I need to lose weight because since I got promoted to a more sedentary job earlier this year, where I stand behind a desk all day instead of moving around, I've gained weight, my feet swell, and my ankles hate me. I want a treadmill for under my desk but they're expensive and I work with the public.

Cut sugar, low carb diets generally lower inflammation, especially keto ones. You don't even have to work out to gain the benefits it will get you, including weight loss.

AYRT--honestly, the proliferation of ketogenic diets for non-epilepsy sufferers creeps me out. They're hard to do well without doctor supervision and would be especially nasty for me since I haven't eaten meat in 23 years and don't intend to ever start again. Most "keto diets" don't actually have enough protein or few enough carbs to really be ketogenic, it's just Atkins/Paleo/etc by another name.

And I prefer how I feel and look if I eat as much as I want and exercise a lot to how I look and feel if I diet and don't exercise as much. I would almost certainly lose way more weight if I completely changed the way I ate and also exercised a ton, but I would be miserable, and it's doubtful the weight loss would stick long term, because I might be skinnier but so fucking what, I wouldn't be happy.

When my body was at it's healthiest and I got the most exercise and ate the most balanced diet of my life, I was miserable because I had a bit less than $20 a week for food and had to walk 8 miles round trip to buy groceries. I lived off what I could schlep uphill in a backpack for 4 miles, and I had no place to cook. I was raised to believe white sugar and flour were evil and screamed at for eating anything containing either, and that cars were a necessary evil to be avoided whenever possible. I like cooking and baking and candy-making, I like food, including prepackaged junk food and baked goods that use tons of sugar, and I think meat is disgusting. Keto diets aren't for me.

I grow my own fruit and veggies and raise my own laying hens, and I walk everywhere. I cook my own meals whenever I can. I've been vegetarian over 20 years. But like a lot of people, I gained weight when I ended up with a sedentary job and need to get more excercise elsewhere now that my job doesn't involve walking, bending, lifting, and stretching all day.
