Have Congenital Heart Block. No Chest Pain, Breathlessness Or Dizziness. Want To Lose Weight

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your query.
Yes, diet plays a important role in weight loss.Low carbohydrate , low fat and high protein diet is what all you need.Low fat diet would favour the breakdown of stored fat in the body irrespective of the heart rate.The fat deposit just acts a energy reserve in states of low calorie consumption.
The other face of faster weight loss is work out.Yes, in the initial stages of work out the heart rate tends to cope with the over exercising muscles. A safety range for you with congenital conduction defect would be around 70 to 90per sec.Anything crossing 100 can trigger a rhythm defect.Slow and gradual increments in the exercise module will be safe.Around after 6 months or so , the heart would get adapted to the excess work and come to resting stage and do not show much variation even when working out.
Hope I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
