour.....but what I hadn’t anticipated was the added value, my mood improved, my breathing improved, my weight was dropping and I felt happier! Within six months my bloods were back in normal range and I had dropped 4 stone 😱 Biggest surprise was (and still is) my angina went from needing my gtn spray daily to haven’t touched it in about 9 months now
