No, exercise for weight loss is not advised in ME/CFS. Stretching, range of motion, and very limited (light weights with very very short duration as in <5 mins) strength exercise is advised for some patients. If you need to lose weight with ME/CFS, diet is likely to be your best bet.I have always been skinny but now i am overweight from lack of activity and need to lose pounds.
