How can a special needs person in a wheelchair lose weight?

Calorie deficit: Weight loss depends upon a calorie deficit: take in fewer calories than are burned. Do so consistently over a long period of time, and this results in slow but steady weight loss. It is more difficult to burn calories when using a wheelchair for mobility, but an arm-cycle may be an option for exercise for some. Dietary restriction is a vital part of the weight loss plan. A dietician can help.
