Actually, dietary restriction for Lipedema is actually recommended to limit sodium intake, and many individuals with the disease report that eliminating particular foods from their diet helps with pain and inflammation. Indeed, people with medical conditions must be all that more careful about their dietary habits. I'm another example, I have a heart condition that is incurable and except for implanting a defibrillator (which they have) untreatable. If I began to overeat and gain excess weight it would certainly worsen the condition, and could quite feasibly result in my untimely death. And the HAESers would point and say, "Look! It was her condishuns that killed her, not fat!" While in reality, so long as I continue keeping the rest of my body healthy, I should live a normal, long, happy life. The one thing (aside me doing cardio hence the need for good diet) that can take my long and happy life away from me would be if I got fat, tore my heart to bits, and perished within the year. But you can be fat and healthy!!!! Ha.
