How can I diet and exercise with illnesses that prevent me from doing so?
Frage von rose_death_by_stereo_shadow_vbbc: How can I diet and exercise with illnesses that prevent me from doing so?
I am a fifteen almost sixteen year old girl, and I want to start loosing weight. I am 5’4″ and weigh almost 190 pounds (though people think I am lying because they say I look about 150). I am determined to lose this extra flab and I have even started a nice, healthy diet, but it is difficult for me.
First off, I have a bad combination of acid reflux disease and developing Crohn’s Disease, and lactose intolerance that prevents me from eating some food that would be good for me, but gives me nausea and “stomach problems” to put it lightly.
Also, I have anemia and a very bad case of asthma (I cant walk from one end of out tiny school to the other without taking my inhaler) these prevent me from getting enough excercise because I quickly become weak and my chest tightens and I double over coughing.
I am not blaming my illnesses for being overweight, but they get in the way of me getting healthy. Please help! What should I do?

talk to your doctor, he/she should be able to better suggest a workout routine for you, also ask to be referred to a good dietician
You need to see a Dr. and also a nutrionist who work together and share your records to get you on the right diet. They can also help you with the right exercise plan. There are lactose free milks, such as Mootopia, and other dairy products.
Talk to your doctor about your goals and your challenges. See if he can either make recommendations or point you to somebody that can help you.
It’s going to take baby steps. The pain that you feel or the symptoms that you feel when you do certain things are feedback from your body telling you not to do more. Listen to your body.
Good luck.
No matter what you have, you’re body will never object to cutting down on junk food like sodas and chips and cookies. Also, eat plenty of fresh produce and any healthy foods that don’t make you sick. As for the ones that do, talk to your doctor or even a dietitian about substitutes for those foods.
As for exercise, have you tried pilates or yoga? They require slow, deep breathing and I don’t know if that would cause problems, but if you don’t think it would, I would give those a shot. Also, strength training will be very beneficial. Find a routine (I’m sure there are lots of info online) and do that a few times a week).
Being healthy isn’t about perfection, so just do the best you can. Good luck!
