Weight-Loss Tips for Fibromyalgia Sufferers

Treating the thyroid will fix your metabolism. "Without it, long-term weight loss is almost impossible," Dr. Teitelbaum says.

Ask your doctor about supplements such as alpha lipoic acid (an antioxidant) and D-ribose (a sugar molecule), which may boost metabolism.

"Ribose is the heart of energy production in the body," Dr. Teitelbaum says. Alpha lipoic acid also gives you more drive by turning blood sugar into energy.

7. You're not sure how to eat better.
For many women, sticking with fruits and vegetables and eliminating processed foods reduces fibromyalgia symptoms.

But some experimentation is necessary.

"Studies have yet to find a specific diet beneficial to those with fibromyalgia," says Joseph G. Skender, M.D., director of rheumatology for Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Mich.

The solution: Strip out all foods with preservatives or colorings.

A clean, all-natural diet helps you stay healthy, according to Dawn Weatherwax, R.D., CSSD, LD, owner of SportsNutrition2Go.com.
