If a woman has lipedema, lifestyle can only do so much. I live on a whole food, anti inflammatory, low carb lifestyle and exercise extensively, but will never be below 200lbs because lipedema fat is resistant to diet and exercise. For me and the millions of other women with lipedema, lifestyle is not enough. Lipedema is a common disease and millions of women have it. We are fat shamed even when we life extremely healthy lifestyles. We develop anorexia and are still considered obese. There need to be more treatments for people who have lipedema, than just lifestyle.
