how can an obese person who can barely exercise lose weight?

Question

combined with eating properly how can an obese person lose weight with at home DVD's, etc. how about trying something like pilates or yoga? is that too hard?

Answer 1

The workout videos are difficult for most people to keep up with.

The best thing to do is to get a meal plan from a registered dietician. You can be referred to a dietician directly from your family doctor. By following the meal plan for awhile, you can get down to a weight where it is safe for you to exercise. Your doctor can tell you exactly what weight that is, once they take into account any other health problems that may be in existence. Don't forget, your doctor is not there to judge you, and in all likelihood went into the profession to help people, so do not be intimidated.

Congratulations on taking the first step to better health: you WANT to lose weight, and are exploring your options. That is the first step and getting started is the hardest, but after that, you will begin to feel better.

Wishing you all the best!

6 common reasons why we don’t lose weight 1.Many of our social interactions include food. 2.Restaurants portions have increased (particularly fast food). 3.We are less active than in the past. 4.We find it unacceptable to be hungry. 5.We misunderstand how weight is maintained. 6.We forget the extra food we eat everyday, or we think we ate less than we did. Simple truths about weight loss Many people think weight loss is like emptying a bucket with a ladle. A scoop out of the bucket today, tomorrow, next week will eventually empty the bucket. Not so with our bodies. When we decrease our food intake, our bodies try to absorb and store more calories the next time we eat in excess of what our body needs. So, even though we are cutting down most of the time, we will not lose weight if we get extra calories part of the time. The simple rule of weight loss is that you must consistently burn off more calories than you take in. Any type of weight loss diet can work as long as calorie intake is consistently reduced, every day. A diet that is balanced with small quantities of vegetables, fruit, grains and lean meat or fish is the healthiest. Exercise helps, but unless you are an athlete, you will have to cut calories, too. And remember, it’s OK to be hungry when losing weight. Once a goal is achieved, every day is for maintaining. If you go back to eating more and exercising less, the weight will go right back on.

One step at a time. The person may have difficult working out, but walking every day for about 35+ minutes with diet will improve the person's stamina, and soon enough the person will be able to step up the workout. I would also consult with a doctor before starting any workout routine.
