Hey all! I started my weight loss journey in mid Jan this year, after feeling much less mobile over the last 6 months or so. I've lost just about 15lbs so far, though I didn't weigh myself properly to begin with so that could be inaccurate. In any case, I'm starting to feel more mobile and am having less pain so far which is great.
A little about me: female, 33 years old, suffer with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis - these since I was young, otherwise fit and a healthy weight so not really due to my weight. I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few years ago, personally I think this is a mix up with the arthritis. Previous to the weight loss, I was eating a mix of healthy and unhealthy foods; lots of fruit, vegetables, chicken and rice but in the evenings I would eat a lot of chocolate or other treats without even considering how much I was eating.
Now, I am eating more of the healthy stuff but mostly counting calories, aiming for 1400-1500 per day which on most days I am achieving with ease (so far!). On weekdays I have coffee in the mornings but nothing to eat until lunch - usually chicken salad - at about 2pm, unless I'm feeling hungry in which case I'll have a light breakfast of fruit. Then I'll have dinner at about 6-7pm which is usually chicken with veg and rice or occasionally a less healthy dinner but still only about 600-800 calories. Often I'm finding I need an evening snack to get up to 1400 calories but this suits me fine as I normally want to eat in evenings anyway. Weekends for some reason I always want breakfast when I get up but again it's something light.
On to my question: are there any recommended supplements I should consider taking to support my diet? I was considering things like vitamin D (UK and no sunshine!) and apple cider vinegar, but I don't want to waste money on things that don't really have any benefit for me. Feel free to ask any clarifying questions and thanks for reading my essay and for your advice in advance!
