I have been suffering from severe asthma for the last couple weeks. I am on 2 different inhalers plus a nebulizer. I am 30 pounds overweight (mostly in belly) . I NEED to lose as much as possible as quick as possible because it would help my breathing. As you see it is impossible for me to do any type of exercise at this point.

Can anyone suggest a liquid diet or some other diet that will help me shed this weight?

Has anyone heard of the Water Diet? If so, does it work? I heard of a person eating nothing but chicken or/eggs for months and lost lots of weight.

Suggestions Anyone? Please Don't be rude....

Thanks

    Hi I want suggest an extreme diet as it will make you lose weight but want make you healthier in the long run, cutting down your food intake is definitely the best way to go to lose adequate weight to improve your breathing.

    Are you under the breathing clinic, have you been referred to a dietician to maybe workout an appropriate amount of calories per day for your needs.

    Can I ask are you male or female and what height and weight you are and I will give you some help to kick start your weight loss program, you also need to take into account any other health issues you may have

    I hope I have not offended you asking these questions

    We are not always the size or weight we would like but we can get their with support
