Never been overweight but am average to curvy and unable to lose/gain weight no matter what I do. Please help

[Anonymous]

I have a heart condition and my doctor told me to avoid strenuous excercise that would raise my heartrate so I can't do cardio workouts. I have tried pilates but didn't see results. I do not have the most active lifestyle but I sometimes do a lot of moderate to brisk walking for work. For the last 10 years I ate a very calorie restricted diet of less than 600cal/day (keeping liquids in

mind) and off and on experimented with a low-carb high-protein diet of water, 100% kale juice, tofu, chicken breasts, etc. I never lost the abdominal fat I've had since I was a child. I also want to lose fat in my thighs and upper arms but I've always been this "feminine" shape. I have never been skinny even as a child I was average. I'm 5'2 130lbs. Is lipo the only way?

I don't know much about heart conditions and their restrictions but yoga might be a possibility or other low intensity workouts. Look to do exercises that will work your lower abs. Also just having muscle makes your body burn more energy to maintain it.

Do stretching instead, like joining dancing classes or doing yoga.

have you thought of going vegan?

I have considered it and been close to it at times. Do you think it would help me lose fat?
