Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Methadone may not be responsible for weight gain.Weight loss may be attained by 3 steps.
1)Avoid taking more of calories, fats, junk foods, and fries.
2)minimize the sleeping period,late to bed and early to rise. avoid the sleeping in the day time.
3)practice,morning walk,yoga, extracurricular like gardening etc.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to have good health and resistance against infections.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
