I too was too disabled to do exercise. I couldn’t stand up for long or climb more than a flight of stairs, slowly, before having to take a rest and climb the second flight of stairs. I was too uncoordinated to drive my motorbike and very insecure driving my car. Of course, I also had severe anxiety, brain fog, speech slur and problem solving not so complex problems. I could never have lifted weights in that state.
however, after going on a carnivore diet and completely getting rid of carbs (I was also eating small qty of spinach and kale) most of the neurological symptoms went away. After a few weeks, i started gaining strength. When I first started exercising, 3 months in the diet, I could do 10 squat, maybe 5 push ups and only 1 pull up and I had to kick myself in the ass hard to get the motivation to do it.
Now I can do more than 50 squats, 30 push ups and 15 pull ups. Not great numbers, but better than before.
In my opinion, diet has to come first. There’s no guarantee but I didn’t hear anyone who got his pfs worst from eating only meat. There is what is called keto flu in the first week, and it has turned away many who have tried.
It’s not an easy diet, but after a year and a half, I can say it’s sustainable.
