Watch what you eat.
Work out in the water (ask your doctor)

>Work out in the water
Is that actually a thing? Because I remember reading somewhere that some olympic athletes run laps in a swimming pool, since it gives them a full-body workout, but I didn't know that regular jackoffs like me could do that.

And it would have to be running laps and not swimming laps, because I can't swim.

go ask /fit/. they'll tell you to read the sticky, so before you ask them, read the sticky.
it will tell you that all you can do right now is fixing your diet, the rest will have to wait until you're out of crutches.

>The following info is just basic advice that you probably already know, if you've looked into dieting
Run the numbers on swole.me, get on a maintenance (or slight loss) diet, healing while losing weight is a bad idea.
Qualitatively, you should try to follow a mediterranean diet, eating a lot of veggies and legumes. You won't need any supplement, if you really want some go for Vitamin D.
If you do this, remember to avoid the 2 dieting pitfalls:
>eating something without counting the calories
>eating something and counting less calories than it was
and you'll do great.

You do know that gravity is different in the water right? Thus not damaging your joints with heavy weight. Your body becomes lighter. That's why doctors usually recommend it

But I don't knoe if it will work since you don't swim.
However I wish you good luck

I do that in the sea with out-of-shape people that want to come hiking. Not the full-immersion running, that would take extra equipment, but water-to-the-chest running.
It's a good workout.

I live too far from the ocean for that to be feasible. But I'm going to look into exercising in a pool. Especially since it's summer and hot as balls.

Obviously I'll ask my doctor first.

My grandpa had several knee surgeries and used to walk laps in the pool to stay in shape and strengthen his knees.

>I can't swim
You can't swim because of the injury, or you can't swim in general?

If the latter, this seems like the perfect opportunity to learn. It's stupidly easy to learn the basics.

I drowned once when I was about six and then almost drowned once when I was 18. Actually, even thinking about jogging in a pool right now is making me feel a bit queasy.

Eat a third of what you're eating.

Stick to natural whole grains. Stay away from anything processed.

Stay away from fried foods

Olive oil is good for you but don't abuse it, it's an oil after all
