I am trying to help my lady freind who is a 49 year old quadriplegic lose weight -

i cant find anything, online. she swears she cant loseweight beacause she is a quad. i know this is untrue. i used to be married to someone in a wheelchair. he lost weight, with unhealthy practices. ones i wont reccomend to her and she wouldnt take, anyway. i am looking fior healthy weight loss tips for her. she eats about 900 calories a day simply beacause she cant afford to eat more. unfortunately, sometimes people buy her food, or she splurges at the begginning of the month, and beacause her body is adapted to 900 calories a day, she gains rapidly. i am able to donate 50 a month to her, in addition to her 100. can anyone help me with tips?

It sounds like she s on some meds that cause the weight gain, and/or the difficulty to lose weight. Is that true? It can be so frustrating, so she has to decide what s more important to her. Her weight, or the medication. It s probably the medication. 900 calories is so little! Tell her to just enjoy the way the meds make her feel and not to worry about the weight. Just have her do any exercise that s possible.You re a good friend. Here s a star for you.Bless you and your friend. :)
