concerned about the life of my friend… desperately need help?
My friend used to be 140 lbs in high school but at the end of her senior year she got the birth control shot. In one year she gained 80 lbs. She went to the doctors and her hormones are all screwed up. She has Arthritis and she is borderline of pre- diabetes. I’m very concerned for her. She exercises 4 times a week for 45 minutes. she either sometimes eats bad or she will only eat 1 or 2 times a day. I dont know how to help her. She really is trying but the weight wont seem to come off. She tries to put on a front and joke around about her weight but i know that she is hurting inside. She likes this one guy but never tries to persue him becuz she thinks he wont like her becuz she is bigger. Also her mom is always making horrible comments about how she is fat and its awful. I’m afraid that her extra weight with arthritis will cripple her, she is only 22 yrs old and has been diagnosed with juvenille rheumatoid arthtitis since she was a baby. Does anyone have advice on how i can help her?

You are right to be concerned about your friend. Birth control shots can cause weight gain. She would be wise to get an IUD placed for birth control, a lot of them even stop you from having periods.
Your friend needs to go on a low carb diet. She needs to eat at least one low calorie yogurt before each meal. Studies have indicated that yogurt can give you calcium, cut down on your appetited adn can suppress your appetite and the active cultures in yogurt cause you to lose weight faster, 50% faster.
She needs to eat a low fat diet as well, no fried foods. salads with low calorie dressings. She needs to eat less, but in more frequent portions to keep her blood sugar up.
This should give your friend a start. Good luck
