EODD Diet Every Other Day Diet Review and Information

Exercising With Injuries or Disabilities

If you have started or are considering starting The Every Other Day diet and you have inluries or disabilities. you may be wondering if you can still lose weight. The answer is yes and I have been there myself.

In April of 2008 I was in a car accident that left me with a severe back injury. I was on the EODD Diet at the time and having great results. I really did not want to lose all of the progress I had made thus far.

Because of the injury I knew I would have to stop doing the exercise routines that I had been doing for the past year. I told my doctor about my worries and decided to take his advice and go to physical therapy.

My physical therapist was awesome and helped me form a plan that would allow me to continue exercising as long as it was done with care and on the plan he and I designed.

The plan involved a lot of walking and uper body exercises done in my chair. Combined with my twice weekly therapy he told me I should continue my weight loss close to the pace I was on before the accident.

I canceled my gym membership and bought some dumbbells.

Within 6 months I had healed enough to go back to the gym and started back on my regular routines. The therapist thinks the exercise during my rehab combined with the continued weight loss really helped to speed the healing.

The point of this post is to let my readers facing this kind of problem is to not give up! Find a way to make it work for you.

Be sure to consult your doctor or therapist before starting though.
