So each pound you lose is 4 ponds off your knee. Low impact exercise, healthy anti-inflammatory diet consisting of lean protein including wild salmon 1-2x per week, fruits, and vegetables, and avoiding starches and sugar is essential to maintaining healthy joints. Also, make sure to get some healthy fat with each meal from sources like avocado or coconut oil. Also, it is better to eat 2 or 3 meals a day rather than 5-6 small meals because this leads to better control of insulin secretion which is key to keeping inflammation down in the body
