comment The “science of fullness” diets?
The 16 oz glass of water before you eat is probably key. This study shows a 44% greater decline in weight with dieters who drank 500 ml of water prior to their meals than those who did not. 500 ml = 16.906 fl oz

comment Pain in upper chest and upper back, what can i do?
He told you that it wasn't your heart, but what did he say it was? If you think it is muscular, what muscle do you think it is that you may have strained? When does it hurt - when exercising or when sitting at the computer or all the time? What makes it feel better? Some more info will help to better answer your questions as to other treatments and types of exercise. As for your doctor's advice, unless you have a reason not to follow it, why not see if it works?

comment Sport that is less stressful to knees?
You can also strengthen the quads in standing with a resistance band and minimal movement. But strengthening is only one part of the answer. Flexibility and alignment are also important. It is worth seeing a professional at least once or twice for an evaluation and a set of appropriate exercises. Good luck.

Gunbuster, without knowing what is wrong with your knees it would be difficult to recommend any exercises. Generally with knee problems it is safe to do isometrics - you contract the muscle without moving the knee joint. These four basic exercises strengthen the major muscles needed to protect the knee and can be done with ankle weights as tolerated: SLR, Glutes, ABD, ADD.
