There are an estimated 17 million women in the USA who have lipedema and most don't know it. (And as many as 350 million women worldwide.)

Lipedema is a relatively common fat disorder that is often mistaken for simple obesity. Its clinical diagnosis is an adipose tissue disorder or a lipid metabolism disorder. A typical lipedema patient is a woman who struggles with large hips and legs, usually out of proportion to the rest of her body.

Lipedema also appears in the upper arms. One of the hallmarks of the disease is that lipedema fat is relatively unresponsive to standard diet and exercise. These measures may lead to weight loss in other areas, but the size of the hips and legs remains disproportionately large.

Lipedema is a disorder of the adipose tissue distinguished by five characteristics:
☑️ it can be inherited;
☑️ it occurs almost exclusively in women;
☑️ it can occur in women of all sizes, from the seriously underweight to the morbidly obese;
☑️ it involves the excess deposit and expansion of fat cells in an unusual and particular pattern – bilateral, symmetrical, and usually from the waist to a distinct line just above the ankles; and
☑️, unlike the “normal” fat of obesity, lipedemic fat cannot be lost through standard diet and exercise.
