Start small, sometimes just going through the motions keeps the motion growing stronger. I would walk or bike or some form of cardio twice a day 20min each. I would also keep carbs between 50g to 100g a day. Also i use to pull all carbs out once a week besides veggies and also got into making smoothies both fruit and protein. Also there are some amazing protein recipes to make healthy brownies and such to curve cravings. I would look into IIFYM, if it fits your macros and do the calculator. Also if possible some weight training 3 days a week. I have much info in this realm. Ive lost over 100lbs a few times ;). Im in alot of disagreement w the medical community when it comes to headaches. Yup heres a pill, bye and that will be $200. There are many many types of headaches which require different treatments. As far as occipital, most times they are tension headaches from either posture, stress, certain foods or a mixture. Stretching/exersize, chiropractic, Accupuncture, massage, and health supplements. Especially natural anti inflammatories. 1st line of defence. I would recommend ncr to anyone even if healthy. Truly powerful. It gave major relief but ive only had 4 visits and have a chronic case. Im willing to do up to 32 sessions w the hope of a possible cure. Again in my case my neck is most likely the issue amd may have an entrapped nerve either from a muscle, bone spur etc. One step at a time on this journey. I hope to one day write how NCR has cured me. We shall see. Ty kindly and best of luck.
