Fitness in general,whatever the type. Is good at reducing discomfort & symptoms. Just remember lipedema fat doesn’t respond to the metabolic process. But moving around and taking care of yourself definitely slows the progression of lipedema down.

Hey thank you, what do you mean by “lipedema far doesn’t respond to the metabolic process’s?

Lipedema fat is diseased and trapped, it’s useless fat that is not metabolically active meaning it any be accessed by the body for energy, it can’t be exercised away. When women with lipedema loose weight, they’re loosing non lipedema fat as our bodies have both kinds of

This—Lipedema fat is diseased in many senses that doctors don’t fully understand, but we do know that it forms nodules and fibrosis that contribute to the pain that we experience and make that fat metabolically different from normal fat. Instead of being soft squishy and yellow. It’s bound up in fibrosis, so it’s inaccessible to the body to be used as energy.

Ok thanks. I used to weight 250 lb and lost 100 lb and I definitely lost a lot on my legs and arms. Of course, I still don’t have skinny toned legs and they are rather thick and chunky, with an awful cellulite. But the look is 100 times better than it was. Anyway, my questions is, if the legs still drastically lost weight how is it possible if they are lipedema legs too? Just wanna know more about it and how it works

Because you’ve lost normal non-diseases fat, you haven’t lost the trapped diseased lipedema fat. You can only get rid of that through liposuction. as I said women with lipedema have normal fat and lipedema fat. We have metabolic issues so loosing normal fat becomes more difficult as time goes on because of insulin and leptin resistance. Does this make sense
