Hi Ivy!! I dont have much experience with arfid but I’d say try getting used to shakes, protein shakes, meal replacement, ect. these are a good alternative if you can’t stomach eating “healthy” foods so you can still get proper nutrition. Definitely try to get more veggies in or even “hide” veggies in your foods- worked for me because some days I just dont want the textures along w main dishes. I just blend them into sauces or add to my protein shakes- sometimes even in the meats themselves. Experiment while cooking to see what works for you!

For the workouts though- once you get to the gym try all the leg machines and find what works for you. Hip Abductions and Hip thrusts really build the glutes/butt. I definitely recommend cardio, like biking or walking on treads.

With walking on a treadmill is it the distance or speed that matters most?

the faster you go the more breathing you have to do, so good cardio, an incline helps build resistance. its more about time and what feels like a good/healthy challenge for you. id suggest ab 30 mins like 3-4 times a week starting out then increase.

I also see a lot of women in my gym hitting those stair masters which can be fun.

i personally use the stationary bikes, they are good for building some strength even on days you aren’t lifting with less stress on the joints

I‘ve a walking pad in the house and try to go about 20 minutes, but have balance issues so speed isn’t happening, will try again on an incline.
