Would fixing my diet alone help even without exercise?

Absolutely.

Also considering there's many degrees of eating healthy. It could be anywhere from 100% clean eating to 0% clean eating.

I dated a girl who wanted phatter ass, then went on to say "i talked to a personal trainer, and he said i could only put an inch at most onto my ass", so she didn't even try. Fo you think her ass would look better or worse after exercising 3 days a week for a few months? Instead, since her ass would never be like j lo's, she said fuck it.

Don't just eat like shit and not do anything because you won't ever be arnold schwarzenegger. Do what you can. Eat well, go for walks, and strove for small improvements. Especially in the beginning. Just start moving and trying to fix bad habits one battle at a time.

Yeah but don't use it as an excuse to not do the shit you can do.

Your question has an obvious answer. Yes, diet helps.. Lots of things help. From the other comments I read I saw someone mentioning swimming. This could also help you a lot. There's also pool aerobic classes you could take that are designed for people with similar issues and they have light weights to use in the pool. Definitely look into any kind of rehab type exercises so you can recover as quick as possible.

You can make a lot of changes through diet alone.
It's up to you to figure out your body's limitations and then plan how to work around them. Try to stay active, as much as you can, within the boundaries of what your injuries allow. Find something you can do, and pursue it diligently. Don't let yourself become any more soft.

yes, absolutely. abs are made in the kitchen.

avoid eating overly processed junk food and eat more fresh meats and vegetables. also try to track what you're eating. it's very easy to consume a LOT more calories than you think you're eating when you're just eating whatever.

eating healthier (and losing excess fat) may also help your recovery process.

Changing your diet will indeed help. First of all, it will help you not get fat. After all, you need to preserve what good looks you have left while you’re recovering.

Apart from that, do you think bodyweight exercises will be something you’ll be able to do in the future?

If so, believe me. I don’t lift, because I resent it, it’s just not for me. However, I do bodyweight exercises and I swim and run. More dynamic shit that gives me actual pleasure while staying active, and also builds my body.

Yes. I've had coworkers who have very obvious changes to body composition just from focusing on the diet.

But here's the thing: You have no excuse not to be active. There is always bodyweight exercises. Do them. If you don't, it means you lack discipline. Girls looking at you won't know why it is that you're weak, but they'll be able tell that you both are weak and you have some other flaw that makes you weak.

No. If you are skinny fat, that means you should gain muscle.

Fat=muscle+fat Skinny Fat=fat Buff=Muscle+little fat Ripped=muscle

Go to a gym or buy a barbell and dumbbells. Lifting will make both burn fat and build muscle. Also it will increase your T. This is why this subreddit doesn’t say play soccer nor run but lift.

If you want strength, there's nothing like lifting, but if you're looking to shed some weight - you can do it in the kitchen. I did a year where I just did body weight exercises and ate vegetarian and never really 'hit the gym' and still had a better body than most, so it's possible but exercise will expedite the process and really it has so many more benefits than just sitting around - I mean you're not too busy for 40 minutes to an hour ever other day or so right?
